My brother is home from boarding school for the holidays, he has a Nintendo DS with a special game that reads SD cards called the R4, my brother said: Wouldn't it be cool to emulate Mac OS X on the DS.
I have OS 8 emulated on my PC, so I found the some specs for the DS on the internet.
CPU - 67 MHz
RAM - 4 Mb
Resolution - 256/192 + 256/192
Using these specs I converted Basilisk II Mac OS 8 emulator to run with this mode. It caused the screen to go all black and white. The DS runs a certain format of program different to a computer, but most of the games use C++ so a pc program could be converted to DS. Windows XP uses .exe and Nintendo DS uses .ds/.zds
I (With my brothers help, probably mostly my brothers help) converted the instant launch of OS 8 on Basilisk II to .ds and copied the files (50 MB all together) on the R4. We plugged it in and tried opening the application. The most spectacular display of colours appeared on the top screen and the OS 8 GUI appeared on the bottom screen. The mouse didn't move though. So we got hold of the DS GDk and opened our OS 8, we managed to use the touch screen as the mouse and the top screen we change to the Mac OS console. The only problem is that we don't have a keyboard
We copied what we have done onto the R4 and the results:

I will upload the file soon.
