SNES ON DS?!?!?!

[tushantin]

Dunno if this is the appropriate subforum for this sort, but hopefully it is. D= I've just found this article. It seems both the SNES emulator and rom work well with DS + Supercat + Flashcard. This means that fan-based Rom hacks would also work in NintendoDS! Sadly I don't own a DS myself thus I haven't tried it. This beats PSP anyday!

I remember trying to get mother 2 to run on DS using a snes emulator, it worked but the speed was too slow to be actualy playable (especialy since the music was just unbearable due to the slowdowns). Also, it's worth noting that it will clamp part of the image as the snes resolution is slightly larger than the DS. It's not an issue on some games, but can be really annoying on others.

I've tried running SNES games on my DS, but I had layering issues. Maybe I just had an outdated version of the emulator though, I dunno. Another problem - a much more major one at that - is that it froze in the middle of an SNES game and when I rebooted my DS, my flashcard had been wiped. I'm not sure if it was because of the SNES emulator though. It could have just happened randomly. Luckily, I was able to retrieve all of the save files that I actually care about. ^^;

Tried it- there is a lot of graphical and sound glitches

Before CTDS was announced, I was seriously considering doing this to play CT on my DS. Good thing I didn't. Yeah, it sounds like it doesn't really work all too well... Now, how To put Mother 3 onto a flashcart is the question...

...

So it doesn't work after all.  Sheesh, I was considering of buying NDS instead of an iPhone once I have enough money. But guess I shouldn't, after I wasted good money on Genius MousePen instead of Wacom and it's all good for nothin...

Back to the topic, is there specific amount of RAM required to run ZSNES emulator on DS? I suppose we could always fix the sound and resolution problem on the emulator itself? As for the Flashcard being wiped, I dunno, since I've never tried it myself. ^^"

Wait what? It doesn't work for you guys, I don't have a flash card but my friend does and SNES emulation works fine for him, I've played it as well. I do remember some sound glitches occasionally, I am not sure if he still has the problem. I'll ask him.

My friend Parker has a PSP and is able to run anything older than N64 and PlayStation on it via emulation. But... I think you could do something similar with the DS.

I used SNEmulDS, which is specifically made to run on the DS. I don't think something like ZSNES would work.

I have my own flashcard now, but a while ago, I borrowed my friends, then tried every possible DS-SNES Emulator.

There was one that took the nes rom and compiled it into itself, making a new nds rom, there was one that pulled in the rom while being run, another that used a menu system to pull multiple roms in folders, etc...

I had great success with other SNES games. I had no problem with anything... but chrono trigger... it seems that none of them can emulate the physical cartridges that the game had....

I wanna get CTDS, but I havent had the time to go out and get it... Nor do I want to pirate something that I would gladly pay for.


Edit: I did get it to work-ish on one emulator, but the sound didn't work, and every sprite was messed up a little, especially background layer sprites.

I also used it ....but chrono trigger was sorta glitchy as was super mario rpg xD

PSP's CPU is much more powerful than DS's, maybe.

I play SNES on a GP32.... yes I know it's extremely old.
