DS development > So, when do ya'll think we can start the homebrewing?

I was thinking somewhere a year. That was about how long I noticed it took for people to start the GBA homebrewing. Now I could be wrong, it could take longer because of the complexity of the system, but I have complete faith in our reverse enginers.

But, first does anyone have any updates on the subject? I mean, has anyone even tried making an emulator for it yet? That, I think would be the first step. Let me know what ya'll think.

I personally believe that the DS is such an anticipated system with all it's unique features that it will spurn on the people working on cracking it to work faster/more diligently. I wouldn't be surprised if we're developing by April.

I think the processor emulation should be finished by now. I know that the arm 7 core was at its alpha testing at around June. I don't see the harm in our first emulator having GBA graphics/sound hardware capabilities with the dual processors.

Why is the author of this emu still anon? I keep seeing/reading and hearing about thinly veiled references to this emu, but it is a closely guarded secret. It smacks of clansmanship.

you'll catch him over at the gbadev on efnet.
