Port of LOVE for NDS? Is it possible?

Post by MrMcTiller »

I've seen the ports for the Switch and for the 3DS, but is there one for NDS? If not, how would I go about making it?

Porting it 1:1 is near impossible due to the 4mb of ram the nds has. Implementing even a small subset of the api would requre a full rewrite because most libraries used by LÖVE have no nds ports.

In short its simply not practical.

LÖVE is efficient but that's about what an empty LÖVE games uses I think, if you want to develop anything for the DSi you're better off doing something more low level or using something that's built for that platform.
