Heres the first release of what looks to be a very good emulator project for the Nintendo DS:

News/release from Pate

Hi all!

For the last 4 months I have been working on an x86 emulator for NDS.
Now finally I have something to show for my efforts, so I decided to
announce this project, and release a technical demonstration.

DSx86 currently emulates 80286 processor, MCGA 320x200 screen and SoundBlaster audio.

You can find the demo at http://dsx86.patrickaalto.com/

The demo has my old DOS game LineWars II bundled with the emulator core. The emulator runs the game between 5 and 15 fps, with rare peaks up to 30 fps, depending on the amount of ships alive and visible on the screen.

I have also a blog/diary on my DSx86 web pages that gives some background about the emulator in case you are interested.

Thanks for reading!

Wow, very cool.

I am incredibly interested, it is a shame Civilization II isn't DOS based (Despite being 16-bit), it's system requirements are so low it'd probably run like a charm on the DS (Assuming you don't let the FMV's play of course).
