PAlib's DS Development Wiki
Welcome!
PAlib is a Nintendo DS library used to create homebrew games. It is designed to be used easily by anyone. To run these games on an NDS, you’ll need a flashcart, such as an R4, M3 or CycloDS. If you don’t have one, you can still test your work with an emulator (No$GBA is the best, DeSmuME is also worth considering too). Have fun!
If you have any questions, you can post it on PAlib's forums. Also, if you are looking for a list of the PAlib functions, with detailed explanations, I recommend searching in the official PAlib Documentation
Request List If you have feature requests or found some bugs, please post them here and I’ll do my best...
