I was in WalMart the other night and noticed a new accesory for the Nintendo DS. I didn't buy it, it was $40. But it was a device that plugged into your DS and had a port for an SD card. The card was sold seperately, so it woulb be more like $80 bucks by the time you got a good card. The packaging said that it would allow you to play mp3s and video files and small .exe's. I don't know exactly how it would work, but most GM games are fairly small, so I figure it would be doable, if you set up the buttons right. Does anyone know more about this thing?
Also, as I write this, I am listening to a BBC story about an Austrailian team that invented a T-shirt that allows you to play air guitar and make real music. It uses a 3-volt power supply and can fit under a long sleeve shirt, so people won't know you're wearing it until you whip out some Iron Butterfly! Technology couldn't get any better.
Ah, those things are good for setting up homebrew software on the DS. No GM though.
Air guitar… real music!? Ok, silly for one, i'd rather spend my time working on a real guitar; secondly… what an awesome idea. I know, I contradict myself.
-RhysIf it's the M2 GBA movie player, don't get it, it's outdated…
GM requires DirectX… I don't know how many times I need to say that to people sometimes.Also, there is something now called the M3 movie player, which I think can play full GBA games, aswell as DS games if you have a passme device.I got the M2 though, still fun for my homebrewIf osmeone managed to get gm working on there they would probably break soem directx copyright and not be able to legally sell it. So chances of finding one in walmart isnt very good =p
What if you got a Windows emulator? Maybe you could put DirectX on that?
Hahahahahahahahahaha! I'm now going to pretend Buffit never said anything…
So I assume that DirectX cannot be loaded onto this thing then? All I know about DirectX is that a new version comes with every computer game I buy, and that the better the graphics, the newer the version.
You can get a DirectX emulator and a Windows 2000 emulator. That might work.
Buffit….the problem is (what i think anyway) is the quesetion of:
First, how are you going to get the emulator on your DS….If anything, that's a huge .exe, not a small one.And second, that'd just screw your DS up, even if you could get it on. You don't expect to install an emulator on a DS and get it to work, do you?
