CrocoDS is a Amstrad emulator on Nintendo DS. It's based on the great emulator PC-CPC from Ludovic Deplanque (demoniak). it should run on any Nintendo DS with a decent linker that is supported by DLDI.
Installation
To run homebrews on your Nintendo DS, you need to buy a special DS cartridge (linker) to plug into your Nintendo DS game port. This cartridge is like a game cartridge except you insert a Flash card into it.
- First, connect the Flash card to your computer (using a Flash card reader)
- Patch the .nds file with dldi if needed (http://chishm.drunkencoders.com/DLDI/)
- Copy the homebrew file (the .nds file) from the computer to the flash card.
- Copy the .dsk (or .sna) file in the root (or in the /ROMS/CPC directory) of your flash card).
- Then, get the Flash card and insert it into the special cartridge (linker).
- Finally, plug this cartridge into your DS. That's all.
- Switch on your DS and you will see a menu with the name of the homebrew file you've just transfered. Select it to run.
Controls
D-Pad or A/B - Joystick, keypad or keyboard emulation
