NESTER ON YOUR DS!

A guy by the name of Rich Witehouse has ported the "Nester" Nintendo Entertainment System emulator to the Nintendo DS. Here's a small portion of the included readme file.

This is a DS port of Nester. As you might've guessed. There are a ton of issues, and it still bothers me that I'm storing the NES ROM over in ewram. I need to look into that gbfs stuff apparently. There is no sound (the APU stuff is hooked up and runs fine on the DS, it just needs the DS to actually do something with the output), but the games I've tried run ok speed-wise. There is some "scanline"-type rendering optimizaton in place because that's all still very slow and I haven't taken advantage of any DS-specific hardware features to speed it up.

I'm a huge fan of the Nintendo Entertainment System, so this comes as great news for me and I can't wait to see what the future brings for this emulator.

Good..but frankly, I think if you want to play NES games the GBAMoviePlayer is the best option. (comes with pocketnes built in)

It dosnt handel big roms, and saveing only half-works, but it runs full speed and I havnt had any problems.

I got 400NES games on mine :D
Leaving plenty of room for a few eppisodes of futurama.

Should you really be linking to a DS pirating site?

Hey sounds cool.
When they fix all the bugs and we have sound, it would be a fun little thing.

I bought an NES and lots of games, I would not buy any NES remakes.

And it is about itme that all these remakes after remakes are free.

It's not a pirating site unless it actually has the roms on the that site...making a homebrew program that runs roms is NOT illegal...I for one think a flash cart and pogoshell is the best way to go right now for nes emulation...although i do have a movie player also... :)
