Is it possible to create a nintendo DS orbiter?
From what I know, the DS has a non-writing download speed of 128KB/s. So, assuming images of 128*64, 14-bit color for the media (generic icons for the UI), it can download 5.3 icons per second, therefore it is possible, but is there a wide enough userbase to warrant an orbiter? I know little about programming in C/C++, which is the only viable programming language for the DS. Just an idea. Another possible device is the PSP.

to have an orbiter, you must have access to

* WLAN
* Framebuffer
* Input device

So if the current DS homebrew technologies can handle this. An orbiter can be made for it.

For a discussion of the PSP as an orbiter check out:

It was a while ago and I haven't heard if they have released it.

its a uClinux port on the DS
seems to have SDL ported to it and also a useable framebuffer
i never thought about using it as an orbiter, but could be quite good.  I'll add it to my "someday list" Smiley
