N64 Emulator???

[Mazza]

It is definately a video, why do you think he never touches or shows the bottom screen? because it would show moonshell. Anyone here could do that on their DS

how about a N64 emu for the DS that is toned down a bit, graphic wise, sound wise etc...
Like changing textures. Would be cool to see.

It would require all games to be modified for it to work like that.

no it wouldnt project64 the newest version you have to pay for can do that. It changes the textures to a lower res.

why would anyone want a psp anyway?

Loads of my mates all had one and ended up trading it in for a DS!!!

PSP kills the DS in terms of homebrew power [and now price if you shop on ebay]... but 95% of the games for the PSP are either horrible or mediocre, while the DS has a solid lineup for games. Well anyways...

DS - Very solid game lineup, great for making innovative homebrew games, also does everything GBA... but not so great for emulation of older consoles. Very durable system.

PSP - Great for taking all of your retro classics with you and has plenty of great, but not innovative, homebrew games. Has a few killer apps and is pretty, but not at all durable.

Your friends probably weren't into homebrew and emulation... if they were they'd probably pefer the PSP. You can probably tell I've owned a PSP much longer than a DS.

Good for you. But the DS is quickly becoming better for Retro Classics. Even sharing it with GBA.

I think the DS could... If it had 64 mb of RAM instead of 4 mb of RAM maybe... MAYBE! the graphics don't matter: they would be scaled down... I asked my dad (computer wiz :>) and he said it could emulate n64 if it had enough RAM as the n64 (64 mb?). If you mod your ds yeah, or if they make a supercard with twice as much RAM. The only limitation would be the buttons. The ds needs three more buttons IF x and y serve as two C buttons. Once again, MAYBE

Was that really worth a 15-month bump?

Why cant someone just TRY to run some "homebrewed" code for the n64 on the nds?

Even the simpliest code? And then get more and more advanced to check "how much of the n64 the nds can emulate"
:thumbup:

A Pure ram memory in the gba slot? - Maybe the solution.

Running an Nintendo 64 on a DS is a pipe dream because of the RAM.

N64 does have 4MB / 8MB of RAM however, its more or less going to need double the amount of that because the DS has its own OS in memory, you have to put the emulator stuff into memory and would have to be optimised for the GFX chip, touch screen, CPU and somehow etc.

Its hardly worth the effort if you ask me.
