Vote for the next DS homebrew/port!

**DimensionT** · July 21st, 2006, 00:53

Bitblt over at SCDev.org recently had the idea of starting a poll on what open-source games we would like to see ported to the Nintendo DS. I thought this was a great idea that deserved to be spread through the community (as it can give coders new ideas and insight on what the players want, and the players great new games to play

).

So, what do you guys think would be the next best open-source port for the DS? Post your ideas and links here!

Remember, the touch screen can add some neat features to some games!

Here's a list of what was been suggested so far (thanks to everyone at SCDev that already contributed to the list!):

I think any mmorpg for DS would be a succes.

So my votes are:

1. Stendhal
2. Abuse
3. Shadow Warrior

cannon fodder, abuse is cool but wouldnt really make much use of the touchpad

**h0t1ce** · July 21st, 2006, 02:40

Battle for Wesnoth is my top pick

**LordZero** · July 21st, 2006, 04:32

I love Kenta Cho shooters,and a ds version of Gunroar would be awesome. and i have played Abuse and Shadow Warrior too, some time ago,and i loved the games.

(sorry for my english)

I'm pretty sure abuse uses the mouse for aiming. You could touch the screen in the direction you want to shoot and use L/R to fire.

Are you sure Cannon Fodder is open source? I couldn't find any info on the source code.

Lemmings

Without a doubt THE most necessary port

**Junixx** · July 21st, 2006, 06:35

out of those choices, id say decent, but the one game i would love to see a port of is Transport Tycoon

If you want to vote for something not on the list, post a link to where you can get the source and I'll add it.

Also, please try to make it obvious what you're voting for. I have to keep track of results myself
