Doing it right would be a BBC-B emulator surely?

There's also a couple of GBA remakes of Elite that can be run on the DS (they only use the top screen of course).

And here's one to wet your appetite:

What... what?

"Load New Commander"?

Does that mean... load an old game, or start a new one?

IIRC:

Y = Load old game
N = Start new game

Whoever said Slitherlink was like crack wasn't kidding around. I hate puzzlers but I CANNOT BE STOPPED with this. Tracing the pen round in one go to form a full line is (rare but) immensely rewarding.

Best game on the DS IMO. Only got the really big grids left to solve now.

Has anyone picked up Mario Strikers yet? I'm vaguely tempted, but the prospect of playing against Ian Wright has put me right off.

Don't add his friend code then.

Now I am loving that Speccy emu but does anyone else find the calibration of the touch screen to be shockingly bad?

Really hard to press the right keys sometimes and the number of times I've hip Change Controller instead of Load isn't funny. To properly hit Load I have to jam the stylus right up against the top edge.

Just ordered an R4 and associated gubbins. It should be here in the next day or two.

I've also just spent ages trying to get my DLink router to work with the DS Wifi stuff. I had to flash the firmware with an Australian version, as that's the only one that will work with both UK DSL and set the wireless speed low enough to talk to a DS. The update utility was very temperamental and it took around 20 attempts before it took. The updater was Windows only, so I've had to borrow a laptop to get it to work.

The only problem now is that the only wireless game I currently own is Final Fantasy III, and that's useless without a friend code.
