GNOME Games: Make the Nintendo DS a First Class Citizen
Project Description
Goal of this project is to enable full support for Nintendo DS games in gnome-games. All the cool features of Nintendo DS such as,
- Dual Display with touch support
- Closing the lid to solve puzzles
- Screen Rotation
will be implemented in gnome-games which will give the user a console close feeling when playing games. Furthermore, as different games have different usages of the two screens, allowing the users to focus on the primary screen while showing the second one small/aside is another goal of the project.
