Mr.Spiv is a guy who saw the need for more Mac support in the GBA and NDS dev communities and took it on himself to provide a few solutions. He compiles devkitPro and libnds for Mac kiddies as well as making linker software. He is currently working of some NeoFlash linker software for the Macintosh.

jstart's Mac OS X Nintendo DS Development Page

jstart is an ambitious little dude who is working on a real-time strategy game engine. I’ve been helping him out for some time. He is currently alpha testing the Patater GUI Kit. He uses a Macintosh and has made some Xcode templates and mac specific tutorials.

DSEmu

I believe this is the premiere emulator at the current time. You Macintosh users may be happy to hear that this one runs in Virtual PC, unlike some other emulators. Let’s all hope Doublec and the crew make this baby last. Open source forever!

DeSmuME

The first emulator to support 3D.

Dualis

This emulator is still in use too. Quite popular. The thing with current development on the DS is that if it doesn’t work in one emulator, it might work in another. SO its nice to have a collection of Nintendo DS emulators. This one is a good add to that collection.

HyperDS

Firefly was working on this one for a while, but since he can only do one project at a time, he decided to dump it and developed WiFiMe and WMB software and the like.

Nintendo DS Emulator

A site deticated to covering the status of many Nintendo DS emulators.

PENIS

This is a penis emulator. It’s fun.

iDeaS

Yet another emulator for the Nintendo DS. This emulator also works under Virtual PC (for those Mac heads).

An excellent resource for learning how sound works on the Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo DS. You’ll be making your GBA or NDS speak in no time.

Drunken Coders' GBA Tutorials

Formerly known as The Pern project (Nintendo Reverse Engineering Project spelled backwards, so it ends up being “Project Engineering Reverse Nintendo Project”. Notice the two Project words? Odd isn’t it. I’m guessing that’s why they renamed it. Enough of this talking within parenthesis. I’m out.).

GBA ASM Tutorials

I heard that gbaguy was shutting down his site soon, just contact me whenever this happens or you find a mirror. I could mirror it myself too (as I snagged myself a copy before he disappeared).

GBA ASM Tutorials - Ye Olde Version

TONC: GBA Hardware

The classic Game Boy Advance tutorial. Covers a wide range of topics and techniques. Good for both newbies and intermediate programmers. This is an absolute must read.

Here, loopy publishes images of his iQueDS as he takes it apart to show you what’s inside. He proves that there is no extra RAM inside, despite StoneCypher’s persistence that it exists. Maybe it does exist, maybe it doesn’t. Find out for yourself.

Natrium42's Serial Interface for PassMe

Natrium42 has proven himself a genius once again with this little hack. It’s a serial interface for the Nintendo DS via PassMe. It seems he has already created some GPS software, as well as establishing bluetooth communication to his computer.

Nikkei

“Electronics’ Nintendo DS: The Secrets Within”

Nintendo DS Firmware Dumper

Natrium’s classic firmware dumper.

Nintendo DS Spinner/AD Convertor

This little device is absolutely incredible. I won’t even attempt to describe how amazing it is. It’s more amazing than the fact that Snape killed Dumbledore.

Nintendo Save Game Reader

Ever wanted to manage multiple saves for a game, see what it was like to get all 150 stars in Super Mario 64 DS without actually earning them? This little hardware device is the tool for you. Now you won’t have to worry about your little sibling erasing your save games ever again. This device is a Nintendo DS save game reader. And if you know Japanese, you can build one too.

A Japanese online game store. Wide selection of all sorts of goodies.

IC2005 IT Shop

Sells a lot of NeoFlash stuff (MK2 and MK3, etc.) and also deals in NGC Phantom Modhips. Not too expensive either. A nice shop.

Kick Trading - Canadian

These guys sell affordable flash carts and the Supercard, which may end up being a nice commercial cart. Suggested if you are in North America looking to buy a flash cart.

Lik-Sang.com

One of my favorite Hong Kong import shops.

PassMe - Lynx's dspassme.com

This is the place where I bought my multiple PassMe devices. Quality service and products. My PassMe still worked great, last time I used it.
Support homebrew! Buy from dspassme!

Play Asia

Another one of my favorite Hong Kong import shops.

Success-HK

A nice Hong Kong import shop.

TampaBayMods

A company out of Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, that will mod your game console for a variety of purposes. They mod Nintendo DS systems too.

TotalGBA

You could buy a flash cart from these guys. Last I checked, they only sold those hokey XG carts that I’m not much of a fan of.

Video Games Plus Online - Canadian

A Canadian store to buy flash carts and other fun stuff.

Winsunx Production

It almost sounds like Winsux, which would mean that Windows sucks, which is true. So I put the link here. Plus they sell stuff related to game development.

Zuiderpark Computers & Games

A dutch retailer dealing in games and all sorts of other electronic goodies.

eCOST.com

Decent online store.

linker4u

The professional way to run homebrew software and unsigned wmb code.

FlashMe - Lynx's Tutorial

Information about the PassMe presented in Japanese.

Yet another method of running homebrew on the DS. May or may not require FlashMe (anybody care to enlighten me?).

WiFiMe - List of compatible cards

Check here to see if your wifi card is compatible with WiFiMe. If its not, consider buying one of these cards if you want to do WiFiMe.

WiFiMe - WMBFront

A graphical front end to wmb.exe. Useful to those people who don’t care to use the commandline much, are scared to use the commandline, or are otherwise impaired.

MapEd

A nice map and tile editor for GBA. Doesn’t take much to make it work with the NDS.

Mirach

The world reknowned tile and map editor. Quite delicious.

NDS Disassembler

The website may be in Japanese, but what this software does will be important to all your English speakers out there. It takes an nds file and spits out assembly code, which shouldn’t be so foreign to you.

NDS Header Viewer

This software allows you to view the header of an nds file and see what little treasures await you.

NDS Model Viewer

Ever wanted to view all those cool models in a Nintendo DS game? Well, with this tool, you can! I know this works with Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt, let me know if it works with other games as well.

NDS Top System

I forgot what this piece of software did, and I currently don’t have an internet connection. Remind me to look this stuff up and fix this link description. Thanks.

Nintenren - Nintendo ROM Renamer with NDS support

I also forgot what this software does. I’m thinking it lets you rename and change the icon of an nds file, but I’m unsure. Make sure to let me know to fix this.

PictoSniff

I’m not sure this is the project’s homepage, but will keep the link there until somebody tells me otherwise. This program sniffs PictoChat traffic and displays it in a relatively easy to view fashion.

RGBCompare

A decent little utility that allows you to compare color inconsistencies between Nintendo DS color and computer color. Also outputs useful color snippets for coding with.

hConvert

Never use .h or .c files for binary data again! With this utility you can convert a C-style representation of binary data into REAL ACTUAL binary data.

The website to look up information of the various ARM processors (opcodes, clock and bus speeds, operating temperature, and much more information that you may never need to know, and more).

ARM Opcode Map

DSEmu presents us with a beautiful technical reference featuring the many opcodes of the ARM processor (both normal and thumb).
