    that video looks fake to me. I dont think DS is powerful enough to emulate N64, but if it was, then the G6 or M3 etc used to run it would start up automaticaly, rather than him starting teh game from DS's startup screen. Also, it showed him using the stylus for the menus, and for any emulated game of an older console, you cant use the stylus.

    someone probably got wise and recorded a video of them playing an n64 version of zelda, and then made it into a DPG. Why else can we not see the bottom half of the screen?

    The DS does not have the processing power of the N64

    Ya no chance of that being real, the PSP can barely do N64 and that is vastly more powerfull than the DS.

    The DS is more powerful than an N64 (hence the port of Mario 64 being so much better looking) but the power required to emulate a N64 system is much, much more than what the DS can handle.

    dang it, well I reckon N64 could be emulated on DS Somehow, N64 only uses 64 bit graphics, DS uses about 128 bit usually. and the RAM differences also apply.

    the DS will most likely not be able to have an N64 emulator.
