| Game Review : Android Emulator |
Nintendo DS emulators have been around for awhile on PCs, but a proper touchscreen version for a mobile platform like Android OS? This time we're talking about an actual handheld-based DS emulator. You'll also need Nintendo DS ROMs, software copies of the original Read Only Memory chips used in Nintendo's video game cartridges.
Tiger Lab says it plans to pour "huge efforts" into getting the DS emulator up to grade by adding a dynamic recompiler, simulating a graphics processor (GPU), allowing OpenGL hardware rendering, and adding a floating point unit (FPU).
While Sony was busy announcing its PlayStation Certified suite of PS1 games for Android devices, the developers at Tiger King were busy getting an emulator of the Nintendo DS up and running on Android phones.
All emulators start out as proof of concepts and over time, with a little determination and a whole lot of hours spent debugging, a usable app usually turns up. If the emulator seems slow now, wait until people start mucking around with the powerful quad-core Sony NGP.
Tiger Lab apps by Tiger King has just released a Nintendo 3DS emulator demo app for Android devices. Hit the source link to give the Nintendo 3DS emulator a whirl on your Android.
