Today, Rydian has released WoodEVERYTHING. This revolutionary port of Wood brings the ability to play DS games to almost any device imaginable. Originally started as a project for the PC, WoodEVERYTHING has panned out to multiple devices, both portable and stationary.

Originally I just wanted to port Wood to my PC so I could play games faster than No$GBA 2.9 could play them, so I did that. It took a few weeks, since No$GBA 2.9 is already so fast, but thankfully Raulpica lent me a hand with some of the functions!

Then I realized I wouldn't be able to play Barbie's Adventure Horse Racing on the toilet! So I had to port it to something portable... I chose Android since I happened to have the SDK installed. This was a bit of a chore, since as we know Android runs on Java 1:1, has no hardware acceleration, Java is the slowest language out there, and the pixie gnomes that power Android devices don't like being overworked. I powered through it though, and the first portable port was done!

While tapping out how to ride a horse on the toilet fulfilled one of my lifelong ambitions, the lack of hardware controls became an obvious problem. So I decided to port it to the PSP. I figured since the PSP is 5,000 times faster than the DS, I shouldn't have to worry about that Michael Jackson AP in the latest Pokemon X ROM release.

Once I had that port running with 9x fast-forward speed possible, I realized I didn't give anything to those poor console owners! Not actually having any consoles (#pcmasterrace) I figured I might as well port it to the one device console owners and I have in common: TV. The control mappings were a little weird, and I had to program in all 50,000,000 control codes for the various remotes, but hopefully games are playable if you hold your remote sideways like with the Wii.

At this point I realized my grave mistake: Nothing I ported it to was actually pocket-sized! So since the only thing I have that will fit in a watch pocket is my MP3 player, here's a picture of the port to the Sansa Fuze V2. With Rockbox's coding magic, you can even play your own MP3s on top of the game!

Holy crap.. Rydian, you're one awesome dude.





EDIT: LOL, I JUST REALIZED IT'S A JOKE, FROM THE LINK.
But it's quite obvious seeing the same pictures. The same ROM selected

In all seriousness though, rockbox really is magic. I got blown away when it made GB games playable at great speeds on a sansa clip plus, an MP3 player with a much lower resolution than a GB and real monochrome screen.

After that discovery DS on a more capable MP3 player doesn't seem so far fetched haha.

I would LOVE to see this ported to the GB Micro. I want to play Civ Rev or TWEWY on a postage stamp - sized screen.

It would be nice to play Advance Wars Dual Strike on the same handheld that barely holds the first US release of Advance Wars requiring a single screen.
