MarcaDS v4.0 arcade emulator homebrew for Nintendo DS

Alekmaul‘s MarcaDS is an emulator for arcade games for the Nintendo DS. The list of supported games is quite long (you can check the gamelist.txt file that’s included in the download file below).

Here’s what’s new in MarcaDS v4.0 (as taken from Alekmaul’s readme):

New design (thanks again Lobo) and new logo (thanks to you too DayDream)
Add SN76496 and AY-8910 sound emulation, lots of games have now sound.
Solomon’s key do not have any more background pb.
Add Video Hustler, The Billiards, DigDug (2 sets), Hexa, Bank Panic.
Galaga (and clones) is playables.
Pinball Action is now playable.
The background pb in Phoenix (and clones) is fixed.
Also for 1942 background pb !
Add compressed ZIP support.
Add CRC checking to avoid compatibility problems.
Add Hish score management.
SELECT to add coins (A becomes the main shoot button).
No more “Player 2” mode.
No more clones (less games but only the originals ;)).
Mario becomes Masao to have the sound.
Ms Pacman becomes Ms Pacman (bootleg) and the zip file mspacmab.zip.
Piranha becomes Piranha (hack) and the zip file piranhah.zip.
Jr Pacman becomes playable.
Fire pb in Arkanoid fixed.
Using now EFSLIB, thanks Noda ;).

So that’s a lot of changes from when MarcaDS v3.0 came out last year!

As always, please read the readme text before you install the application.

And yes, since this is an arcade emulator, you’re going to need uncompressed (unzipped) ROMs. But, as Alekmaul says (and we echo the sentiment): “Do not ask me about ROMS, I don’t have them.”
