Nintendo DS emulation?

[WhiteX]

I dunno, emulation serves the purpose of nostalgia, i can´t be nostalgic about something that is not even released properly, leave the DS alone...for now!

Super Mario DS, Sonic DS and Metroid DS are out for now

Sonic DS = Confirmed fake
Super Mario DS = Fake
Metroid DS = Only true ROM atm.

I hope emulating the DS goes well, but as a few people stated, I think that you should wait until it gets out onto the market, I was never a fan of emulating a console/handhelds when they were out on the market at the time. I only have up to N64 for emulation.

... They're both fake. If you'd look at the filesize, they're too small to be real. Mario isn't 9kb and Metroid isn't 16kb. D:

Even if they were game dumps what's the point on downloading them!? So you can boast 'bout having them?

Sad really......

So far, the only known -real- dump is the Metroid Demo. Not only dumped, but hacked as well. As far as an emulator for the system goes, I wouldn't be surprised if something came into the public eye within a months time. Thanks to the reversing talents of a certain individual, we know have complete a complete memory map of the system, we know how the roms work in conjunction with the system, and as of 5 minutes ago, we know that the DS doesn't just look for header information when loading Gameboy Advance games. And we have the code to bypass it. Also we have a pretty good understanding of the encryption (It's based on the system time). I'm not saying that we will have perfect or even good emulation anytime soon, but I am willing to bet that will will see the ARM9 BIOS running before long.

Mario 64 of N64 have only 6 megs compresed, and Turok (a simple fps with better textures than metroid DS) have 16 megs compresed ... so i dont see the small filesize lain:

JinXD I dont want a DS emulator and i will not play with this both games in future ... this inst sad, i only say that there are 3 releases

JaJaJaJa i dont understand you before X-D

Both games dont have 9 kbs and 16 kbs, they have 9.000 kbs (9megs) and 16.000 kbs (16megs)

XD

There is a lot of talk here about this encryption going on at gbadev. The reason they are trying to crack it is so they can get the homebrew scene going.

Apperently the method used to dump metroid does not work on super mario 64 ds.

MB? The files you have are in KB. D: Metroid wouldn't be 16kb compressed.

Edit: I didn't notice that. My PC says it in MB, not in KG. ...I thought it meant 16kb and a part of another. D:

Eh, sorry. :\

Look again. That's 16 thousand kilobytes. 16 megabytes.

Sonic DS: Fake, the author said so (he put words like 'HOAX' in the ROM as a hint).
Pictochat: Fake, was made by the same guy who did Sonic DS.
Metroid Prime First Hunt: Real, but there could be some fakes floating around. This one was dumped by DarkFader.
Super Mario 64 DS: Fake.

To check if you have a real ROM, open it with a program like NDS Packer Tool (http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0AJ5X3J6TSERG1YZUR0LA84N3W).
