Nitrografx, a a DS-based port of the Game Boy Advance PCEAdvance emulator, is the work of Fredrik “Flubba” Olsson, whose website proudly displays the use of his PocketNES emulator in official GBA collections by Hudson, Jaleco, and Atlus. First released on March 19, The latest version of the PC Engine/Turbografx-16 emulator even adds support for CD-ROM games!

Between this and the breakthrough of GBA emulation on a DS flashcart, the DS has become way more awesome for people who like old games. Sorry, people who live in places where it’s a crime to own a flash cart. :(

Speaking of crimes, while this is super cool on a technical and conceptual level, I’m way too nervous and law-abiding to actually look for PC Engine ROMs to run on this thing. I’ll just appreciate it from a distance. Or maybe play these public domain ROMs.
