18<H2>Arguments</H2>
19<P>None.</P>
20<H2>Return Values</H2>
21<P>Returns the maker code for an existing AGB Game Pak if it matches the one obtained when the <a href="CTRDG_Init.html"><CODE>CTRDG_Init</CODE></a> function was called.<br><br>Otherwise returns <code>FALSE</code>. Also, always returns <code>FALSE</code> after the Game Pak has been removed once.</P>
22<H2>Description</H2>
23<P>Returns the AGB Game Pak's maker code.</P>
24<P>However, if there is no AGB Game Pak or the maker code does not match the code retrieved by the <a href="CTRDG_Init.html"><CODE>CTRDG_Init</CODE></a> function, <CODE>FALSE</CODE> is returned.<br><br>This function can be called when the cartridge bus is locked with the <a href="../os/spinLock/OS_LockCartridge.html"><CODE>OS_LockCartridge</CODE></a> function. However, while the bus is locked, the ARM7 does not detect removal automatically, so call the <A href="CTRDG_IsExisting.html"><CODE>CTRDG_IsExisting</CODE></A> function at regular intervals, such as each game frame, during which the player cannot perform a re-insert operation. (This function internally calls the <A href="CTRDG_IsExisting.html"><CODE>CTRDG_IsExisting</CODE></A> function.)

26<H2>Note</H2>
27<P><font color="#800000">If the maker code obtained when the <a href="CTRDG_Init.html"><CODE>CTRDG_Init</CODE></a> function was called matches the one obtained again in this function, that value will be returned.<br><br>Accordingly, note that Game Paks enabled after the <a href="CTRDG_Init.html"><CODE>CTRDG_Init</CODE></a> function is called will not be recognized.</font><br><br>(For details, see the description of the <a href="CTRDG_Init.html"><CODE>CTRDG_Init</CODE></a> function.)
