Does a program for the computer exist where you can for instance save pictures/ Music of a game onto the computer, or load new music to a game? (EG. I want to change the background music in... let's say animal crossing wild world) It would be pretty cool!   :)

I think that kind of program will be to complex to make.

aww... you'd just have to replace the music files! (well maybe still convert them to something or so)

Most DS games don't use wave or mp3 files (except for stuff like Elite Beat Agents) so it's not as easy as "insert music here and it will work."  You can try extracting the game with DSLazy and seeing where the .sdat file is, which I believe is the audio file, but beyond that I have no clue.

A screenshot program wouldn't work because the DS can only run one file at a time since it has no operating system like the PSP does.  Once the game loads, your screenshot program would be cleared out of memory entirely.  It might be possible to implement screenshots on a cart-by-cart basis, but support would have to be added by the flash cart manufacturers themselves, and even then you'd be limited to only a couple screenshots at a time of the main screen only (which is decided by the game developers).  The CycloDS Evolution team was looking into this, but I don't think they got too far.
