The Hive (http://www.emuboards.com/invision/index.php?showtopic=23917) has released a early beta of his Spectrum Emulator for the Nintendo DS, heres what he says:
"Thought that I'd start a thread to show my progress on DSpec.
Incase you were wondering why the framerate seems so high, it's because I've purposely stalled DSpec, cos DSEmu crashes after a few cycles.
The bottom screen (touch keyboard) isn't being displayed for whatever reason - I don't think this is my code, pretty sure it's DSEmu.
As I mentioned earlier (in another thread) my Flash Cart has been lent out so I'm without the ability to test on hardware at the moment, so for now I'm stuck with emulators. This is particularly frustrating 'cos they ain't that good yet - I'm desperate for my hardware back now! Should be back this weekend, so I'll get to test progress on hardware at that point. Might even release a demo ROM if I can get things working.
Lots and lots left to do, including sound, confguration, TAP/TZX/Z80 support, multi rom support, etc, etc... like I said...lots to do."
and also this
"Early Spectrum emulator for the Nintendo DS
Here's an early test binary that I had lying around from a few weeks back.
It's nothing fancy, just a single ROM, no sound, no menus, etc, etc.
Testers will be required in a week or two I expect.
BTW, this is emulating the full 128K memory model, even though the ROM is just 48K.
I might have another project to preview this weekend also. Maybe."
