Project JDS is a handy package to help you learn the Japanees basics. With this you can learn back and from hiragana, katakana and romanji. There is an option to show nigori and/or the maru of characters if any. Seeing how it’s written, hear how it’s pronounced and make your own set on the fly.

ArchonDS – A remake of the original game from 1983 (Atari ST) with new graphics. It is a strategy & action game, the battle light vs. dark!

Release notes:

You can play 4 different arenes and 4 characters:

archer vs. basilisk @ forrest
wizard vs. basilisk @ desert
archer vs. dragon @ swamp
wizard vs. dragon @ snow

I also added a mosaic effect when you were hit by an enemy.

Now you can move the units on the lower screen with the stylus! I have filled the chessboard with all sprites, which I have made yet

Pong!

Game descripton from the author:

While it is just a chess game, I was getting a bit tired of the custom of just putting DS before or after everything, but if you want, just think of it as ChessDs.

The main change I’ve made to make between this and chess however, is that you don’t get checkmate to win, instead, the goal is just to take the opponent’s king.

This is a port of MegaZeux to the DS. Extract it to the root of your flash card so the files are in /games/megazeux. Apply the appropriate DLDI patch. Gameplay works for medium-sized worlds (~500KB). Larger worlds will run out of memory and crash.

MegaZeux, or MZX, is a game creation system (GCS) based on Tim Sweeney/Epic Megagames’ classic shareware game ZZT. MegaZeux was created in late 1994 by Gregory Janson, who formed his own company, Software Visions (now defunct). Like ZZT, MZX was originally released as shareware and the world editor portion of the program was included for free, allowing third parties to create their own worlds without even registering.
