Can you play UK games on an American DS?

Yes because the DS is not region locked so unlike the other consoles where you can only play PAL region games (Most of Europe, Africa excluding West Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand) in a PAL console or NTSC (The Americas excluding Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay that use PAL and Japan) games in a NTSC console.

You have bought PS1 games from America but cant get them to play on your UK PS1 ps2 or ps3?

Games for disc-based consoles are region locked. You can't play a Japanese version of MGS4 on a American or European PS3, for example. Cartridge based consoles (especially portables) do not have region-locking. So. Either get an NTSC PlayStation or scam someone else to get your money back. (Can't believe that someone would not actually be aware of region-locking... sigh...)


Will UK Nintendo Wii games work on a US Nintendo Wii?

No, The two types of consoles have different region encoding. This is called Region Lockout (or Region Lock). They are incompatible. UK games will not work on a US wii. The UK use a PAL (Phase Alternating Line) system whereas the US use NTSC (National Television System Committee). There is a CD called Freeloader which should allow you to play games from different regions on your US wii. i.e JP and UK games will work on the US wii with the CD
