How to Save Carnival Games on Nintendo DS

When playing the cartridge version of "Carnival Games" for the Nintendo DS, game saves are automatic and will reload each time. If you use a space-saving ROM file to play the game on the DS, then you need to follow specific patch instructions to enable saving games. Using your home computer and DS ROM editing software like DS Lazy and Max Overload, you can save your "Carnival Games" in a matter of minutes.
