Emulation NesterDS+ source code?

[Nikokaro]

 Would anyone know where to find the source code for this Famicom emulator, which is actually better than NesDS given its compatibility with more than 120 mappers, including those of obscure chinese and pirated titles.

The goal would be to port it to DSi (SD-slot and TWL++) to take advantage of the more powerful processor and the more ram available, thus obviating its known problems of slow emulation and creaky sound. It will probably, if available, be found on some obscure old japanese site.
Once obtained, to @RocketRobz (or whoever else would like to try his hand at it) the arduous but rewarding task of adapting it to our dear DSi, to our joy and satisfaction.

It's linked on the GameBrew page: https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/dshomebrew/nesterds.7z

I understand it's blocked in your country, have you tried a VPN or something? Or the way I do it when I run into such issues, throw it into https://web.archive.org/ and add any links you access that aren't in the archive yet... At a snail's pace

Edit: My bad, it's NesterDS+ that he's looking for.

Could you kindly download it and post it here as an attachment, if it is not too much trouble? It's not copyrighted material anyway, or am I wrong?
Thanks.

Country censorship sucks

Even this is inaccessible to me. And then I was asking about NesterDS+, newer, more complete, with more nes mappers supported, with sound and ability to save.

What is inaccessible? The link?

Yes.

Yes.

Have you tried using a free VPN browser extension to get around it, perhaps Urban VPN.

Only heard of. Never used. I am clumsy in these things. Could you please download it and attach it below?: remember NesterDS+, not NesterDS.

Okay, my bad.

Unfortunately, I don't seem to find it anywhere. The only source code I can find is for the original NesterDS, which I just posted.

The original site doesn't seem to have any links to the source either.

In archive.org placing the year 2016, if it is possible to download the source code. I am sorry for my bad english.

The source code is not available there.

It seems to not be public at all, which means we only have either the original source code or NesDS to improve upon.

Nope, sorry. Downloaded every single release.

this ^^

Since NesterDS+ is also derived from the source code of NesterDS although with various additional modifications, would it not be possible, by comparing the two, to trace their differences and add them to the only available source code? I don't know if I have explained myself well since I am ignorant of the subject.

As far as I remember NesterDS+ sources were never publicly available, unfortunately.

Honestly, I wouldn't fret over this, despite the improvements done to the code, it was running at a barely playable rate for most games, and for the games that did run well enough, the framerate was pretty poor, skipping nearly 3 frames just to keep up with full speed is not very enjoyable to use.

NESDS is by far the better emulator, and actually works quite well for a large amount of games, and most importantly, runs nearly everything at fullspeed, or near fullspeed for the case of few titles that required the Software renderer to display graphics correctly, which came with the cost of slowdowns and frameskipping to compensate the heavier CPU usage.

Too bad!

The aim would be to port it to DSi to use the better processor and RAM than the DS Phat/Lite, greatly improving its performance. Then the compatible mappers are many more.

Someone should update it by adding all the nes mappers that are not working now.
