C++ to create a Game for Nintendo DS

Question

Well, I'm trying to do a small game for DS-DSi in C++. Just for fun and feel happy.

I was wondering if there is any guide or I could get some help with getting started. I have no clue how it works or how to make it boot on the DS.

Thanks~

I suggest getting a nds flash cart, like the cycloDS (for the DS) or an R4i (for the DSi). Thats how you can run your creations on the actual device.

Here is a good list of tutorials starting from the beginning (setting up your environment, getting the armKit etc) on DS development.

Well i did it, i included all files on VC include folder. i do #include and it includes, also appears with autocomplete. but when i do videoSetMode() (If i'm correct it was that) it gives error. O_o – Kazuma Mar 01 '11 at 20:26
Hmm well I hope you figure the error out. I had no issues when i set it up, it was about a year or so ago. – Loktar Mar 01 '11 at 21:10

Now this leads to a "Your computer has been infected with a virus" scam. – anonymous Jun 16 '17 at 21:28
