DS development > New to Development on DS

Hiya, everybody!

I'm totally new to development not only for DS, but for almost anything...

I know a bit of C/C++/C#, I created some solutions using the Visual Studio from Mr. Gates.

I'm impressed with the community here on development...

I felt in love with Q1 and Q2 for DS already (as almost anyone that like these games, I guess) and wanted to start on it

If anyone could gimme a hand, I got some nice ideas for game designs....

Thanks a lot everyone, even if I'm still waiting for an answer....

And you can count on a Brazilian dude whenever you want now ^.^ Just PM me and i'll do my best!

Always good to get more devs interested, What exactly do you need a hand with?

And Good luck!

To tell the truth, with everything....

LOL....

I have a DS Lite and a Revolution card with 2gb memory on the microSD card....

That's my hardware.....

From that point on, I don't have a clue on how to begin development

Firstly I'd like to point you to the DevKitPro Toolchain and the excellent collection of links here!

Myself being new to the DS as well I would be glad to recommend some tutorials that were a great help for me.

This one is my favorite
http://www.dev-scene.com/NDS/Tutorials

This one is nice because it comes with source and a downloadable pdf tutorial

Hope that helps and best of luck!

Hey. I just recently (like 2 days ago) got interesting in DS homebrew game making. I have spent that time looking for tools and programs I could use. I downloaded devkitARM. what kind of program would I use to make and import 3-d models? could I use 3ds max since I already have that on my comp, or would I need something else. also what kind of engines are (freely) available?. getting the models done and rigged, is the first step I would like to do, then go from there. Any help?

Zelderman, there's few exisiting model converters and exporters - although I can't remember if anyone here has done one for 3ds/max, converting from one format to another is relatively easy.
