Hi everyone , before i actually get into DS DEV , i would like to know if there's an opengl library for ds , and if yes , if its HW accelerated.
If it isn't , how can i render hw accelerated graphics?
Thanks!!

Many of the memory-mapped addresses pertaining to 3D for the NDS have been wrapped together to operate, to some degree, in the same manner as OpenGL functions do, though the NDS doesn't have native support for OpenGL as you might think. Through these functions (or directly working with the memory-mapped addresses), you can take advantage of the 3D-accelerated hardware.

So , do you guys have any alternate library to recommend?
I just don't wanna spent much time trying to figure everything by myself.
I just wanna make a few homebrew games ...that's all.
Any help much appreciated.

Well, dev on your PC if you don't want to learn what makes the DS DEV so fun >_<

Try the libraries currently available for the DS. They are not an exact match for OpenGL, but they do look a lot like it.

Along with devkitARM, devkitProUpdater installs libnds, which features an OpenGL-esque API for the 3D hardware. It comes with some demos showing how to use the 3D hardware, including ports of the NEHE tutorial demos so you can see what the differences are.
