The Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time, DS game ever be possible

xeladosFor instance, the SNES couldn't emulate the NES directly,

Actually, it can. There is a software mode switch in the CPU that makes it function identically to the nes cpu, only 2mhz faster.

He said emulate. What you just said is like saying the DS can emulate the GBA because it can use its ARM7 processor to play GBA games.

it's emulation in hardware as opposed to in software. Not separate dedicated hardware.

We were discussing software emulation and how the SNES was not powerful enough to emulate the NES. Xelados's point was correct in context.

no one was talking about emulation...until Yoshi appeared. :)

Haha, good point.

FredboxHe's talking about an official remake by nintendo, not an emulator or some kind of converter. The DS is in some ways more powerful than the N64, so it could be possible. Please read things more carefully, and don't comment when you're not sure what you're talking about.

rootwo62well the title explains my question but here's my answer to my question if anyone has any other thoughts please share.I think its totally possible for the ocarina of time and majoras mask to be remade by nintindo for the ds because kh 358/2 days has the best graphics for a ds game (MY OPINION) and its game engine in general is great i know that it wasnt created by the same people but things could happen i mean the original kindom hearts idea came up in a elavator.

xeladosThe DS can handle OoT (MAYBE MM), but imagine the controls! Could be a bit tricky.As far as the technical problems, there wouldn't be any. I can't think of a really intensive part of OoT that would actually push the system. None of OoT pushed the N64 to any limits. MM, however, did.

Sorry-but emulation is simply not possible.The ds is actually weaker than the old playstation-it can't run it...But if nintendo spent the time to do a revamp like resident evil ds (a playstation port) then prehaps...BUT-they won't.It's on the virtual console-it'll be cheaper to buy that than a ds cart-and nintendo doesn't like making a home game portable for some reason.It's a nice thought but no-WON'T HAPPEN!If it does-I'll use peach as my avatar :)

^I`m looking forward to it,dear. ;D

mds64: I never claimed the DS was capable of emulating the N64. It cannot be done. It is more powerful than the N64 in certain areas (mostly effects, as the 64 beats the DS in both resolution and polys, and both have the same RAM until the 64 uses the Expansion Pak), but in order to get a 64 game on the DS, it must be ported. One would think this is obvious.Nintendo wouldn't want to make a home game portable? Need I point out that every Super Mario Advance game is a GBA port of an SNES home console game (as SMA1 and 4 are the All-Stars versions)? Also, Super Mario 64 DS. Even Ubisoft did it with the Rayman 2 port called Rayman DS. My point is that Nintendo will definitely jump at the opportunity to make a popular, older game portable, even if they have to go through the extra work to port it.Loonylion: Interesting tidbit about the hardware emulation mode. I was indeed talking about software emulation, though. Do you know which games used that switch, and why?

Aurrgg...

I don't know if it was ever used or not, I just know its there. SNES had a lot of advanced capabilities that were very rarely, if ever, used in games.

Haha! I just unpacked a DS rom with DSLazy... Wait, how did... YOU CAN ASK Nintendo TO MAKE A GAME!

what???incedible:O(suprised) how can this be sent request from facebook hahahha

(huge zelda fan but anyway), I have a hard enough time playing with the classic controller on my Wii, thinking about using that tiny d-pad to do such things is scary.NOT TO MENTION, they are still sorta making money on OOT and the other zelda games using the Wii and its Wii-points. Making a remake would take from those profits and cost alot in development causing them to probably end up cutting even thus making it not worth it on nintendo's side.It CAN be done, it wont be done. Atleast not by Nintendo, some fan boy might make a team and do it one day but yeah. Nintendo's main dev team is working on the zelda wii game right now and by the time that ones finished sales of DS games will be so low Nintendo will end up sending out a new handheld, not a remade/upgrade but a new one.Thinking about having all the zelda games on my DS, atleast up till the N64 sounds pretty damn sweet but its just a dream, Im happy having them on my Wii, and id rather play it on my big ass TV than a handheld mini screen anyway. (not to mention the lack of a joystick)

YoshiFlipIt isn't possible to run N64 on DS/DSL/DSi so it is IMPOSSIBLE! There are thousand of threats that tell this, likely: https://www.romulation.org/forum/index.php?topic=25081.msg403726#msg403726 Go read in that one if you are programmer, maybe you can make one n64 emu, but now it is IMPOSSIBLE!

Then I would be a good idea like Super Mario 64 DS. A kind of port....And if they made it I would wait for the rom.Would it be possible for Majora's Mask too?

Definitely not, MM wont even work on a stock N64.

everything's possible for nintendo

Replying to #57

thats a very naive view.

SOMEWHAT everything... They cannot build another planet :P

nothing's impossible for nintendo
