The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

None of the 62 antivirus engines that checked it flagged this file. Its name and exact 64 MB size match a Nintendo DS cartridge image, which is game data run inside an emulator rather than a Windows program. It has been submitted by 96 sources since Aug 22, 2018, and no malware database lists it.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • No sandbox run or inspection of the file contents is available. The assessment rests on the engine results, the file type and its history.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.
