Linux Coming to the Nintendo DS

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the handheld-servers dept.

GamersZion writes "A recent IRC conversation with ChaosKnight, a member of the DS Linux development team, revealed information about the status of the DS Linux project. 'It was a bit tough to get the ball rolling, but with PassMe fully functional and everything starting to fall in order, I wouldn't be surprised to see an alpha release within the next month.' While little information is being revealed about the release of this anticipated software, it looks like we can be expecting it sometime in the short future."

  1. Maybe I should tell this to my friends. by Patrick+Mannion · · Score: 0, Redundant

    There's too kids at my school, maybe I should bribe them into installing DS Linux. Because I know I'm not getting a DS for a while.

    Actually I am really looking forward to this, the hardware basically is the same you need for a PDA, add to that linux opie and you have some kind of Zaurus. Once they figure out on how to access the wireless hardware you even can do wlan synching. In the end the DS might end up as entry PDA without any doing from nintendo.
