Pstros NDS is a MIDP implementation running on the CLDC java machine compiled for the Nintendo DS. It allows you to run some java programs and games written for the mobile phones on your NDS.

To achieve this goal one needs a java machine for processing the bytecode and a program library that implements the MIDP api. In this case the Sun’s KVM java machine was used (thanks to Torlus and davr for porting it for the NDS and providing the source) and an altered version of the Pstros was used as the MIDP library. Both parts were built into the single binary to simplify the execution of the java code on the NDS.

Changes:

– added HttpConnection class to satisfy dependencies of some applications
– implemented drawing of the ellipses (note: draw/fillArc is not fully functional yet)

Older gaming experts might remeber this genoius game called “Ports of Call”. Ports of Call is a trading simulation developed in 1987 originally made by Aegis Interactive Software. In the beginning you buy a ship, which you will need to transport goods and gain money. With the earned money you can buy better ships and the whole game adds up more and more.

Here are a few more details from the author:

Ports of Call DS is now in beta testing and most of the bugs are ironed out. I still have a very irritating bug to hammer out. This one causes your ship to crash in a harbor when a few very special conditions are met. I am now able to reproduce the bug and thats 90% of solving it.
