Windows ported to the DS!

It's true... well, kinda. If you're into the homebrew stuff you should definately check this out!

NDS WinS is an API for the Nintendo Dual Screen. This is a port of the famous GBA WinS first coded by Francesco Napolitano and is still available at gbawins.com. However, NDS WinS is NOT a direct port of GBA WinS. NDS WinS currently has the following features in addition to GBA WinS's features:

• 100% Touch Screen Integration which means:
  • Drag-able and Resize-able Windows
  • On-Screen vKb (virtual Keyboard) for easy text editing
  • Clickable Buttons and other Controls
• Cool new Application Lunching system ? Icons
• On-Screen Real-Time-Clock
• Can hold ANY GBA WinS application

Please note that NDS WinS can run any application coded and compiled correctly using any compiler. The applications at this stage built in and must be pre-compiled with the NDS WinS and WGL (WinS Graphic Library) libraries.

But NDS WinS doesn't stop here. Future plans include a File System using a Computer-based program to inject files, WiFi usage, various document viewers (including text, pictures and even music-formats like MP3 and low-resolution MPEG's), a Web Browser, Instant Messengers (MSN Messenger, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger), IRC and... a use for the second screen

Currently, NDS WinS includes a variety of freeware demos. Paint, a calculator, a puzzle game and more. If you have everything needed, be sure to click here and check it all out for yourself.
