Homebrew Is DS homebrew dead?

[TyDye]

these days no one is making homebrew and/or rom hacks for the ds so is the ds homebrew/rom hacking done/dead?

 

[Dr.Hacknik]

Kinda, but not really. I still do, but it's nothing that I release. The DS is old, and many homebrewers have moved to the 3DS scene. Sorry to disapoint.

Homebrew is never dead, there's still projects for all kinds of "dead systems." It's just not in high demand anymore, so projects have time to take longer.

No, it's not dead in my opinion. A small group of people (like me) still love the ds, because it's more of a challange to develop for it than it is with modern consoles, because it still has a 2d engine and simple sound channels, and because it's so easy to do low level coding for it (in comparison with the 3ds and it's pica gpu and dsp for example).

SnemulDS is still getting updates.

Homebrew hacks are still being actively developed, just look for Errmii Kart DS and SKJmin Super Mario Bros 3 ver 4.0 are yet to be released.

Hacks != Homebrew

He reffered to both in his post. My point still stands. The only point in coding for the older DS now is to learn simpler programming and test it out.

If you ever get GBARunner2 to work, I will virtually hug you my friend. Keep at it! Praying for that not-so-long release!

Well, GBARunner2 already works very well with quite a lot of games, and the graphics and sound are better than gbaemu4ds. The SD access speed is slower, but I'm working on that. You can try it for yourself by downloading the git repo, following the instructions and building it.

Well, no and yes. It's dead if you just look at the forums but people are still updating there homebrew and making there homebrew and stuff.

 

[smealum]

yes

 

[zoogie]

yes

Well, it's official then.

 

[hobbledehoy899]

yes

mmm whatcha smea-ayy, ohh

 

[YugamiSekai]

yes

It didn't have to be this way *grabs flamethrower* it had to be smea

The Homebrew in DS used Lua as one of the main programming language.
As my knowledge goes, Lua is a bit restrictive, besides, the Nintendo DS has many limitations.
I pressume that's why the Scene in DS stopped developing.
Although... the DS Scene has MANY applications, that makes the DS one of the best gadgets out there.

I'm not sure if the DS can handle C... but it should be interesting.

You would not believe me. But many of ds homebrew written in c.
C is low-level language

Wha?? All the tutorials I've read about DS programming uses Lua.
Didn't knew it could handle C.

Looks like smealum's message make this forum popular again

Look at tutorials section. Homebrew guide is pinned, as far as I remember
