Im just thinking that it would be very awkward to try to steer the pointer on the bottom while playing the buttons and looking at the top at the same time, even if this kind of thing is possible(or not).

Well....laizie gamer it wont be as fun as the DS console but the fact that it could run it would be a success!!!!!!!!!..
Hey obelisk?.....Why thechnicaly no?
Iam not full but from my little knowlegde about video game programing and coding Dreamcast can hold the DS power.But if you mean the Dc memory.........
Then...ok

i dont know much about the hardware capabilities of the dreamcast, but it would be very cool if someone could do that, but i AM still saying that it would be awkward to play

It's just plain impossible due to the dc being way to weak. Now I don't know the technical information of either the DC or the DS, but the only way a weak console would ever be able to emulate such a strong system as the DS it would have to be INCREDIBLY similar hardware, and extremely good coding taking advantage of the similarities. But now it's just WAY too weak, and I seriously doubt the hardware is similar(eventhough I never believed we'd ever see a n64 emulated on the psp, but apparently they had similarities in the hardware(I think psmonkey said)). But the n64 is much weaker than the psp, whereas the DC may actually be weaker than a DS(but I'm not at all sure about that).

Where is quzar when you need him?

The DS is similar in power to the N64, which couldn't be emulated on DC because the DCs RAM wasnt big enough for 64 roms, and the lack of power in the DC meant it wouldnt run at any playable frame rate anyway.

The DC is more powerful than the DS.

If Nintendo 64 emulation were successful on the DC, maybe some DS demos could run.

Hmmmm i am wondering that if some of the n64 games can run in the DC so why not the DS?
I was sure tha the Dc is more powerfull than the DS.......The biggest disadvantage for the DC

I was sure tha the Dc is more powerfull than the DS.......The biggest disadvantage for the DC about emoulation is its RAM.Right?

The DC is very powerful, yet a DS is probably twice as strong as a N64 (remember: it has two seperated screens that show graphics that each seem to be 100% indepentently rendered !).

Still, probably the DC could emulate a DS, pretty slow but it might be possible. However, what's the point ? Why not buying a DS ?

Hmmm intersting....Yes....
Well its exciting to play DS holding the Dreamcast controler
Besides here its an emoulation foroum....
lollll

It might be possible to emulate DS on a DC, but only some basic functions perhaps. There's a huge difference between an emulator being made to show it is technically possible to run other system's software on a DC, and making an emulator to play other system's games in an enjoyable way. The latter will be impossible in this case.
