Not true, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_lockout "The Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS do not have regional lockout;"
(The games for Chinese DS/iQue are the exception: need the larger Chinese firmware due to the language)

"thanx to a guy from TosheX of emuforums"
This is a list of some of the most common D/P bugs and their solutions (found by either me or the boys and girls here on the forum)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Even though it is not a bug, here are the details of how to emulate the game, i read too many questions about it lately so please read these instructions - there are as detailed as i can give so dont pm me for further explanations:
HOW TO EMULATE GAME SECTION
1. DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION OF NO$GBA AND EXTRACT IT IN A FOLDER OF YOUR CHOICE
2. IN THE SAME FOLDER PLACE THE FIRMWARE AND BIOS FILES (FILES SHOULD BE NAMED FIRMWARE.BIN ; BIOSNDS7.ROM ; BIOSNDS9.ROM)
- IMPORTANT NOTE: THESE FILES SHOULD BE DUMPED FROM YOUR OWN NDS CONSOLE VIA CABLE USING OPTIONS IN UTILITY MENU IN NO$GBA EMULATOR; THERE ARE OTHER WAYS OF OBTAINING THESE FILES BUT THOSE WAYS ARE CONSIDERED ILLEGAL AND THUS ASKING ABOUT IT HERE IS FORBIDEN
3. USING ENDRYPTS ADVANCE PROGRAM ENCRYPT YOUR GAME ROM (YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAM BY CLICKING HERE)
4. OPEN THE GAME ROM IN NO$GBA AND ADJUST YOUR OPTIONS > EMULATION SETTINGS TO THE FOLLOWING (SEE SCREEN SHOT) AND SAVE THE OPTIONS

NOW YOU CAN RESET AND THE GAME WILL BE PLAYABLE!!! FOR SOLUTIONS OF PROBLEMS AND BUGS THAT MAY OCCURE WHILE PLAYING GAME SEE THE BUGS AND FIXES SECTION BELOW...
----------------------------------------------------------------
BUGS AND FIXES SECTION
BUG: English version shows a blue screen after save during load, or freezes after load
SOLUTION: The blue screen is shown when using NO$GBA.INP renamed in firmware.bin, and the black screen freeze game when using dumped firmware... the solution for successful load is a patch made by Kingcom. You can find the program for patching here and the ips patch file here. To patch load the encrypted ROM in the upper field (for how to encrypt the rom see step 3 from the HOW TO EMULATE GAME SECTION above) and the IPS file in the lower one (for details see screenshot below). Once again greatest thanx to Kingcom

NOTE: This patch is tested on Diamond Version and Pearl Version too!
EDIT:If u r using a 'newer than 2.4a version no$gba emu' then get the ".nds" file again and "don't patch it" i hope I am making not patching part clear. This is only for ingame saves as in
start->menu->Save->Yes and not the F7 andf F8 button type saving(also known as "quicksave" or "savestate") and choose the correct save type for the rom. Thanks to Chris21 for this post.
Bug 1: Game freezes at end of first (and other) battle(s)
Solution: JUST TURN ON SOUND. At end of battle pokemon that faints makes a cry sound, and with disabled sound game freezes and waits for the cry of the fainting pokemon to be prosecuted;
Bug 2: Game freezes when trying to deposit pokemon in computer box
Solution A: Use second or third option in the computer to open the deposit boxes, change to an empty box, and then return to the previous menu and deposit option should work
Solution B: Use the third - move option instead of the deposit option (which is first) to move pokemon from hand to box or from box to hand... game starts to run verry slow sometimes while trying to move a pokemon from hand to box so just use Solution A before moving the pokemon from hand;
Bug 3: Upper screen turns white while exploring an area
Solution: This is just a graphical problem actualy, its just FOG... fog is not drawn right and instead of looking like fog it makes the whole screen white, so just open the menu and use HM05 Fog Clear - now after u use fog clear the screen is still white (the screen needs to be reset), so just open any menu that ocupies the whole screen (like the pokemon list, map, pokedex, etc.) and return to the game afterwards. The fog will be gone since the screen is reset and u can play normally;
Bug 4: At some points when there is a movie sequence the screen turns white or freezes
Solution: Just wait a while the screen will return to normal;
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME FOR FURTHER EXPLANATION - THIS IS THE MOST DETAILED EXPLANATION I CAN GIVE, AND I BELIVE IT SHOULD BE ENOUGH

u should try his advice and instruction

Boot the game into the DS' system menu and change the language, or ditch firmware.bin.
You can't fix it, it's not a problem. The game was designed for the DS, and you are supposed to hold the DS like a book.
Nicolai25,
It is called Rotate and it is not supporting for no$gba yet.. It will but not at anytime.
FlotsamX,
You are wrong... you are not developer.The rotate supporting will be add-on for no$gba in the near future. Desmume and iDeaS already have them.
Alright... but as of NOW, it can't be fixed. AFAIK, NO$GBA 2.5c doesn't have rotation.
