DS development > beginning in ds

#176550 - okabe13wood - Sun Aug 14, 2011 11:33 pm

i am ready to begin programming for ds.

so, can someone give me some clues on where to begin?
i have tried PAlib, but that piece of poop has too many problems.
so if libnds is my only option, then can someone link to a getting started guide or tuorial?

I do not think there is anything current in the way of tutorials. the samples are a good place to start as they cover a lot of the ds hardware specifics.

i mean, like what do i include? can someone provide a sample?

Sorry, I am referring to the examples that are installed with the devkitpro installer. There should be an examples directory under your devkitpro install directory. If it is not there then run the installer again and make sure you install the examples in addition to devkitarm and libnds.
