About Shooting Watch: Hudson’s idea for Shooting Watch first came about after some kid at the Caravan tour saw Takahashi Meijin’s button pressing skills, the kid sent him a letter asking exactly how fast his finger speed was. So they measured it and it came out at 16 shots a second, this is where Meijin’s nickname


“16Shot” was born.

Game Modes: 5 modes in all are featured in Shooting Watch DS to try and resemble the original modes along with extra modes that are found in flash games found on the internet. Due to the DS’s unique feature of a touch screen, we thought it would be good to let you navigate and play using the stylus aswell so this has also been implemented.

davr ported “Torlus’s KVM port to GBA” and used that as a base for getting it to work on DS. Right now, when it starts, you pick a .class file, and it will run it!

The main problems with Java on DS:
1. Interpreted languages are slower, the overhead is bad on a slower embedded platform
2. No direct memory access. Almost all of the DS hardware is interfaced by reading and writing directly to specific memory locations
3. No primitive unsigned 8-bit types. What were they thinking?

Thanks for davr himself for the news!
