Just posting this to let everyone know that it works on the Supercard DS One. Set the save file manually to 2M

is it graphically playable and how is the gameplay... better than pc?
Gameplay ISN'T better than any of the PC SimCity games. They were all really fun. SimCity DS has some of the right ideas, but the clunky and terrible interface makes it crap and not fun to play. I'll just stick with SimCity 3000, the game this was based on. That was much better.

It can't be so terrible if it doesn't have the constant slowdowns present in the GBA release. That was unplayable after the first few houses and power lines.

i'd rather play the old simcity for pocketpcs - it's a perfect pc 1:1 port

wow, how could they screw up sim city that much? I mean, the simcity series is brilliant itself but the interface and controls are pretty basic... so how could they screw it this much on the ds? It's the game i was the most excited about and it disapointed me like nothing else ever did... I'm sad right now, i might start wearing all black and let my hair grow

The game slows down pretty badly when time is set to "fast" (between an extremely granular set of time settings including both fast and slow.) Before your city is even one quarter built, it becomes difficult to move around the landscape and can notice that the news ticker comes to almost a complete standstill.

That's another thing that bugs the hell out of me actually, the news ticker move far too slowly.
