Are there any DS emulators for the Mac, or any plans for one? It would greatly reduce the annoying delay in testing small changes in the code->compile->copy to CF card->run->repeat cycle.
Otherwise, I might have to buy an Intel Mac and run (oh no!) Windows.

I agree a mac emulator would be a great help. I imagine the closest thing currently is DeSmuMe what with it being open source and having a linux port.

I think my GTK version of Desmume can be built on Mac (but x86 ones) ... Can someone try ?

There is also DSemu-ng; the last source package (January) built and ran fine under OSX, as far as I remember. Of course, it doesn't do much once it compiles and runs, but that's a matter of functionality.
Edited: Forgot to add BBcode. Oops.

I doubt there's a lot of Mac users here. What'd be helpful is a good cross-platform emulator.

What would be even better is an accurate emulator, regardless of platform. But if you're worried about the musical CF cards issue, once someone gets an HTTP client/.nds loader going on the DS, you'll just have to turn on the Apache HTTP Server that you already have.

What if someone made a special type of cable that plugs into a CF slot, and could be switched between two devices? Sorta like a Y adapter...

you could always try something like: http://darwine.opendarwin.org/
i dunno how well it's gonna work though. i've had some success with regular wine & dualis.

How fast is your processor and what type is it (ppc I assume); how much RAM do you have; and what kind of performance did you get out of running a DS emulator inside a (non)Windows emulator (WINE Is Not an Emulator)?
I have a dual 1.8 GHz G5 with 2 Gigs of RAM. Think it'll run?
