Demakes are not uncommon among homebrewers and late last year we saw a Game Boy fan demake of Disco Elysium. The latest such project is intended for the Nintendo DS and involves a rather popular title: Super Mario Galaxy. This project has been going on for several years; at least since 2017 according to the first video shared by the homebrew developers on their YouTube channel, 'Jesse'. In 2018, they even released a playable demo and yesterday, a new progress update video was shared on the channel, mentioning that the developers are now able to make playable levels for their DS demake:

​

While there are features like sound effects missing, they do mention that what can be seen in the latest video works on real hardware, audio and all. The video description credits "Jelle, Gericom, Stomatol and Ermii" as well as shares a link to a Discord server to keep in touch with updates.

What do you think of this project? Would it entice you to dust off your Nintendo DS and play Super Mario Galaxy on it?

Will this be moved to the 3DS to make things easier?

any new updates on this?

It's more or less put on hold for now, they released a build of what they have so far.

also i saw Super Mario Galaxy 2 ds port too is this true too??

From the FAQ:

Will this be a port of SMG1/2 or will it have new levels?

I am not sure yet. We are porting SMG1/2 levels as frame of reference to test and fine tune our engine. I don't know what the eventual end product will be but it will definitely not be an exact port of SMG1 as a lot of gameplay just doesn't translate well to a DS (excluding the fact that it is impossible to do, realistically speaking).​

We have experience and knowledge on NDS development and we are just not interested in developing for 3DS. To us it is a challenge to make it work on a limited platform.

I'm hella pumped for this. Do they have donations setup anywhere? We should pour support money into this.

Used to work before updating TWiLight Menu++, now it shows a red screen with numbers and letter at the top screen and a white screen at the bottom screen.
Any reply is appreciated.

I must say, that's quite impressive based on the video.

The latest update is supposed to fix support for it. Make sure nds-bootstrap is up to date as well, as the version included in TWLMenu++ is out of date.
If the issue persists, are you on a DSi or 3DS?

DSi

 

[Ahmeteled]

Sorry for replying too soon

 

[RocketRobz]

DSi

Hmm, are you booting TWLMenu++ through Unlaunch/hiya? If so, idk why it's not working for you.

 

[Ahmeteled]

sysNAND (in theory, it does the same job as HiyaCFW)

 

[Ahmeteled]

I'll try forwarding and tell you what'd I get

 

[Ahmeteled]

So forwarding didn't work but I used nightly bootstrap to get it working
Sorry for the late reply
I was on a heavy schedule with my friends
