    I have a friend. All he wants to do is play Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (SNES) on his DS Lite.

    He asked me to tell him what he should buy. Since I don't have experience in this area, I'm asking everyone for their recommendations (especially you Mr. Hanky) so my friend can do this in the most optimized way possible.

    SNES play is not determined by the hardware, it is the software, it runs pretty much the same on any device that can load it.

    SNES is not yet very good on the DS and only a handful of games work, i'm pretty sure that the Super Mario RPG won't be one of them.

    What a bummer, I figured this lol. Thanks, I'll tell my friend the bad news. It is worse for him too, he had a downgraded PSP that broke on him, he could of used that for this.

    Has anyone actually attempted to do this yet?

    My friend still wants to try!

    Why not just get a SNES emulator for your computer and then play it on there?? Unless he strictly wants it for the DS. I miss those side scrolling games so much, i bought the DS cuz of the new super mario and then i downloaded all the old emulators..SNES, Genesis...and i've been playin the old Yoshi's island..haha.

    My friend uses his computer for professional business and doesn't want to do anything to it that might hurt it.

    Could someone please just try to run the SNES Mario RPG on their DS and tell me if it works or not?

    Title: Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
    ROM Name: Super Mario RPG - Legend of the Seven Stars (U) [!].smc

    Running failed due to inability to allocate memory; using SNEmulDS on M3 DS Simply.

    It's a complex game so I'm not surprised. :(

    So the snes is limited on the DS? How about the snes on the PSP, does it fare better? I play most of the classics snes games on my ps2 mod.

    SNES emulation on the PSP is much much better than on the DS, with most games working perfectly. I'm pretty sure the ROM mentioned above will work on the PSP but i havn't played it myself.
