Console and handheld lacks the computation power to natively render at HD while in emulation. Even PS1/2 games on PS3 were rendered at 240p/480i then stretched to 720p.hmm if they can make a hd emulator for DS games, whats stopping nintendo from releasing an update that makes DS/DSi games hd on 3DS? & wii u when ds vc is available?
Someone care to show me what Solatorobo looks like with x4? I remember that the game was already quite beautiful for the DS, and I wonder how it would look with that.
I can almost quarantee they just upscale regular resolution. I don't remember single system doing anything to games internal resolution ever, it's even rare that they even give any options to filters! Sonys backwards compatibility/old releases are best but still games run with native resolution.

If you know Nintendo you would know that it is the only company that took zero tolerance stance against emulators. Nintendo firmly believes that any emulation, regardless of if you own the game or not, is considered piracy and therefore illegal.edit: Wild idea, probably stupid, but could the creators of the emulator give it to Nintendo for free so they could use it?
Is there any legal problems there?
I doubt Nintendo are interested, but it's just an idea.
While virtual console is an emulator, it's an emulator that you pay Nintendo to use. Nintendo is against using emulators to play their game for free, hence why they go to such extent to make games not work.If you know Nintendo you would know that it is the only company that took zero tolerance stance against emulators.

Pretty ironic when you considered that Virtual Console runs on emulation (except GBA VC on 3DS).
This goes way offtopic but what the hell:Well yeah systems don't render older games in higher resolution as standard, but there are HD Remakes.
With the PS2 ones the original files were needed and they were simply re-built through the PS3 dev kit instead of the PS2 kit. The problem with that was some companies didn't have all the original source files, and other companies have disbanded since they made the games.
Though there still have been dozens of PS2 games remastered in this way.
I don't expect Nintendo to remaster them since Nintendo barely do anything when it comes to giving us content.
Plus I imagine it would be too costly for them to get DS games in HD.

Can someone snap a few screenshots from The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road? Probably the most impressive game I've seen on the DS, should look outstanding when upscaled.
(X3) The backgrounds are 2D so there's not that much of an improvement (even though there still is), but the character models, especially during battles, are gorgeous.
I tried also Blue Dragon Awakened Shadow and it was mindblowing. Though the HUD glitches behind the 3D model -_-
Thanks! It does look outstanding.http://gbatemp.net/threads/hi-resolution-ds-emulation.364549/page-3#post-4969373
