This has now been superseded by https://github.com/FluBBaOfWard/K80DS.
This is a Double Dribble - Arcade emulator for the NDS. It has no tile priority support. You should still be able to enjoy the game though. =)
- Create a "acDS" directory either in the root of your card or in the data directory (eg h:\data\acds). This is where settings and save files end up.
- Now put ddribble.zip into a folder where you have (arcade) roms.
- Depending on your flashcart you might have to DLDI patch the emulator.
When the emulator starts, you can either press L+R or tap on the screen to open up the menu (the emulator tries to load Double Dribble automagically on startup). Now you can use the cross or touchscreen to navigate the menus, A or double tap to select an option, B or the top of the screen to go back a step.
To select between the tabs use R & L or the touchscreen.

Some dumb info about the game and emulator...

probably never have been made.
