Smash 64 DS Port: bringing Super Smash Bros. 64 logic to Nintendo DS

Smash 64 DS Port brings reconstructed Super Smash Bros. 64 game logic from BattleShip to a Nintendo DS backend. Its build checks a user-provided North American ROM, regenerates assets locally, and produces a DS game image; the author reports playable campaign and local four-fighter matches, with performance and feature gaps.
