Unused Music#
Solity Found in the sound_data.sdat file. This sounds very similar to the Brain Age "Staff Credits" song without the bird sounds and some different instruments. Likely an earlier version of the final song.
Edit A track that sounds similar to the Configuration song used in the first Brain Age game.
Alternative Ranking Music Found in the sound_data_small.sdat file. This is the Ranking music used in Brain Age. This and Solity may have been used to simply take up empty ROM space.
Anti-Piracy#
The Korean version of this game uses the DS Protect anti-piracy library to ensure that it is not being run off a flashcart or emulator. If any of the DS Protect checks fail, the game intentionally crashes whenever any non-Sudoku challenge is loaded.
This version of the game uses a very early version of the DS Protect library, sometimes dubbed version 1.00 or 1.02, which is the earliest recorded version of such, making the Korean version of this game one of the first games to use this library.
