Nintendo DS and Neural Networks

Question

Hello, i was wondering if DS`s hardware is capable of running a game that utilizes a feedforward neural network using genetic algorithms. I know that this has to do with the implementation of the homebrew game as well as the nn and the ga, but i am curious...

(i know nothing about how the DS`s ARMs are used, etc, etc, etc)

Thanks in advance :-)

Answer 1

Yes, devices like the Nintendo DS are plenty powerful enough for this sort of thing. I haven't worked with the Nintendo DS specifically, but I have written a neural network character recognition app for a Windows Mobile smartphone, which is comparable in processing power.

As you mention, it all depends upon how you write it. You could just as easily write something that doesn't work on the Nintendo DS.
