As if your Android phone wasn’t fun enough, XDA member shadowb0ss posted some interesting information on an upcoming Nintendo DS emulator for Android in development from Tiger Lab. Here’s the details so far:
Tiger Lab apps(nds demo emulator)
[Only open for limited days]1. VERY EARLY PROTOTYPE VERSION(BETA) FOR DEMO ONLY
2. It is very very slow so you shall not expect to play NDS game with this emulator.
3. It is used to DEMO that NDS game can be played on android phone
It is shown that NDS WILL be played some days on android phone, maybe 2012 or later
WHAT IS NEXT WORK (Huge efforts)
1. More powerful phones
2. Dynarec CPU simulation
3. GPU simualtion improvement for speed greatly.
4. Hareware render (eg, OpenGL ES)
5. FPU. Since NDS need lots of float calculation. FPU can improvement performance greatly. Later ARM will have FPU in feature
You can click here to try it yourself, but keep in mind these warnings about the emulator not working so smoothly as of right now. A stable Nintendo DS emulator would be sure to be successful, but that likely won’t be the case until 2012 or later. What do you guys think? Is playing Mario Kart something you’d love to do with your device?
