Downloaded Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow for NDS but can't find an emulator out there to play it, does anybody know if there is one that plays the actual DS roms instead of just playing PD roms. Im not asking for anything just a little heads up.

No emulators play commercial roms yet. None of them at all.

The guys behind iDeaS are working on gettong Castlevania running, but other then that no other news as far as I know.

Hey Thanks, now whoever is doing the emulators needs to hurry cause im getting tired of playing Castlevania on my DS i'd rather have full screen.

Hold your horses cowboy, patience is virtue.

And you wont get full screen on the emulators either.

It's just a small window.

In the mean time play it on the original hardware

It dawned me, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow is the only game worth
playing for the DS right, IMO at least. It's a direct sequel to Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow for the GBA which was soooo kickass. I have high hopes for it and enough cash to buy a DS, but I prefer a
PSP. So I could just wait for the emolators to start working kekeke.

Like other then this game, why is the DS worth buying over the PSP? PSP will kick ass too much I think.

There's a rumor about the DS releasing PDA software. That would really tip the balance. I think it's a bit early to see yet.

alot of people say that's what it was intended for anyway, the DS itself being a cover up for the GBA2 O_O of which no news has been posted... PDA software was bound to arrive anyway since the touchscreen was practically begging for it...

as we've seen from the rev. controller, nintendo is full of surprises

omg don't even get me started on the rev controller LMAO.
that thing looks like an anal probe with buttons wtf.

Sorry to tell you guys that, but the only official PDA software I have heard of on DS has seen its developpement stopped... sounds stupid, but that's how it is.

Now, Nintendo did see, a few days ago, for text recognition, so they might be doing a pda software themselves...

Honestly yous sony fanboys all same the same garbage. you say Dawn of sorrow is the only reason to own the console? I say Phoenix wright, Sonic Rush, mario and Luigi Lost in time,jump super stars and a crap load of others are 10x better than the crap sonys shoveling out for its handheld wow you got another damn GTA. yeah I'm sure my calculator will get a port of that sometime soon with some super ubber new way to jacks someone for their car.

as for the rev controller dont dis something till you tryed it. and give nintendo props for them trying to do something that SONY couldn't never dream of doing in a milion years. innovate the console market. all the DS,Cube,gba games I've played I have like every one. how many psp or PS2 owners can say that? aside from the usually FF,gta,dmc CLONES. Hell all of those above also have respective clones. and clones of clones. I'm not tripping on you I'm merely just frustrated with all the bashing of a console when the one people are boasting caters to people who want the same crap OVER and OVER again.

-Rant off-

u sound like a fanboy to me

He's right though.

I will admit that after reading my previous post my opinions do seem abit fanboyish. Im just being honest tho. I like the the ps and ps2. and even tho I dont liek alot of the franchised crap on it. It just sucks to hear a console get slamed for trying to be different. psp imo is a weaker system to the GBA and DS just because of the fact that they both have GOOD games. yeah your psp can play movies, apps and all that jive. but so can a decent PC, DVD player, VCR, etc. call me a fanboy all you want. Im just sayin what everyone else who knows gaming is thinking.

The only reason I have a psp is for emu's, music, and vids. I only bought one psp game in my life. That was MGAC!D which is probably the only good game out there next to Lumines (which is not worth buying it's addictive but not $40 addictive) and SFA3 (which if you don't have friends with psp's and sfa3 in them will get boring fast!).

So Kenshinsama is right, even the fan boys down here are starting to bash the psp because of it's lack of games.

Slightly off topic how is that? SFA3 for psp. havent had a chance to play my firends(its the only game he bought lol) the system has the potential to blow everything out of the water with its hardware. but if that was the case with anything MS would be winning the console war:P mind you I plan on getting a psp for some japanese titles. if its backwards compatible...or if theres something that will let me play import UMDs.

you bumped this topic for seamingly no reason, and im not even gonna get into the fact that there is pda software homebrew because somebody will post that because they think they are smart

odd, but... ok

if you like gimmicky odd weirdass japanese games, the DS has an advantage....and it's cheaper. actually, they both have their ups and downs.
I have a DS; it makes for a nice difference when one already has a ps2; and of course, the homebrew is nice, but so is it on psp.

Just so you all know, DeSmuME does play commercial games. It plays Polarium

(In French ) smoothly, but there is no sound. I also got it to play Wario Ware: Touched! but no sound and some bad graphics glitches... So while perfect DS emulation is still far, far away, there is hope for the masses.

But a cool small window.
(Yes, I quote October's posts in April)

hmm i know what you mean. It sucks using a tiny screen to play games on. I find Kirby Canvas Curse harder to play too because the screen is tiny.

you do realize that a game that Needs touchscreen functonality (like Castlevania) might not work on small screen right?


and btw there's hardware for the Ds to make it play music, and movies and emus and such, as well as free updates going to be released by nintendo giving it pda functionality.,

I have said this before: DeSmuME does play 'Polarium' (the French version at least) glitch free, but no sound. It also plays the intro to 'Wario Ware: Touched!' but nothing else.

doesnt an emulator run castlevania?

may be an old topic,but i wanna point out that NDS is already cheap,and the cheapest games are 35 dollars! if u cant afford that you are an
a:hobo
or b:hobo that has a house and a family and a tv and some games but apparently cant afford a DS.

PS:be patient for NDS emu if you are one of the above,dont complain,eventually you will get it free.

yes if you have soul seek you can get it off of me but i dont know the link to the web site
or if you have e-mail i could e-mail it to you but if soul seek is the case then my name is guyfox and im most likely in the gothic chat room and you can find it in the sk ul nds zip folder under no$gba
hopfully this helps you

2 year old topic dude.... pay attention.
