The DS hardware is actually superior to the N64. Although it can't produce as good gfx as playstation 2, it is still superior to the N64. I still think they'll have trouble emulating framebuffer effects as they do for the n64.
It would be cool to see the NDS emulated, but I wouldn't want it for playing on the PC
The whole reason of owning a handheld is to play it anywhere, anytime

I'm kinda lazy. I prefer playing at home on the big screen tv. While traveling, I cant really hold still my GBASP. Playing at home is much more relaxing and tranquil.

FOR GOD'S SAKE WHY???
It's about as far as you can get from a PC. Why owuld you want to emulate a DS? The whole point of the portable gaming system is just that. It's portable. And not in the coding sense either
Granted it would be a nice technical achievement and a feather in the cap of those who may make it happen. But really it's a silly venture.
Nintendo has only just released it and frankly, almost all thier economic future DEPENDS on the success of the DS. Emulation at this stage would only serve to put yet another nail in the big N's coffin.
LEAVE THE DS ALONE.

I'm here to get new emus for (classic) consoles, I'm here to help in developing emus/plugin (...) and I want to help people who don't know how to use emus BUT I'm not here to ask for emus of not really released consoles!FAR said:
Okay, we probably all looking forward for the first emu of this console, because of the great features, but shouldn't we buy if before to try these feature IN REAL?! I think so...

Agreed, I think emulating current consoles to actually play them is a fucking stupid idead.
I do however, disagree with your thoughts on Nintendo. They could completely pull out of the NA market and still do just fine, they are still doing extremely well in Japan and the US market is just a very, very small slice of their pie.
Ooh, now that I think about it, wasn't the first GBA emu released within a week or so of the GBA launching? That sure as hell hasn't slowed sales down....
I'm just playing Devil's Advocate here, I think emulating the DS with intent to actually play the games and not buy the console is an idiotic idea.

How long after the GBA was released was there any emulator for it?
Let's face it: you have people that create emulators for the joy of programming and, down the road, for archival purposes.
Then you have people who just can't wait for the emulator so that, once the games can be pirated as well, they don't have to buy any more games.

"agreed, in theory it should be pretty much as hard as an N64 emulator to code, not sure how they'll get round emulating that pen attachment thing though"
As far as the touch screen part, I was reading somewhere else that they could use the mouse to drag across it. I forget which forum it was but it was saying that there was a emulator thing for the palm pilots that uses the mouse to drag stuff as the touch screen.
