 1.1)  Releases must be packed in RAR. SFV and NFO must be included.
 1.2)  Rars must be split to volumes of 5 MB (5,000,000 bytes)
 1.3)  Rars must be compressed with M1 (fastest) or better.
 1.4)  For the sake of better current and future flashcart compatibility and to 
       keep ROM data consistent, full untouched, unmodified, unaltered dumps 
       are prefered. However, if an altered/introed/cracked ROM is released on 
       the scene before an untouched ROM then it will be allowed. 
 1.5)  Cracks to make games work on specific hardware are allowed but should 
       only be released as a PATCH and should not include the original ROM 
       game data. Flashcarts used to test a crack or patch must be listed in 
       the NFO, this includes the name of the flashcart, firmware name and the
       firmware version number.
 1.6)  Any redump of the altered ROM should be tagged as CLEAN or REDUMP and 
       not as a PROPER nor should any crack be tagged as a PROPER of a valid 
       clean release.
 1.7)  The ROM image of the NDS game must be .nds
 1.8)  Directory names must include: Game name, region, system name, group name
 1.9)  If a game does not include the English language, this must be specified
       in the dir name unless the region tag implies that region's native 
       language is the only language in the game eg. game tagged JPN is Japanese 
       only, hence does not need to state the language.
 1.10) If a game is rereleased with additional foreign languages, the directory
       name can be tagged MULTI, however the NFO must specify which additional 
       languages are included.
 1.11) Acceptable characters for a dirname are:
       ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789.-_
 1.12) Recommended directory format:
       Game_Name_<REGION>_<MULTI#/PROPER/READNFO/REPACK/CRACK/etc.>_NDS-GRPNAME
       Game.Name.<REGION>.<MULTI#/PROPER/READNFO/REPACK/CRACK/etc.>.NDS-GRPNAME
 1.13) DSi and DSi related releases will be regarded as NDS releases and will
       adhere to this ruleset. DSi related releases must have the tag DSi 
       in the directory name. Recommended directory format is:
       Game_Name_<REGION>_<MULTI#/PROPER/READNFO/REPACK/CRACK/etc.>_DSi_NDS-GRPNAME
       Game.Name.<REGION>.<MULTI#/PROPER/READNFO/REPACK/CRACK/etc.>.DSi.NDS-GRPNAME
       Game_Name_<REGION>_<MULTI#/PROPER/READNFO/REPACK/CRACK/etc.>_DSiWARE_NDS-GRPNAME
       Game.Name.<REGION>.<MULTI#/PROPER/READNFO/REPACK/CRACK/etc.>.DSiWARE.NDS-GRPNAME
