I rmeember a while back someone mentioned why it would be difficult to do NDS emulation on the Pandora... could anyone run this down for me? It seems the Pandora should be more than enough to emulate the NDS?
There are topics about this if you'd just use the search function. I think it was stated that Exophase might consider a DS emu for the Pandora.quadomatic said:Nintendo DS is relatively new. Emulation has only recently been successful on PC, so it'll be a bit before we see it working properly on a mobile device.
I'm also not sure that we know Pandora is powerful enough for DS. Can anyone comment on that?

Yeah quadomatic, how dare you not use the search function before replying to this thread started by somebody else!

So it's okay to be ignorant as long as you're not the OP? That sounds pretty stupid to me.

He wasn't being ignorant, he was just being lazy, see?:Orkie said:So it's okay to attack one ignorant person but not another? That sounds pretty stupid to me.

It actually seemed to me personally that the Pandora was plenty beefed up to handle a task like this... even if it didn't do virtualization. The DS isn't a very beefed up handheld...
I'm not sure about the library of GBA games vs DS (never rly got into GBA...didn't get one till the very end of its lifespan). DS had some great games, but after a few months before Phantom Hourglass came out, the DS library was getting boring to me, so I sold my DS and accessories (lots of stuff) after getting my GP2X, which funded a very nice computer upgrade.bboyneko said:plus honestly, i own a DS and only like about 5 games total for it. The library of DS games has not been nearly as enjoyable to me as the GBA games.

...and now it has FFIII and FFIV, plus FFVI and Chrono Trigger 3D remakes coming soon. At this point, you couldn't pry my DS from my cold, dead fingers.![]()

Unless you got a Pandora with full DS emulation? ;P

Chrono Trigger remake is rumored to be keeping the same 2D art style from the original. And I'm going to need a source for this FFVI remake you mentioned, because my google-fu is failing me. A lot of "wouldn't it be nice..." posts, but nothing official I can find.
I bought Chrono Cross right about when it was released and beat it a few weeks afterwards. It was a very awesome game. I think it may very well be the best RPG I played on PSX (and I played a loooooot of rpgs on PSX). Parts were very confusing though. I'm guessing a lot of that may have been explained via alternate endings...and would've made more sense had I actually played through Chrono Trigger. I'm ashamed to say that I've barely gotten past the 1st major battle in the castle. I try to go back and play it, but I always have to start from the beginning, and so I lose initiative.palmertech said:Just to make it clear, the chrono trigger ds remake is NOT 3d. I dont see all that much of an advantage between snes on pandora and ds Chrono Trigger. I will still be buying it, though, to support the franchise....
