Name the Best of the Homebrew Releases

[Pilot_51]

I'll be hard to keep it down to 5, but here goes. This doesn't include ports, but it does include clones.

DS Organize
AmplituDS (my second and current homebrew addiction)
Warcraft: Tower Defense (my first homebrew addiction)
Meteora
Colors

Bah, I've got more that are just as good, I'll list them anyway.

Blubb 3D
Worms War Online
Dice Soldiers (DiceWars needs to fix online before I consider it better)
Deal or No Deal
World of Sand
Explosive Gas
PuzzleManiak
Ka-Boom
DrugWars
DSVNC

I can stop at 15, but I could probably go beyond 30 for homebrew that I think is very well-made (I have close to 200).

Here's my top 5 favorite ports.

QuakeDS
DS Doom + Chex Quest DS
DScent
Wolfenstein 3D
Sopwith

NitroHax - 0_o

Moonshell - The killer app of DS homebrew.

Lemmings DS - hands-down the best homebrew game for the DS

Wolfenstein 3D DS - the second best homebrew game for the DS - still needs an upgrade to allow commercial version data

Reinmoon - Savegame backups are good.

SNEmulDS - It still needs some optimization, but it's already by far the best SNES emulator on the DS; nothing else even comes close.

NesDS
SnemulDS
Lameboy
SCUMMDS
Moonshell

-DS Allstars

ScummVMDS - I'm really surprised this hasn't been mentioned more. Not only does it let you play all the great Scumm games on your DS, but the code is being worked on and updated all the time by AgentQ.

CrocoDS - Amstrad emulator for the DS, it'd be nice if it was still being worked on, but anything that lets me play Wild Bunch on the bus has to be loved.

DS-Frotz - Okay, this isn't perfect but I love the idea of playing text adventures on the DS.

DSOrganize - Again, it's always being worked on and updated, and it's great. Makes my DS so useful!

Lemmings DS - Fantastic port of a great game onto pretty much an ideal platform for it.

There are more I like, but those are my hands down favourites.

dslinux - best all around app for the ds
FrodoDS - c64 emulator
DSREminiscence - Flashback
MarcaDS - emulator for arcade games
Lemmings DS - great /port

[myuusmeow]

Moonshell - Plays/shows practically everything but normal video formats
Wolf3D DS - Port of Wolf3d!
DSDoom - Port of PrBoom
JenesisDS- Great Genesis emu
World of Sand DS - Falling Sand game for DS

Lameboy because it flawlessly runs my favorite Gameboy Color games.

SNEmulDS because it's a freaking SNES Emulator, what else needs to be said? lol

Moonshell because it opened up Media Playback onto the DS

DSOrganize because well...it just freaking rocks! It's the must have homebrew.
