is it possible in any way? my idea is, have keyboard on bottom screan, and the game on the top, and by holding L or R the screens swap so you can point and click. is that possible? i was thinking for games like broken sword or war craft. and no doubt it would be used for hentai games, damn people realy seem to want them.  ???

There's a Scumm port (old lucasarts games emulator) but that's pretty much it for compy games.

Emulating an x86 on another processor can be easy, if you have the power to back it up. The DS certainly does not. That and it would be an insane undertaking. If you port linux to DS (which it probably already happened) and you can port WINE to the DS, you MIGHT be able to run solitaire at 0.0001 fps :)

No.

Doom and Heretic are the only old 2d\3d FPS' you can play on there so far.

There's also the GBA duke nukem game. Alot easier than helping you set up linux and then a game for linux.

Uhh...right.

Anyway, yes Duke Nukem has probably been ported since it is open source. Quake 3 is soon to follow :). However, just because its out on linux, doesn't mean it can be ported.

For instance: I imagine that GIMP can't be ported to the DS, however it might be possible. I guess my point is, don't use a bunch of caps to make your point.


The end.
