Welcome to the Ninth Edition of The ROM Report, and a Happy New Year! Today’s post is partially inspired by Retrojunk.com, because I really like the site’s articles on NES and SNES games. Without further ado, here are the SNES games that I tested with SNEmulDS running on my R4DS/Nintendo DS: Robocop 3 – Runs [...]

Welcome back to The Rom Report, currently in Issue Eight. Here’s where you’ll find what retro games from the NES, SNES, Genesis, and Gameboy eras will work on a modern day device such as the Nintendo DS with the help of homebrew emulator software! I came across this back-issue of Retro Gamer at a local [...]

As some of you might notice from my previous The ROM Report installments, I experiment with quite a number of emulators (SNemulDS, jEnesisDS, Lameboy) and also quite a number of old-school ROMs on my Nintendo DS. To keep track on what works, what doesn’t and ultimately what have I tried out, I decided to create [...]

I really liked the “Notable Homebrew” section in the Nintendo DS Homebrew Wikipedia article before it was editted out, with the reason that “Wikipedia is not a list of links”. In any case, the list of links from that section can still be retrieved from the revision history. I’m putting up a portion here for [...]

In this Fifth edition of The Rom Report, we’ll look at running something special on the Nintendo DS, with an exceptionally good looking piece of homebrew software and a bunch of ROMs as well. According to Wikipedia, MAME, which stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator, is an emulator application designed to recreate the hardware of [...]

I seem to have more fun playing retro games on the Nintendo DS than my bunch of DS games. The Encyclopedia of Game.Machines has been a great read, full of retro stuff (Play-Asia, USD 29.90) Normally when it comes to running Gameboy and Gameboy Color on the Nintendo DS, the homebrew programs of choice to [...]

Welcome to the third installment of The Rom Report! Today we’ll look at several SNES games that I’ve tried to run on the Nintendo DS using SNEmulDS. Without further a do, here’s what really works, what works somewhat and what doesn’t work at all. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past -This is [...]

As promised, this is Part 2 of the Rom Report, this time featuring NES games run on the Nintendo DS with the help of a Slot-1 Flashcart and a piece of homebrew software called nesDS. Before I begin, I’ll need to clarify that running SNES and NES games on the Nintendo DS are two separate [...]

I seem to be spending more time with SNES and NES Roms on my Nintendo DS rather than my 30-odd Nintendo DS games. So here’s a report on what really works, what works somewhat, and what doesn’t work at all. The hardware I’m using: Dark Blue Nintendo DS R4DS Slot-1 Flashcart 1 gigabyte Kingston Micro [...]

I never really have written a review of Tower Defense, a homebrew adaptation of the popular Warcraft III mod, for the Nintendo DS, despite it being one of my favourite homebrew games. I intend to make up for that and so here goes. For those who are not familiar with the Warcraft III version of [...]
