    Re: SEX! now that i have ur attention, is there a way to play ps1 games on the ds?

    Nope, there isn't. An emulator uses the system memory of the console. The memory of a DS isn;t big enough to load ps1 roms on to. It's impossible. But you could play them on your PC if you really want to.
    A DS can't even play GBA roms; they're too big.
    The only emulators available for DS are SNES (plays almost all roms) NES (all roms, i think) and Gameboy (color)

    Sorry to disappoint you mate. And SA sucked during the finals, but England even more.

    there is also a sega genesis emulator for the ds/ r4 card, called PicoDriveDS. It doesn't have sound, though. :-[

    Actually, I quite enjoyed the title. We probably have younger people running around though. :/

    ^Really?? It's just the opposite for me.

    Almost every NES rom works, but barely any SNES roms work very well.

    It has been edited so it's no longer stupid, just for the record.

    nesDS is the most amazing emulator I've ever seen! You can rewind "time". I've never seen something like that in any other emulator!

    Ahh just a correction the DS can play GBA roms. You just need ram (slot 2 device.)
