Goddamnit I'd love to try that out. :( Eventually I'm going to have to break down and get an R4 as I've done plenty of research to see it is the best and easiest to use (no pain in the ass patches, fixes, etc.)

I think it's comical bullshit so many wannabe knowitalls love to shit on the DS saying it can not do this or that...it's crap coming from halfassed porters and leeches. I remember peoples bullshit how the GBA couldn't do PC Engine, SNES, Genesis, etc. In the end SNES with hacks/asm and no sound ran 100% speed or damn near it on quite a few. PCEngine games with audio did like 75-100%, and I recall Genesis did quite damn well.

The point? It's all about shutting the fuck up, using your brain, and actually doing the big E...effort. I'd love to see what will happen when someone really buckles down and does a SNES emulator correctly not doing some shitty band-aid port. Also love to even just see the PCEngine Advance emu ported because it ran CDs and normal w/audio so fast already...DS would be extreme overhead for perfection... Genesis could be gold, Neo Geo Pocket Color, all the 8bit stuff, and much more...but it's people wanting to try. Sadly the PSP exists and lazies just like on PC want to use the larger pool to make it easier to shovel out their work as it's easy to port when you got a crapload of wiggleroom.
