xU4 for Nintendo DS! I wonder how difficult it would be to port xU4 to work Nintendo DS. Some guy managed to port Exult for the PSP and there was some news that a Nintendo DS version was in the works. It would be amazing to be able to play U4 whilst on the move!

Unlikely.

DS doesn't have a very strong homebrew community, so it's difficult to do anything with it.

But it might be possible with a skilled coder who could make a custom keyboard for the touchscreen...

I'd rather see a PSP port though, honestly.

PSP is much easier to port things to, and all you'd really need to do is map keyboard commands to button presses, or reroute them to a menu system, liek the NES version...

PSP version could also use custom MP3 soundtracks...

You could use music from the Ultima 5 Lazarus project.

actually, the ds has quite a strong homebrew scene. making a custom keyboard on the touchscreen is probably the simplest part of getting xu4 to run on the DS - ie. d-pad for move, x/y etc. for common commands (ie. board ship, open chest, attack, cast..), top screen showing game window and bottom screen showing keyboard. ds version could also use custom mp3 soundtracks. not to be rude, but do you know what you're talking about?

would make dialog easier also as no need to reprog. a menu system.

if you want to play it that way i suggest you try emulating the nes or sms versions, something that can be done on both systems easy.

though i'm keen to see a xu4 port.
