Nintendo DS is not an OS, nor is computer related (see section title of "Not Quite Amiga but still computer related category").  Perhaps it belongs in the Coffee House/General or somehing.

Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

Not computer related?

See here:- www.dslinux.org

...

In theory AROS could be ported to it.

A small linux kernel + sdl + E-UAE would make an excellent portable amiga games player.



DSLinux doesn't exist.  Nor does a Linux + SDL + UAE that would fit into 4MB of RAM.  In theory lots of things could be ported to it.  But, for now there are no homebrew cards, so you'd need an official Nintendo SDK.

It has dual ARM CPUS's.


Which can not be used at the same time.  In DS mode the ARM9 is used.  In GBA mode, the ARM7 is used.  Either way a ~66MHz ARM9 is nothing to get excited about.  A modern PDA is much more capable, and has RAM!

All of this doesn't matter because the link was just about a NDS game site.

The CD32 is a striped down computer, so it would make sense that it is capable of having an OS.  But, that's besides the point.  The DS is not Amiga, nor computer related.  This post is off topic no matter how you try to argue it.

You choose! ;-)


I'd choose the AmigaOS 2.0 because it can play games.  (On a game system this is kind of important. :-))

If AROS could be ported then that would be great.  But, 4M of RAM isn't going to do much still.  I would expect a port to the GP32 first since it has freely available SDKs.  (And, although it's ARM9 is an older variant, it's adjustable clock can reach well over 133MHz)
