    That will not run on a pocket PC. I doubt pocket PCs have enough cpu power to emulate a DS.

    Apparently this is the only working one-the first 4 results that said something confirmed this...but I can't try it out.

    Best bet is to download it-scan it-and pray that it works.

    actually, emulation isn't all about CPU power.
    normally counts that a device needs to be at least 8 times as powerfull to emulate a system.
    the PPC however could be an exception since the majority of the ppc's run on ARM (ARM11 often)
    an upgraded version of what the DS runs on.

    same reason why a PSP gets away with emulating a system with only 3x the power(N64&PSX)

    most CPU time is lost in translating stuff from 1 CPU language to another, but if both use almost the same "language" there's barely any translation needed cutting down on CPU usage a lot.

    This is not true at all. There is no rule, additionally, not all PPCs run arm, quite a lot of them run motorola processors.

    PPCs cannot run windows executables.
