Homebrew n64 games on ds?

[Kizmatti]

Well... DS at this time doesn't run either N64 or PS1 games at all. There's not even a proof of concept emulation attempt to my knowledge.




The DS will never run N64 or PS1 games.


As of right now PSP has an N64 emulator that can barely play N64 games at a playable framerate.
This will and has gotten better over the last few months for PSP thou.

So you can't play GBA and N64 and everything newer than that, but what can you emulate on the DS?

Probably could lmfao.

And nice bump.

N64 is 93mhzs while a ds is only 67mhz, its just not powerful enough not to mention on zelda majoras mask, you had to install that ram pack into your N64 to play it for those old enough to remember.

true... but if its a commercial port that wouldn't matter... Super Mario and diddy kong couldn't run through ds emu in a million years...

But you don't expect Nintendo to port every N64 game ever released to the DS, do you?

 

[techforumz]

64 on DS is not entirely fantasy, but for all practical purposes, it is fantasy. It is possible to run it at 2/3 speed, if you can somehow port it from that old substandard 100MHz CPU to the 67MHz ARM CPU. same RAM, same carts, but very different hardware otherwise. Not really possible. So in laymens terms, NOPE, not possible.

Ever heard of ds2win

I wish they would release a new version of Paper Mario, in the style of the older Paper Marios. I loved those games.

 

[MG4M3R]

Just one thing...

Super Smash Bros. DS > All

 

[azotyp]

Super Smash Bros. DS = nothing, because they will never made one (eaven creator of brawl denied about ds version).

 

[NostalgicMillennial]

you dont know HOW many times i've hea rd leechers and N00bs on shout boxes and Forums SAY this type of crap! and then they get mad cause it won't work! XD

if the PSP can hardly emulate N64 Games...and has BETTER graphics than the DS!?....then the DS surely can't do it

(waiting for Daedalus R14

)

lol - some idiot on another forum wanted to put Halo Xbox rom on their DS!!

 

[jimyyd]

I saw video of n64 on ds but it was fake becuase it was a movie file that idoit

 

[podunk1269]

there are not enought buttons for it. it would be a pain in the ass like the the ps1 emu on iphone

 

[Frederica Bernkastel]

Heres an idea, instead of critisising n00bs why dont you think for a moment.
Sure it is impossible to emulate anything with more than the DS's specifications.
But look at Mario 64 DS, now if nintendo won't make another N64 port, someone make a homebrew of it.
I saw someone take 7 months to make a rip of every sprite, resorce and line of code off Majora's Mask.
And put it onto a PS1 in the form of a Rom, now if someone were to do the same with SM64DS as a rom-base...

 

[!!??]

Would it be possible for somebody with programming knowledge to port the games to the ds so they run as ds games rather than using an emulator? IF so that means you could just reprogram the games for the ds and play it as you would a home brew game right? If somebody had enough time I could see this happening. You wouldn't have to worry about the power used by the emulator, and the n64/ds are basically the same spec wise.


Edit:Nvm I was already bet to posting it. I should have read the post before me. Sorry.

thats like saying the PSP and PS2 are the same spec wise
PSP has a stronger processor @ 34mhz higher, but will never be able to emulate the PS2 no in any way shape or form
