I was wondering if anyone thought it may be a good idea to make a port of KallistiOS to the ds, as in the one that was used for dreamcast developement. Or is it just going to be easier to keep things the way it was for deving on the gba...

Doesn't ndslib do for the DS what KOS does for the Dreamcast?

not even close
libogc does for the Gamecube what KOS does for the Dreamcast (and then some) :)

So what advantage do KOS/libogc have over libnds? Nicer functions for doing 3d?

KOS is alot like a small version of a unix program, it basically provided an interface for programming like one would do in unix, it also had the same functionality that libnds has, but alot more stuff, even had the ability to play sounds right out of the box

Porting KOS would appear to make it easier to maintain a homebrew program that works on both Nintendo DS and Dreamcast.

except for the fact that the graphics hardware for DS and Dreamcast are vastly different

Doesn't KOS's OpenGL driver cover up the differences though?

I was thinking more about the 2d hadware, and the two separate screens, and the touchscreen. I guess the 3d would probably be similar between the two.
