Advance Wars: Days of Ruin is the second Nintendo DS game in the Wars series. It features a much darker storyline, completely disconnected from the prior lighthearted entries, set in a post-apocalyptic world. The character designs this time was provided by Hiroaki of King of Fighters fame.
The Japanese version was shelved numerous times due to various circumstances, despite the fact that it was not only already finished, but was even contained within the code of the American and European versions. It was eventually given an official release as a downloadable DSiware game.

Subpages
 | English Translation Differences (Contains spoilers!) Nearly completely different English text. |
Unused Music
Some unused music can be found nested in the game's SDAT. Some of it includes midi renditions of what are played as wave streams (.strm) in the final release, while others are just not played in the game.
BGM_RESULT1:
Appears to be a victory track. Replaced by a different one of the streaming audio tracks.
BGM_HAPPY2:
A remix of the song "For the Sake of Omega Land" from Advance Wars: Dual Strike, not used anywhere in the game.
BGM_SADLV2:
An unused track that appears to be two tracks stitched together.
BGM_GMAP4:
A MIDI rendition of the streaming track "Final Reckoning" in the game.
BGM_TITLECALL1 to BGM_TITLECALL4:
MIDI renditions of all of the Mission Intro music that is never played, due to the tracks existing as streams in-game.
Unused Graphics
Japanese/European Title Screens
| To do: Proper way to make the Japanese logo appear. |
The US ROM contains two leftover title screens: the final European version, and the then-unreleased Japanese version. In the 2013 DSiWare release, its outline was darkened.
| US ROM | DSiWare |
|---|---|
 |  |
Test Graphic
The US ROM also contains a test graphic located in the /ending/ folder as a single graphic "test.cg". The graphic says "title" in hiragana.
Unused Japanese Mode
The American and European versions of the game contain the complete Japanese version, later used in the 2013 DSiWare release, that is functional but dummied out in the game files. The Japanese script most closely resembles the English script of the European version.
The functionality can be restored by turning your Firmware Language to Japanese and changing the byte of the US ROM at 0xE720F from 05 to E5. While changing this byte does not enable the Japanese title screen, it has an additional effect of restoring German and Italian to the European version's behavior.

Unused Maps
nakazawa53.map
This map appears in the filesystem, but is unreferenced anywhere else by the game. It is a versus or Trial style map.
hori2.map
This is a map from the previous games called "Switchback". It exists in the filesystem but cannot be played in-game normally. Replacing another map with this file causes the game to crash.
TR22.map
This map appears to be an unfinished pre-deployed Trial map.
TR35.map
This map also appears to be an unfinished pre-deployed Trial map.
yasuhara04.map
This map appears to be a Versus map of some variety.
nakazawa53.map loaded in the game.
TR22.map loaded in the game.
TR35.map loaded in the game.
Yasuhara04.map loaded in the game.
Extra Unit Lists
| To do: transfer all the tables. Add the WIP revision unit lists as well. |
Every map with predeployed units has a unit list associated with it that is called on map load or by the in-game scripting engine. Some of these are unused in the filesystem and never loaded.
dispos/cmp01_01
A reinforcement list for the first mission of the Campaign, C1. The one used in the final build (dispos/cmp01_02) only has a Recon and a Tank.

dispos/reinforcement_test
A test unit list used for the reinforcement function. Note the overlapping position of the Rig and the first Infantry - it appears to be testing that two units on the same tile get loaded correctly.
| Unit | Position |
|---|---|
| Army | Player 1 |
| Infantry | 4,6 |
| Infantry | 4,4 |
| Rig | 4,6 |
| Army | Player 2 |

dispos/Beached
Looks like a beach head defence map, with a large number of indirects and meatwalls to deal with Player 2's many landers, mechs and tanks. Belongs to one of the deleted maps in the batch file of the same name.
dispos/BHD
Appears to be a map about dealing with a huge swarm of infantry. Looks like some kind of Trial or Campaign map. Belongs to one of the deleted maps in the batch file of the same name.
dispos/Bigfoot
A map that appears to be some kind of predeployed Trial map or similar. Belongs to one of the deleted maps in the batch file of the same name.
dispos/daisuke_48
Belongs to one of the deleted maps in the batch file of the same name.
dispos/daisuke_52
Belongs to one of the deleted maps in the batch file of the same name.
dispos/daisuke_57, daisuke_58 and daisuke_59
Belongs to one of the deleted maps in the batch file of the same name.
dispos/Ezload
Belongs to one of the deleted maps in the batch file of the same name.
dispos/G-JET and dispos/G_JET
Two copies of a unit list, with an identical name to one of the deleted maps (see the batch script). Judging by the units, the map would appear to be a similar type of map as the map "T17: Coast Assault" but with a focus on aerial units, rather than a navy/land invasion. The only difference between the two files is the filename.

Cleanup Batch Script
Present in the file system is a batch script called unused_map.bat, a standard batch file with commands to delete a huge amount of maps that are supposedly unused. There appear to be a list of test maps and a maplist by various developers who had a category of maps removed.
Filenames systematically seem to refer to either games or individuals within Intelligent Systems.
AGB = Game Boy Advance (Advance Wars)
SFW = Super Famicom Wars
daisuke = Daisuke Nakajima
muramatu = Toshitaka Muramatsu
nakazawa = Kyouko Nakazawa
hayashi = Hiroyuki Hayashi
cmp = Days of Ruin Campaign. cmp00.map was likely a Campaign test map or tutorial map.
The maps with the w2_ and w3_ prefix appear to refer to Advance Wars 2 maps, and Advance Wars: Dual Strike maps respectively, which can be worked out from the remaining maps in the game that conform to that pattern.
