The grey are is MAME. What kind of mame roms can be emulated?
I've seen some questions asked about certain emu's for the PSP and DS, silly ones, but good ones asked due to lack of knowledge. so, I'm making this thread, to show new people what will not run on a DS, and give some general pointers.
WHAT WILL NOT RUN OR BE BOTHERED WITH:
Sony Playstation
Sega Saturn
Nintendo 64
and anything newer
GENERAL EMULATION POINTERS:
To emulate a game system, the system to run the emulator on must be 7 times as powerful(as I've heard) so, a DS with it's 67(?)MHz processor will NOT run a N64 emulator, as the N64 has a 97mhz processor. same goes for Playstation on DS, with lesser specs.
So, in recap:
if a game system is close to as powerful as the system to have an emulator, that system cannot be emulated.
Now, if anyone asks for a N64 emulator, you have exposed yourself to the line of dissing fire. The info is RIGHT HERE(well, up there ^) and there's no excuse not to have it.

This needs to be stickied, basically anything past the SNES / SEGA Era of consoles will never work on the ds. With the exception of mame.
well, no one knows as no mame emus have been made. but i can guarantee pac man will run!
oooohhhh! MAME on the DS! I hadn't thought of that one. NBA jam in my pocket "IS IT THE SHOES???!??"
Shame I have no talent to contribute to getting a MAME emu together for the DS...
Stickied for relevance.
Now people MIGHT not post stupid "Omfg lawl n64 emu pl0x lol" threads.

You owe me for the sticky, hehe.
