Opensource
A project has emerged to port nesDS to an opensource development kit. Dwedit (PocketNES source maintainer) started a project over 2 years ago to port PocketNES from the GBA side to the DS side. The currently available revision of nesDS was described as being a port of PocketNES 9.96. Dwedits project (if completed) would bring a much more optimized NES EMU to the DS Homebrew scene. However, Dwedit has reported that real life has pushed back the project and no new information has been released for some time.
The code being ported as part of the opensource project is described as being the last official sources from Loopy, meaning this would port an out of date version of PocketNES. However, a port that compiles under freely traded NDS Homebrew development kits means that updates might come much more quickly and be easier to implement -- if Homebrew developers take notice.
