Any DS coders here?

Kind of liking this Homebrew DS coding.  I love the framebuffer mode. It's like TPTC on the DS.

I'm not into DS coding, but it's something I'd like to learn about.

Where would be a good place to start?

(edit) Sorry, I've asked this question before, and got a good answer. I'll follow it up.

relsoft:
I just read some docs on the net and downloaded the DevkitPro package.  The example files there are easy to follow.

I've uploaded some NDS files along with sources and screenshots....

BTW, to try this on Windows or DOS, you can DL the No$GBA emulator for free here, then load the NDS file.

I'll download the emu and give these a go!
Nice to see you coding btw dude :)

All the very best,
Clyde.

Yeah, it's been a while since I last coded something worthwhile.  My daughter was actually the one who motivated me to learn DS coding as she wanted me to make a game on the DS. Nut its more likely that I'll be making a demo first. :)
