Disclaimer: This is my Claude AI slop. There are many like it but this one is mine.
This is a static recompilation of the arcade game Joust to the Nintendo DS. This is one of my favorite games, and there is no ideal way to play it on the DS. The port to the GBA is poor. GBC emulation is probably the best bet with the 7800 port being respectable.
This originally started as an attempt at an emulator. It ran fine but required a DSi CPU and experienced slowdown in later stages. This is a second attempt from the synamaxmusic reworked source code. It plays at full speed in both DS and DSi mode. This has been tested exclusively on hardware (DSi with TWiLight Menu++).

The Mame (Joust Green) roms are required to be unzipped in /roms/joust. It will not boot without them. No infringement is intended.
I've done about 100 iterations of this played exclusively on real hardware. I know AI can be obnoxious. I am a Joust enthusiast who has played the game many times on real hardware. I am very familiar with how it should play and feel. If you encounter any issues let me know and I'll take a look.
Features:
Full screen scaling to fit the DS resolution
Fonts are reworked for readability as well
High scoring and user preferences saved to SD
Fun stuff:
Replaceable background images stored in /roms/joust similar to the Xbox 360 port
Mutable public domain chiptune music from the composer Drozerix. These are also replaceable with .mod/.xm files
An infinite lives toggle for those newer to the game. This disables high scoring
Rapid-fire flapping to save your mashing finger
Swappable color palettes for our hero
