DS on a cabinet

Can you post a step by step on how you got it running in Maximus Arcade?

I'm dying to have Contra 4 on my cab!!!!!!

A video "how to" would be amazing too.  I noticed you used the spectrum section (which is free on my maximus arcade).  Can you post what settings you used?

I'm stoked to see this is actually possible!  Now if I can get a simple "how to" on it in maximus arcade, I'd be even more stoked.

Thanks for your help!

Hey nickynooch... so I might not have time to do that this weekend.  But honestly, I just set it up like any other emulator. 

But first you have to setup no$zoomer and no$gba outside of maximus arcade.  Work on that first and then within no$zoomer you can set the options of no$zoomer  you can assign certain buttons on your cab do do the screen mainpultions.. ( I would do 2 buttons, one to break the screens, one to switch the screens apart, if you have some games that require the DS being rotated you can add 2  buttons more (for a total of 4) one to rotate the screen 270 degrees and one to change it back to the original orientation (0 degrees)

I'll see if I can do  a guide later on next week, I would also recommend changing the art with the theme editor so that instead of seeing the sinclair you see a DS image and logo

Thanks shattered! I'm gonna try to get it working on my cab this weekend.  If I get any good graphics done I'll post here or the maximus arcade forums.

I tried in the past to do it but it didn't work for some reason, so a tutorial would be greatly helpful!!! If I didn't see the video I wouldn't think it to be possible.

Why bother to get DS installed on the cab, due unique hardware DS hardware have? The Touchscreen is the major problem, if you don't have trackball and many games actually use that? DS is still in market fully and think its easier that way and DS emulators is still  far from perfection.

For extractly DS, its much more fun to playing games on the real hardware using a homebrew card and is easy to get these.

I did that, due I have created music for 3 homebrew DS games and hence was beta tester(Warhawk DS, Manic Miner DS and The Detective Game), so nothing piracy here, even most cards support commerciel games. The all use both screens and should not been been played on one screen at same time. None of these games do use the touch screen at all and hence I think they is very cab friendly.

Also Warhawk DS does not use gap, but Contra 4 does. Just bear that in mind, because it might look odd on some emulator, due gap between screen.
