you would need to make an emulator, whitch would no doubt be too slow, and I have been coding in BASIC for 2 years now, and I struggle with Some graphical apps, so an emulator is probably out of the question, the best way is to jus do a DS port of the game, i.e. dont write a way of running I-Pod touch/I phone games, just make a hombrew clone. But anyway you will need devkit arm and libnds, and optionally palib. I alos recommend Shaun tailors libfatDragon, because it works realy well for renameing, cutting pasting deleteing etc.

DevkitArm:

P.S. Dont get put off by me, its good you want to get into developing for the DS, although programming experience and/or a very logical mind are recommended.

thanks is theyre any chance i coem to you if i need any help ?

Well I cant get DevkitArm to work on my computer (I think its my Windows 7 beta install), and I am not a C/C++ Programmer, but I will try to help. (I can write basic apps in C/C++, but only windows/cygwin/linux console programs, I am better suited to BASIC and my own littile language I wrote called FAIL3)

I am good for finding thing on the net tho.
