DS2x86 0.5 Alpha for Supercard DSTwo

[Buleste]

Just to let those of you know who have the Supercard DSTwo for the DS, the latest version 0.5a of this DOS emulator has just been released and Frontier works!!!! Well almost. It plays the into animation and then crashes when you try to select where to start from but it is a major leap forward.

Interesting news. If they can get DOS emulation running then it will allow a huge number of games to run. Is there anyone working on a DOSBox port for the card? Or maybe if this emulation is successful then someone will.

I'm currently using a AceKart 2i at the moment with my DS, but it is tempting to get a Supercard DSTwo for the emulators. Are there any new carts in development? Or is this going to remain the best for some time to come?

It's the one with the CPU on the card, so I guess it will be the best one for quite a while.

I'm just wondering if a DSTHREE is in development. I did see the other day a new firmware release was out for the DSTWO, so it's good to see it still being actively developed.

How easy is firmware updates on that card?

I never updated mine so far. When I bought it (christmas), I put 15 games to it for my girlfriend, and she still plays the same ones, mainly 2-3 different ones. I only played Zoo Keeper so far on it for 30 minutes, that was the only thing. At least every game we tested worked fine. I think that emulators and updates are less important for me, because anyway I won't almost use it at all.

I'm surprised you haven't tried any of the RPGs on the DS yet DC.
