[HOMEBREW] DDR for DS! Stepmania v0.00
STEPMANIA DS v0.00

A stepmania/ddr port to the Nintendo DS


Ok so tons of programmers have tried and failed. maybe this guy will give us hope.


Alright well some novice programmer by the name of Daren has decided to make a ds port for the popular dance game Stepmania. Coincidentally he is french too lol, just like the sc port developers... weird. i guess french people like programming ds games haha. Well hes uhh yeah some 21 year old programmer from Loire Valley so hopefully his novice knowledge in Java, c and c++ (lol mr wong) will yield good results.

Homebrew developer Daren just announced that they've released StepmaniaDS v0.00, a homebrewed version of stepmania for the Nintendo DS. Details on the engine itself are sketchy, since the release so far only has random arrows scrolling up (with no music) and a debug mode to try to get the software to know when you've synced your keystrokes with the moves on-screen.

StepmaniaDS is an early coded build, with no playable release yet. Though the current version looks very pretty with its graphics and such, we dont know if this project will ultimately be successful and if you can load on your favourite stepmania tracks onto it. The developer currently hopes to get a dancepad on the touchscreen with stylus recognition for the beta release. Currently the controls are like so:

Left arrow L
Down on D-pad
Up on D-pad
Right arrow R

OR

Y button for left
B button for right
X button for up
A button for down


DOWNLOAD:
Alright in the event you have an R4, Supercard, or any other flashcart, simply drop this into your microsd and try to run it using any didl patching. If it doesnt work, then please download DSorganize. (copy both the dsorganize folder + dsorganize.nds file into your microsd. Then select browser and choose to boot Stepmania.nds

PLEASE NOTE LATEST RELEASE IS A BUTTON DEBUGGER ONLY.
NO MUSIC OR GAME.

If you're a cheap person or unlucky enough to decide to buy an R4 when they're sold out practically everywhere (yes we're out of stock too) then use the no$gba emulator.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
Overall it looks like this is going to be a very nice little piece of homebrew that asians will keep in their ds's for a while. I guess single player will have to be achieved first before even stepping foot in the multiplayer aspect. If the arrow recognition programming is mastered and the ability to port the stepmania music files onto the ds, then this will really take off. Its been a while since the ds had any decent homebrew games. Wifi coop would be insane.

Starlite DS Project now cancelled.

StarLite v0.03

Starcraft port to the Nintendo DS
--- Project Cancelled. RIP 01.23.08 ---


Alright so i guess we all saw it coming... nobody can make a starcraft ds homebrew game and hope that blizzard doesnt notice XD They probably downloaded the beta versions to see how good it was looked hahaha. The Cease and Desist letter to these programmers after they recently updated to version 0.03 with multiplayer support.


The developers have posted on their site today saying this:
"For legal reasons, we must abandon this project."


They have now ripped down all traces of their unofficial DS port of Starcraft and i guess we had our hopes up for a while that maybe this homebrew could be successful or raise a flag to blizzard to start porting games to the ds already =P As a sidenote, since they got C&Ded does this mean that its illegal to be hosting these homebrew nds files now?

[HOMEBREW] Starcraft for DS! StarLite v0.01 BETA

StarLite v0.01

Starcraft port to the Nintendo DS


We all dreamed and talked about it... now its finally coming true n_n


Homebrew developers The StarDev just announced that they've released StarLite v0.01, a homebrewed version of Starcraft for the Nintendo DS. Details on the engine itself are sketchy, but indications from the developer's notes leads us to believe it is not simply a port of Blizzard's Starcraft to the Nintendo DS. In fact, StarLite appears to be a complete homebrew recreation of the game for Nintendo's dual-screen handheld.

StarLite version 0.01 is an early coded build, but it is the first playable release from The StarDev. Though the current version suffers from many bugs and hitches, the animations and implemented real-time strategy game mechanics stay completely loyal to the original.

However, StarLite has a long development road ahead of it, and The StarDev have announced that they are willing to hire two to three more developers into the team to speed up the process. They've also lined up goals for the next release, which include pathfinding and collision management, WiFi ad-hoc multiplayer for 2 player matches, and more buildings and units. The game is also playable over DS emulators, but the authors suggest you use NO$GBA - the only PC-based DS emulator known to the developers that plays StarLite's sounds correctly.

CURRENTLY v0.01:
- Use the touch screen to select units or draw squares to select groups.
- The location finding is pretty bad for scv building.
- Tap on an scv, a building, and a point on the map to build (no building ghosting yet).
- You can only make one marine at a time.
- Map boundaries have NOT been set. you can walk on space lol.
- SCV's can mine minerals and PSI/food also increases but isnt enforced.
- GLITCHES OFTEN! its a beta release sheesh get over it -_-

FINAL THOUGHTS:
Overall it looks like this is going to be a very nice little piece of homebrew that gamers will keep in their ds's for a while. I guess single player will have to be achieved first before even stepping foot in the multiplayer aspect. Personally i would have preferred for the basics to be figured out and then StarcraftDS to be full of UMS games. Single player seems way too tedious and programming all the units, their AI, sprite interaction, etc will probably cause this piece of homebrew to stop in its tracks.. not to mention the possibility that Blizzard might C&D them. Oh well, this little demo kept me intrigued for a bit, lets see how it does for you.
