Nintendo DS Games in HD

Here are comparisons between the original and in HD.
It looks nothing like an N64. It's more like a high-res PS1. It needs texture filtering for it to be N64 quality.

Oh what I wouldn't give for to have this on my cellphone
Been emulating Super Mario 64 DS (a game which I own so back off) on my cellphone lately and if you miniaturize the touch screen and set the controls to 'touch' all you have to do is roll your thumb around for damn good analog control. Thought it wouldn't work on a cellphone but it works delightfully well

Dreamcast?
This looks pretty damn good.
Same. Interested in messing around with this
Edit- it does my heart good to see people get up in semantics over what old system it evokes. Definetly not enough blur to be n64!

3DS is closer to a Dreamcast.
Games built for the ground up on Dreamcast were almost always pushing more geometry and using higher resolution textures than PS1/N64. Some of the extra power was also used towards physics and lighting.
Dreamcast looks way better.

seems like middle ground between PS1 and PSP

I would say the DS was more like what wouldve happened with the Sega Saturn and PS1's library had 3d not become so big

Some of those examples are crazy.
It's really sad to think that Nintendo won't have similar features in the Wii U DS virtual console.
Is that confirmed?
They have some very good software upscalers with the GBA VC on WiiU.

I actually love how these look. Super low poly graphics are so charming in HD with bucketloads of antialiasing.
Well, they might be able to do it with DS games, since they increased the resolution for N64 games on Wii VC.
But considering it's Nintendo, they'll probably just upscale it and leave it a day; making the image super pixelated.

Right there with ya. They have a certain kind of charm most people call ugly, but I personally love the aesthetic.
Do you mean any DS emulator? Or any emulator period?
Many emulators have texture filtering built in, I know both PCSX2 and Dolphin have the option for example.
This actually benefits more from this than most games.

Would love to see one of the Castlevania games represented.
DS. I cite that because the whole platform never had texture filtering, and it seems no emulator I've followed incorporated it as a response for the platform lacking it. I know PCSX2 and Dolphin have fantastic texture filtering, with PPSSPP featuring similar filtering and xBR support. I haven't followed this DS emulators SVN builds, but it seems to support xBR as well, or at least a variation of it.

rescaled pixel-art graphics = bigger pixels
Mother of dragons. This looks really really good.
Those screenshots are really awesome. Not all of them are impressive, but it's always cool to see games from a different technical perspective. It's a really unique look.
And between KH 179 days on 3DS in HD and KH BBS on PSP in HD, Squenix comes out looking like tech wizards.
Unless I'm missing something, it won't look very different. Those games are 2D pixel art games from the GBA. Unless you really want some screenshots of the 3D items in the court record...?

Pokémon Black Version 2 looks pretty great imo.
This actually looks pretty great!

Really wish they hadn't gone polygonal with Golden Sun 3.
The GBA games still hold up extremely well, but the DS one is just meh.

BW2 looks like the one that benefits the most of all the ones I've seen thus far.

Those are sprite games, you won't see a difference. Castlevania has a few 3D elements, though.

I actually LOVE the way these look. The textures are low-res enough that they come across as stylistic rather than just blurry (even if that's not actually the case).
The game's don't look "HD" per se, but really charming.
