You can't port VB applications to the NDS, just C/C++ ones. Or you'll just have to rewrite them.

but just in case you ever do get round to porting this i'd suggest trying an old game, i used to play "operation inner space", a game which uses your icons as tokens and you fly around in a space craft collecting them or removing viruses form them while running away from bounty hunetrs and stuff - you have to play it to et why i thought it was the best game ever

That reminds me of an independently developed FPS on PC that turned files and folders into rooms and objects that were sized depending on the size of the file/folder. It also used icons and could be used to manage files, such as a fun way to clean up old files. Unfortunately I forgot the name of it.
