Nintendo DS Emulator DeSmuME Port for PS3 is Incoming

[Mbb]

Today French site PS3Gen (linked above) reports that the anonymous coder who brought us PS3SX and GenesisPlus GX PlayStation 3 emulators is now working on an NDS3 Nintendo DS emulator (DeSmuME port) for PS3 JailBreak users.

To quote, roughly translated: After a night's work, he offered us an exclusive alpha version of its emulator Nintendo DS based on DeSmuME.

The emulator is currently in testing phase but you can play 2D games like Yoshi's Island with good fluidity. Anonymous is working on compatibility and accelerate 3D games as well as the inclusion of sound.

It will also add a pointer to use the tactile features games, knowing that for now the L3 button enables a pressure on the screen, which is quite useful when a game requires to support it. Backups are functional and a menu selection opens ROMs when the button is pressed R3 to change the game without having to restart the emulator.

Anonymous wants to improve his first emulator before distributing it.

Great news bro... also is there a downgrade for 3.55? My bro updated my ps3 while I was getting the downgrade files for 350! ... I did some research and some sites said there was. Can anyone confirm this?

Let's keep this thread on topic, but if/when any new downgrade news arrives it gets added to our ongoing thread HERE. However, currently downgrading is only supported for 3.5 and below PS3 Firmware.

Maybe there will be an Online game support ? I mean there are no protections for it. You can use R3Smiply and take the ROM to play i.e. Mario Kart DS online.

N64 is one of my fav consoles. i hope we get an emulator soon. i'd probably get a usb adapter to use the n64 controller. but back on topic i've never played a DS emulator before it just doesn't seem as fun as having a touchscreen, i'll have to try this one and see how it feels.
