ZXDS is an emulator of Sinclair ZX Spectrum for Nintendo DS, written by Patrik Rak. It is steadily reaching a mature stage of development, and it already has some noteworthy features, like accurate emulation of Spectrum 48k, 128k and Pentagon models (including sound), or support for TAP/TZX/PZX tape files, TRD/SCL disk files and RZX playback files.

Changes:

ZXDS 0.9.0 beta 2 (20.3.2009)

* Added proper initial FIFO sync which shall make WiFi init work on all cards.
* Reenabled automatic loading of .cfg and .pok files which was accidentally disabled before.
+ Added early boot message so people can see something is going on if boot takes a bit longer.
– The r4tf.dldi driver is not patched in, as these cards now support autopatching. Also note that for the same reason and to avoid excess garbage the latest libfat library doesn’t include any builtin DLDI drivers anymore, so if you have some older card, you may need to DLDI patch ZXDS yourself even if you hadn’t to do that before.

This application is a “Visual Novel Engine”. It is used to create and manipulate scenes to form a script in which the player can delve into.

Ace Attorney DS reads from .ini files which fill in variables needed for the case to run. This engine, or in other words “Casemaker”, comes with 113 profile sprites, 280 evidence sprites, 99 maps and 941 animations (pre-scripted for you, from Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney and Phoenix Wright : Justice For All). Using these resources and the knowledge of the .ini functions, you can basically re-create a Phoenix Wright game, with your own custom plot, characters, evidence/profiles, maps/collision maps, and music. Don’t feel limited to only being able to make Phoenix Wright games, this is a visual novel engine with unlimited possibilities if you have ideas. A fanfiction can be played out, for instance, through this application with the necessary sprites and script. Simply put, Ace Attorney DS is a game-maker.

This is a puzzle/platformer where you must navigate through the two screens in order to get to the star at the end of each stage. The top screen is the blue world where gravity flows downward, and the bottom screen is the red world where gravity flows upward. When you travel between the two worlds, you conserve your momentum.

There are also spikes you must avoid, and doors which can only be opened by buttons. Place a block on the button to keep the door open.

Blocks come in three different colors – red, green, and blue. Green blocks will observe the gravity of the world they are in (like the player), but red and blue blocks will continue to act as though they are still in their own world (e.g., a blue block will fall down, even in the red world).

Currently all levels are unlocked from the beginning. The number of stars(*) next to each level indicates its relative difficulty.
