Robot Odyssey DS: First screenshots

This is nowhere near ready for prime-time, but:

Yep, it’s Robot Odyssey for the Nintendo DS. I literally just got this working yesterday, so please don’t ask for any precompiled binaries. If you don’t already know where the source code is, you really don’t want to see it 🙂

Before you ask, this is not a general-purpose DOS emulator for the DS. It’s actually a static binary translator which does most of the work in porting a DOS game to the DS, but there’s still an awful lot of manual intervention required. I only really developed the translator with Robot Odyssey in mind, so there are sure to be features missing that you’d need in order to use it with other games.

My intent is to turn this into a real port of Robot Odyssey to the DS, not just an emulation. In particular, I’d like to re-do the load/save game UI to support timestamps and thumbnails, and I’d like a soldering mode that makes use of the DS’s touchscreen.
