I'm a little late to the party but I'm finally getting an
R4 card for my DS since I can't wait any longer for someone
to hack the DS through the SD slot.

Now I've seen some cool things I want to get...the
emulators, QuakeDS, ScummVM, Nitrotracker etc...

What do you guys recommend? Wat is your favourite
game/app/emulator thingymajig?

i was using vnds a lot as i love visual novels but didn't
want to take my laptop out. then there is a pretty decent
media player called moonshell. there are also two apps one
for controlling winamp wirelessly as a remote and one for
streaming music over wi-fi to your ds. not so hot about
emulators as they obviously use only one screen.

lameboy - cool - haven't played super mario land in ages

How about a good snes emulator? Seems some of them are not
that great.

I have found other console emulators to be be a bit fiddly
because of the aspect ratio of the DS screen.

There is a Mega Drive / Genesis emulator that kinda zooms in
on the screen cutting out top-bottom or sides.

Lameboy

Some other emulators.

There are a few emulators for old 8 bit computers that are
interesting as they emulate a keyboard on the touch screen
with the proper key layout for the computer.

Nice as lots of the old keyboard layouts were different or
had special keys that don't quite match up to a PC
keyboard.

Anyways, lots of fun to be had just messing around with what
is out there.

I still cry about my Amstrad CPC being stolen when our house
was broken into years ago.

I have a decent media/game player. It emulates the
megadrive beautifully. But Snes and GBA not as well. Turn
based RPGS are ok, since the bugginess doesn't interupt
gameplay. Mario is a pain to play though.

This looks like the one to try then matey.

Let me know if you have any luck with it.

Haven't dabbled in Minecraft, but have seen some vids of
intersting projects made with it.

If you have not tried them out yet, I recommend giving the
Castlevania games on the DS a spin.

Also Retro Game Challenge.

Minecraft is amazing fun and very addictive. Played single
player for a long time because I couldn't find a decent
server without lag. I found a good one with good lag,
running a kind of mmo mod with skills added to the bag now
I'm obsessed again. Simply put it's lego on steroids, but
much much more. Try it. Though you could possibly spend an
unhealthy amount of time with it.

Never played Castlevania before (maybe on the gameboy long
ago). Tried it recently on the gameplayer but was too buggy.

I just remembered seeing this too.

Haven't tried it, though if it is anything like the PC
version of Game Maker, it could be quite fun and easy to
learn.

I've run Nitro Tracker a few times.
If you have used Fast Tracker II or Protracker you should be
at home pretty quickly. There were some nice demo tracks to
show you it's capabilities too.

Haha, yeah, don't need any more crack-like digital
addictions.

I loved Lego as a kid.
And I'm glad you said LEGO and not LEGOS, so I'm guessing
you and not an Merican.

LEGGOS is a pasta not a toy you fools : )

DS game maker Wowa.

I've only used and use buzz tracker. Tried Adlib tracker in
DOS but it's a bit complicated for me.

The Castlevanias on the Game Boy were quite
poor examples of the series.

The GBA and DS versions are where its
at.

Works fine. Decent, no lag.

This is fun.

ScummVM works fine, haven't got speech to work yet, if it
does, I don't know.

Dscraft is not so good, controls aren't smooth enough to
build fast.

Amstrad emulator is cool too, although some games don't work
well.

Hooray.

Props to Sam for the mad Bangai-o love. Smash TV meets
bullet hell, meets joust = fun times.
