Xyds is a XY-MINI emulator running on Nintendo DS. You have to copy the .XYM file into the .NDS file at the position saying "THEXYMINIFILEYOUWANTTOEMULATEGOESHERE", including overwriting this text.
Xyds: http://zzo38computer.cjb.net/nitro2/Xyds/
XYMTOOL: http://zzo38computer.cjb.net/xym/xymtool.zip
To use XYMTOOL to patch a .nds or .ds.gba or .sc.nds file:
xymtool -f xymfilename -p xyds dsfilename
Documentation about XY-MINI is available at: http://zzo38computer.cjb.net/xym/
Controls in Xyds:
- A,B,SELECT,START,UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT: Set the virtual machine game controller buttons register.
- L or R or TOUCH: If held, it pauses while held. Otherwise, L and R and TOUCH all do the same thing, which is that you push with other combination for the emulator options. (These examples will assume R is the button you pushed)
- R+START: Reset virtual machine
- R+SELECT: Pause
- R+X: Resume
- R+A: View and edit memory
This XY-MINI emulator supports only monochrome tile mode so far, and no sound. Headers are not understood, and device mode isn't supported either.
Please tell me if you notice any mistakes, or any other comment of it, please.

I just updated it to version 0.2 now, some mistakes are corrected. I need help! It works correctly in emulator but it doesn't work correctly on real hardware! Can you please look to see what is wrong?

I downloaded the new version of devkitARM, in case that was a mistake in the old version of devkitARM, but now I get error message: | Code: |

I posted the fixed version now. Now it works correctly.
Xyds: http://zzo38computer.cjb.net/nitro2/Xyds/
XYMTOOL: http://zzo38computer.cjb.net/xym/xymtool.zip
To use XYMTOOL to patch a .nds or .ds.gba or .sc.nds file:
xymtool -f xymfilename -p xyds dsfilename
XYMTOOL includes source-code. It also includes TILEMAKR and MAPMAKER, which are used to create tile sets and maps for XY-MINI (monochrome tile mode only). 8ted can also be used to create tile sets for XY-MINI (but TILEMAKR has a few features that 8ted doesn't have). If you want to use XYMTOOL on a operating system that isn't Windows, you have to compile it using FreeBASIC.

The XYMTOOL package now includes a generalized assembly file for XY-MINI.

perhaps you were a bit excited about your release. it would be nice if you edited your first post with more information, info on what it does, how to run it, how to set it up. your information so far is very confusing. the download contains no readme with additional information assuming all users are at your level of understanding into exactly what your homebrew project is.

OK I edited the first post with more information. Can you understand it better now?

No. WTF is XYmini? Documentation is in DOC format, so not readable when browsing with most handheld devices.

Yes it really would be better in different format. But if I convert to HTML it causes some problems. You can browse on your computer (instead of handheld) when you have time, using Microsoft Word or OpenOffice to view the DOC file.

To answer your question, AFAICT, he's invented a little virtual machine and dubbed it the "XY-MINI". This project, then, is a simulator for that virtual machine.
To be brutally honest, I'm not sure why anyone would be interested in this (I'm sure it's interesting as a developer, but it doesn't really address any real need, AFAIK), but... *shrug*

XY-MINI is a simple virtual machine which is used mostly for games (but can be used for other things as well). The game-console project I make, one feature it will have is the ability to run XY-MINI files (but it will run native files as well, and have many other functions as well, of course). Later I also hope to see XY-MINI built in to portable DVD players and other devices as well.
If you have any more question you can ask about it, please.

Seriously? How do you plan to get the publicity and influence to make the DVD player manufacturers take interest and do this?
The idea of a video game playing virtual machine is fairly reasonable, but unless it's incredibly revolutionary, you aren't going to get the "if we build it, they will come" effect. Do you actually have a business plan for pushing and marketing this thing?

Not trying to be overly critical here, but the portable device world already has a snazzy virtual machine for running code, and it does far more than simple bitmapped games. It's called the JVM. You'll find it on mobile phones, PDAs, and Blu-ray players, among other things.
