SnezziDS
From PHWiki
SnezziDS is a port of Snezziboy, an SNES emulator for the GBA, to the Nintendo DS platform. Up to v0.25a, Snezziboy was originally coded by Bubble2k while the NDS port was made by Gladius. Starting with the WIP builds of v0.27 however, Bubble2k played a more active role in SnezziDS's development. Currently, both of them work on the DS version together.
The most recent version is SnezziDS v0.28a , released on Thu Oct 12, 2006.

Features
The main benefits of porting the emulator to the DS are:
1. larger screen size - less scaling necessary
2. better game speed
3. sound emulation possible
4. more buttons available - "CTRL" key unnecessary
See the Snezziboy article for more information on Snezzi in general.
Current Issues
The official developers only test SnezziDS on flashcarts. Other sources confirm that it works on M3 CF/SD and Supercard CF/SD. It does NOT work on the Supercard Rumble series, and users of the M3 Pro series can only use final compilations 4 megabytes in size or less, as the Pro series reduced the amount of RAM from 32 megabytes to 4, rendering games like Chrono Trigger and the Donkey Kong Country series unplayable. In theory, it would be possible to load a rom of up to 24 megabits (3 megabytes) from a file system into the DS's RAM, allowing an emulator to be used with the GBA Movie Player, MAX Media Dock, and all slot-1 homebrew devices, but as of January 2007, this has not been implemented into SnezziDS.
Source Code
SnezziDS source - The DS version is currently a branch off of the GBA version, under the branches/ds directory. You will need devkitarm to compile the DS source, and any PC compiler to compile the builder.
