it could probably be ported, with the source code. that is probably not going to be available (the extendability of gta games is a joke, giving the source code would be several steps up that).
So that would either leave cloning or emulating. emulation is not going to happen, since this game is from 1997 and probably requires a pentium class cpu; whereas the best one could possibly emulate on ds is a probably something like 386sx (really pushin' it).
leaves cloning. well... who knows... check this out in the meantime:

i read there might be a game boy color version out there; if you can find a gbc emulator for ds you could run that.

However, Ant6n pretty much summed up my point :-)

How amusing that the first "you cant spell count or use punctuation" example is by the starter of this thread...LMAO :)

Yeah hes right, Rockstar Games currently has a laughable way to claim their games as open, which is letting you download PC versions, at their permission

It probably would be easiest to clone it and use the same data files.

well, basically, you're asking someone to port a game that's already available to the console you're requesting the port to be done on.

it's like asking to make a port of mario 64 to the DS, when there's one readily available at any retail store.

first, I was joking..

But, I only own a DS.. I have like 15 DS games and only 1 GBA game (and that was just to use as a dust cover for Slot-2).. So, suggesting a GBA to a DS player.. doesn't really count.
