I don't know much about homebrew, but there's a really fun DOS game called Marshmallow Duel that seems like it would work well on the DS.
Player 1 could use the D-pad to move and L to use item, and Player 2 could use the ABXY buttons and R to use item. the gameplay could all be on one screen. or, if you're more ambitious, wireless/wifi play could be added (especially single-card play! my bro doesn't have an M3, but I put flashme on his DS so download play works).
anyone have any interest in porting/emulating a game like this? it'd be really awesome!

I think someone said its theroticaly possible to emulate dos/x86 at around 16mhz :p
A lot of effort though.
(Still, 16 is enough for some games...)

Well, I still remember the good ol' day playing Prince of Persia I on my grandpa's prehistoric computer (20 Mhz :D). However, I think it's a lot easier to port games to DS, than to emulate their OS. :)

I played POP on my rock solid, still working 4MHz XT, so this game should work on DS. If you got the emulation straight

you'd prolly be better of emulating the nes version.
dos(box) on ds would be ultimate though, there a lots of great simple games for it.

Personaly, Id love Alone in the Dark to work....I think that was around 16mhz and it needed 8MB Hard drive space :p
Not sure of ram.

Sands of Time is one of the most fantasic games ever made, dont demise it because of the horrible "PoP: 3D".
Its probably the best platform game of this/last generation

Maybe I should rephrase my original question. Is there anyone here who would be interested in porting Marshmallow Duel to the DS? I certaily have no idea how to.

unfortunately not everything is open source.
I would love to play something like Lode Runner: The Legend Returns or Megarace on ds, but there are a lot of limitations. I don't know how well these games would play on a 16MHz x86 with 4MB ram, using a 256x192 screen...

A realistic goal would be a 4.77mhz 8086 with 640kb ram, especially if the CPU core is written in C.
Problem is, you need someone who has experience with the x86 architecture and has the time to write an emulator.
Still, this is definately a project I'd like to see.

Lode Runner runs fine in PocketNES on a GBA.

This might be my next project. Of course, don't expect it to run any games or anything, but I'd be happy to just get a C:\> prompt up from freedos or similar.
Anyone have know a good reference I could use? I guess I need info on 8086 asm, and a description of what the needed BIOS does.
perhaps I should just look into one of the already existing dos/x86 emu's and learn from that.
