A very early experimental version of DS console emulator for ARM32/PS Vita.

Currently this runs some games, however following things are missing:

3D rendering is very broken.
2D rendering is almost complete.
ARM7 HLE will not work with most games.
- Disable it if certain games don't boot further, get struck, crash or have any issue.

Installation

Downoload the latest vpk from releases and install it through VitaShell.

Install libshacccg.suprx, follow this guide.

It's recommend overclocking your Vita, by default they are unchanged.

Create the folder ux0:dsvita and put your roms there.
