You cannot port a game without the sourcecodes. Because of that the only way to play these games would be through emulation and that's not possible with the DS's hardware.

I was just saying because he/she did not specify if he meant the developers themselver(which has already been done before and he/she might not have noticed) or by oneself.

So many times I've seen these kinds of threads.... IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN, PEOPLE!

As much as I hate to say it, the ds is far to weak. SM64 was a port, which means it was modified so that it will work with the ds's hardware.

Why can't somebody make a converter where you can change the vital controlls for the n64: such as Analog-pad, a-to-a, b-b, y-y, x-x, L-L, R-R, start-start, and Z-select (just drop the pad)? What we need is a compressor and a controll converter.
