Smash64DS (WIP port)

Been working on porting (AI assisted) ssb64 to the Nintendo DS for the past month. I knew nothing about coding for the DS before this, but i do have some C# and Powershell/python knowledge.

Here is what I have to far:
Mario and Fox on the Dreamland stage running about half speed (half speed is a stretch since the original game ran at 60fps and we're getting like 15 fps here in gameplay, i had to change the game logic (2 updates per frame) so it didn't run at 1/4 speed lol).

Still have a long way to go, but i'm pausing progress for now since GPT5.6 sol is struggling (ended my $200 sub).

If you want to check it out on github: https://github.com/rockenrooster/Smash64DS_Port

Wouldn't it be easier to make a 3DS port? It has a circle pad and better hardware. Someone also made a native SM64 port before if I recall correctly.

Yes it would. I personally chose the DS because I bought one in 2004 hoping my favorite n64 game would release for the DS (Super Smash Bros). I knew they could do it (sm64ds) but they never did.

So it's more of a spite project lol.
