State of Nintendo DS port

SDL Development
1

Hello. I am developing a game and I am using SDL for it, and with partial success, I was able to port it to Playstation 2 and Nintendo DS. Both have non-functional Mixer, but what is bugging me is joystick not owrking in DS (probally due to changes in devkitpro and libnds).

So, my questions are:

  • is there anyone using SDL with DS and have a working Mixer and joystick? (so I can try to use the same old versions os DS libraries)
  • does this port have a maintainer or is abandonware?

If not one is working on it, and I find a way to fix some of it’s problems, I’m willing to send patches, just need to know if there is some interest on it, or DS port is considered to be dead in 1.3 version and I’ll just loose time by fixing it on 1.2.

Thanks in advance.------------------------

Yes, there is devkitPro and libNDS, found in http://www.devkitpro.org/.
The DS have two processors, an ARM7 and an ARM9.

You can also find information in http://www.dsdev.org------------------------

i’m interested in sdl on nds but i never had time to actually use it
imho you should move all your development efforts to 1.3
i believe sdl 1.2 has now come to an end now
