I wonder if you have ever actually ported anything ? Porting is not a pluggable technology and there are many problems to solve in the code it'self. It's not as simple as flicking a few compiler switches. Building the example provided with the dstwo sdk has had me deep in the full make and gcc manuals, andd the c++ code. I'm starting simple but I might come up with a more up to date build of mame one day for the DS eh ?
