So, now that I have a DS Lite, what’s next beyond just playing some great games? Homebrew<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I’ve already ordered a new microSD card and, based on suggestions and pointers from a known homebrewer on the Colony, I also ordered the R4DS cart from System Gears<\/a>. Both shipped within the past couple of days, and I should be able to get started early next week.<\/p>\n

The first thing I plan to download and get into (and a majority of the reason I wanted to get into homebrew in the first place) is Colors DS<\/a>. It’s a fantastic little app that uses the touch sensitive screen of the DS to allow you to create wonderful tiny pieces of artwork.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, the R4DS firmware contains an app called Moonshell<\/strong> that plays music and can display images. Although, I also plan to download DSOrganize<\/strong>, which can do all of that, plus has PDA functionality, a web browser, an IRC client, and more.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, I plan to check out some homebrew games, including the DSCrawl<\/strong> rogue-like game, DSChess<\/strong> (which should be obvious), and LemmingsDS<\/strong>. According to this page on Wikipedia<\/a>, there is an absolute metric ton of classic PC games that have been ported to the DS as homebrew titles. Some of them look like a lot of fun.<\/p>\n

However, one thing that I do NOT intend to do is participate in any emulation. That’s one thing that I am adamant against. I don’t approve of ROMs and emulation, and I won’t support those efforts.<\/p>\n

Any other homebrew projects out there that you feel are worth checking out? Let me know! I’m open to the possibilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
