I was asked recently what resources I use as references while developing Nintendo DS homebrew.

As such I’ve decided to collect my favorite links in a single post for your enjoyment.  ( Please keep in mind that I am also new to the Ninendo DS development scene, and as such this post is by no means a complete list of all of the resources available to you. )

If you know of any killer resources that I’m missing please feel free to let me know and I’ll add them to the list.

 Hardware References:

• NDSTech Wiki - The de-facto Nintendo DS Hardware Doc.
• GBATek Specifications - The de-facto GBA Hardware doc (with some NDS thrown in for good measure)

Tutorials: 

• dev-scene. com tutorials - The official dev-scene. com tutorials. Incomplete but thorough.
• PataterSoft Introduction to NDS Programming - A step-by-step introduction to Nintendo DS 2D game development with examples.

Library References:

• libnds documentation - Libnds documentation as generated by doxygen. Excellent autodocs.

Communities:

• dev-scene.com
• Drunken Coders - The guys who brought you many (if not all) of the nds-examples code!

That’s all I’ve got for now. If you feel I’m missing something important please let me know!

Code away.
