What do you think`s the likelihood of an FME being written sometime in the not-too-distant future for the latest lot of handhelds? Personally I`d love to play them (even if it`s just the classic display) on a Nintendo DS as it`s touch screen would be ideal for it.

What`s your thoughts on it?

...Because this is a closed source project (unlike the open source of many other emulators), it can't simply be 'ported' onto another console, a whole new emulator would have to be written.

And then the graphics.
Dear god...The graphics...
I really don't know how we'll be able to see the alphas or 7 segment displays on out gameboys. However, I'm more than happy to see them on out TV plug in games! :D

This is a site for EMULATION purposes of older machines. Not playing strategies.
If you are more interested in playing modern machines,
visit Jackpottyforums

(DOND is around now on this site..... How long was this sig out of date...!)

I don't know, something like the DS would be more than adequate for most lo-techs :)
