i might be wrong, but aren't pocket pc's usually alot more powerful than DS ...

My Mac Performa was 75 MHz without graphical acceleration, and it ran Warcraft 2 just fine. RAM might be a problem though; scaling the textures down should help.

Was the PocketPC port and official version?

Yes? No?

Do a search for Freecraft and take a look at what happened to those guys. Blizzard DOES NOT play nicely with people who don't want to mod within their own limited frameworks (Ie. Level editors...)

The FreeCraft project lives on, just under a different name ("Stratagus"). In fact, the PocketPC version use the Stratagus engine, it's even being mentioned in the first sentence of the that forum-post.

I don't think there would be any problems running the Stratagus (Wargus) on the DS. It runs beautifully on my smartphone which is not as powerful.
