Emulation on the DS Pt. 2




Posted by maian

Okay, so I got a cheap, new, modded PSP months ago that is now loaded with Super Nintendo and GBA games. Quite simply, it's amazing. ***ly. But now, my thirst quenches for more! There's so many DS games I really want to play, but frankly, can NOT bust out $30 for every single one, especially being jobless. It would be difficult even with a job with all the junk I have to pay for right now.

So, here's the question: My other thread asked about emulation on the DS, mainly for Super Nintendo games. But now I'm wondering how you can emulate or manage to play DS games for uh, free. Obviously stored all in one place.

I know about R4, but are there any other ways? Cheap? Any ways to do it for free? (lol)

Need to buy an SD card or Slot-2 device. No way to do it otherwise. The DS is only good for emulating NES, Game Boy, Genesis and its own games anyway. There are, however, some nifty homebrew apps.

And any SD card will suffice?




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

R4DS and M3 Simply are the main ones you wanna be using.

So basically, you can't just get any SD card and slap emulators on it?




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Nope.

I'm getting a job. :cool:

It sill doesn't change the fact that I'd have to devote entire paychecks to getting the DS games I want to play, when I have way more things I need to save up for that are more important.

Wait why cant you just reload your psp with more emulators from different systems?

Uh....because it lacks a touch screen.

It's free. It's legal. It's completely crap. Good choices.

Then you learn to compromise and realise that life isn't about getting everything you want, quit being a spoiled brat.

I've half a mind to lock this thread on principle.

Fuck it, locked. Big Boss, Fate, Prince and I aren't going to make them for free in 5 or 10 years so you guys better pay up.
