Hacking How do you create a Homebrew?

[NoOneDies]

Hi, I'm pretty much insterested in being a future game developer.

I'd like to try it though, so I'd like to know what's one of the best devkits used to create DS games, and also if you know any guide I must follow before attempting DS homebrew.

Thanks.

You should know C/C++ and a bit of ASM. If you want to start out quickly then check PALib. The code is messy but it will work. If you want to understand the hardware behind the NDS then check out NDSLib.

You will need the NDS Development Kit, which is called devkitPro.

Most developers recommend that you read the no-cash gbatek docs to better understand the hardware and how it works.

If you want to take the easy route you can try DS Game Maker. You can also create Homebrew that runs in Micro LUA DS, which has its own scripting language.

Just google these terms and check for tutorials, help, guides, etc.
