Hmm...impossible?

First, you can't EMULATE an n64 on the DS. Period. The 66MHz main CPU of the DS isn't fast enough to emulate a Genesis properly (yet), there's no way you're gonna emulate something like the n64 on the DS.

Second, if you wanted to PORT it, you'd need the assets (models, textures, maps, sounds, music, etc) and the source (programming code), and even if you had both, the source is written for n64's official SDK, and the DS homebrew SDK is much different, second, it would be awfully hard to port such a complex game even if you had all of the above, which you aren't going to, because it's all licensed and copyrighted to Nintendo.


The only thing you could TRY is post on Nintendo's forums that you'd like a Super Smash Bros for DS, with 3d models, like the n64 version. Get thousands of people that agree with you to post, and Nintendo might consider thinking about it.

Well I think he meant a remake, or just producing a similar game, rather than a direct port/emulation.

Still, no one with adequate skills is going to devote time to helping to produce a game, especially since you have nothing to show for your efforts.

My advice, go read up a whole bunch of things and attempt to produce a simpler game by yourself, then work on something similar to this by yourself (if by the this point you still want to carry on). Once you have something to show people will be more interested in joining you and take you project much more seriously.

As there are countless posts similar to this if you want to stand any chance of seeing this game as your own creation, you have to atleast contribute something to it.

It'd be possible to make a product with capabilities similar to "MUGEN" or "Fighter Maker" for the DS, but nobody seems very interested in such a project as of today. Search for all terms "fairy tale" to see previous attempts.

of the 5 or 6 forums I haunt, I see a n64 game port or emulator request at least 3 times a week

GBA emulator for slot1 seems to come up like 4 times a day

So, why doesn't someone create a GBA Emu already.. so we can just direct them to it? I mean.. I know it won't be playable, but it can be done. Who wants to be the first to release a GBA Emu for the DS?

Why? Mines working great and the GnM card.. we don't need sound support to enjoy the game.

what you do is get a copy of supersmashbros.v64 convert the file from .v64 to .nds then play it OR get an n64 emulator convert it to .nds and play the file

I'd love to see you write a program that does this. ;-)

Nah, N64->DS translation is easy but converting this to English would require a bit more work ;-)
