DS Daily: Homebrew hoping

We love homebrew, and we know a lot of you are fans of the homebrew scene as well. Unfortunately, we all can't be blessed with programming skills, but if you were, what kind of homebrew would you make? What programs, applications, or games would you like to see on your DS? Who knows, maybe some homebrew geniuses out there will see your desires and get some ideas -- we can hope, can't we? After all, our DS can do many things, but it can't do everything.

Well, a incredible machine port would be good (with a editor of course).
Aswell as a
DOSBox Port and a decent voice recorder.

Some college buddies and I are currently working on a homebrew game. It uses the DS microphone and it's portability to have an affect on gameplay.

There is a way you can get this, sign up for imified service (imified.com) on a jabber account (eg Gtalk) and set up twitter with it, then download jabberDS (just google it) and then you've got twitter on your DS. Works great for blogging and stuff too, although getting wifi can be a pain.

My friends and I are porting Laser Hockey (from Wii Play) to the DS. Graphics and physics suck right now because our primary goal is wireless DS-DS multiplayer.

I think we need a good multi-player rts on the ds. Something like command and conquer. (I know there's been some movement in that direction, but upon checking, I found it to be more or less dead.)

I'd like some homebrew that allowed DSDownload multiplayer for an NES emulator, sure most of the time I'm just playing MegaMan II by myself on there, but a round of Ice Climbers with a friend would be awesome.

I wouldn't mind seeing Tetris JR.

I'd be happy with an RTS that didn't suck. Hopefully Robocalypse will be good, but who knows?

3-23-2008 @ 2:13PM

iofthestorm said...

Hmm, Robocalypse is that a commercial game? Also, their "first RTS" thing is bull, FFXII Revenant Wings is an RTS and a damn good one, although it's a bit different than stuff like Starcraft/Warcraft in that there's no resource gathering, but it's still really fun.

Tom said...

Yeah, Revenant Wings was fun, but I couldn't stand how stupid the AI was sometimes! If that is fixed in Robocalypse, I'll be happy.

I'm making a Pokedex (which is taking forever; putting in all the information is a pain in the ass) and a checkbook app to keep track of your bank account funds or stuff like giftcards. Then hopefully some sort of small game demo...

A decent war walking program would be fun, especially if it could keep logs you could chart online later.

A wifi media remote that would include an index of the music on my computer and let me make playlists. Obviously this would require a service on the computer.

Nitrotracker updated to include more features. (It's different, but I'm looking forward to the Korg DS-10).

A save file management program for my R4 that would let me do backups and restores on the fly.

Is there a program like Rudolph's tool that lets you back up your old GBA ROMs and savefiles? If not there should be one.
