Homebrew MicroPython for Nintendo DS

[W3SLAV]

A minimal port of MicroPython to the Nintendo DS that is a bit buggy, but functional. It currently resides in my fork of MicroPython under the nds branch in the folder named nds (under the ports directory), but may be moved to an actual repo later. Please remember that this is a work in progress and some things may not work.

What is the goal of using Python on the Nintendo DS? Any advantages that can be done to modify the system?

Just for fun really, hopefully I can get time to make it a bit more useful as I have plans to use it for a project, but it doesn't have a super specific use currently. I should be able to write a library or some bindings so it can use hardware specific functions if I can find the time. The only real reason I spent the time to make was because it was faster than modifying DS python for what I wanted to to with it, and it has the added bonus of being modern.
