DS Misc > EXE's on the DS?

#63477 - MechaBowser - Tue Dec 13, 2005 2:15 pm

Hey. I was wondering, if it is possible to play EXE's on the DS.
I've used a program called Multimedia Fusion (http://Clickteam.com), and I think it's just a clone of C++ or VB.
Beside, the EXE's uses a .dll known as CNCS232.dll (http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?cncs232) ... can it still be played on the NDS?

Please Respond

No.

NDS isn't based on Windows operating system and therefore can't run the .exe applications. A similar project, Game Maker was being ported to NDS, but the project was cancelled.

The only kind of EXE that could be made to work on a DS would probably be an MS-DOS EXE running in a PC emulator. Discuss that here.
