Psx Ds

[King DS]

Whats the chance of that happening? ive come up with ideas how i might...

PlayStation-
All the buttons are the same, L2 + R2 can be pressed by touching the left and right side of the screen. might be tricky at first but worth a look into.

Atari Jag-
This is Simple, ABY can be ABC and the keypad can be placed on the touch screen, you just gota learn to hold the stylus between your fingures while playing for when you need to do something on the touch screen.

Zodiac-
Well thats just plain simple, it has a touch screen, 4 face buttons and shoulder buttons (I think) so that wont be to hard will it?

NGAGE-
thats simple aswell. so simple infact i wont explain, except that you can spread the picture over both screens to make up for the crappy screen.

Tapwave-
i dunno what the buttons are but im sure its gona be like the Zodiac

so what do you think? possible? i recon at least the jag can be.. Uber Easy.. but i dont know what it involves. the others are pretty basic aswell. except the whole CD thing with the PS. but im sure that can be sorted with some kinda Rom ripping software using the PS disks and converting them in some DS converter program. and if you need to press both L2+R2 then there would be a middle button.

So whats the Thoughts?

How About a PSP Thing? im sure thers one way around the meaninglessly high graphics, got that same buttons hasnt it? it would probly make more PSP fanboys buy DS'S, so they can play PSP games without the Battery Dieing after 2 Mins.

also what about things like the Satern? no chance in a DC one. anyone? does anyone know what the chances are of any of the about happening?

if not then tell me how i can the whole Free Dev kit like they got on DS Linux and ill TRY and do it myself, i already know i probly can do the Zodiac and Tapwave.

-UPDATE!!!-

Zodiac and Tapwave are the Samething!!!
its Zodiac.. made by Tapwave... i sure hope im right

Gizmondo? what about that? could be done, DS Linux is being made, why not some kinda GizmonDS or something, even though it has a crap games lineup, but then again so has the PSP but i still recon it should be ported, only reason i say that is coz Infected, it looks crap but its a zombie game so IM IN!!!

[Cap'n 1time]

are you asking if some of these systems could be emulated on DS?
PSX- not a chance
Jaguar- Too complexed... not a chance
Zodiac- no emulator exists.. but judging by the specs not a chance
Ngage- not a chance
tapwave- no emulator? not a chance gudging by specs.

Sorry to dissapoint you but...The psx was hardly a powerhouse of a machine, I can remember emulating it on an OLD pc that was bought in 1998, I know it might not be a possibility to emulate it just yet, but the DS has enough monkeys under the hood to run an old ps1 VERY VERY easily

Indeed. In fact, aren't they porting Resident Evil 1 onto the DS?

But the main reason that a PSx would be hard to port is not the graphics, but the code.

[scrabbus]

Very true, the code for psx is notoriously difficult to use, many developers (capcom et al) always complained that it cost a hell of a lot of man hours to achieve anything on either Sony machines.

hmmm... to much work for the PSX then... what about the others, surely the Jag can be done? and the zodiac, it had duke nukem on it, can we just port that? and why not N-Gage? its no way more powerfull, it must be possible

[DefaultGen]

The Zodiac has a much higher screen res than the DS which would make some things look awkward. And the Zodiac has to be more powerful than the DS... Plus most of my favorite games I play on my Zod are ports why not just port them to DS (zQuake )

[King DS]

that would be sweet, and probly run better if you use the metriod controls. im just preying that someone does a Duke nukem 3D port, with Build and User Map Support... that would be sweet
