S8DS is more or less a port of SMSAdvance to the NDS. It emulates the Sega Master System and the Sega Game Gear.

The biggest difference from the SMSAdvance is probably that you don’t have to use a builder to add roms, you can use zipped files directly and the screen doesn’t have to be scaled to fit.

Changes:

* Fixed Bios handling a bit (GG games works again).

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.

Hexxagon DS is a remake of an old DOS board game played on a hexagonal board. Each turn a player can move one of his own pieces by duplicating it onto an adjacent tile or simply jumping one tile further. All enemy pieces next to the piece just moved will change color and turn into the player’s pieces. Once the board becomes full, the player with most pieces wins.

Click a piece to select it an show all possible moves for this piece. Click on a highlighted tile to move or re-click the piece to deselect. For green outlines to piece will duplicate, for yellow outlines it will jump.

This is a preview release an does not contain all features of the final version.
