So...... Guess I'm doing this now. Ok, to explain why on earth someone would want to dedicate hours of their life to making a worse DS, you really need to experience DS emulation on mobile. Long story short, it sucks, for a great many reasons mostly related to Nintendo's insistence on using the most gimmicky features ever to make up for their perpetual lag on hardware. Admittedly in this situation the sane response would be "Buy a 3ds xl" and not "Design a full new system to pretend to be a DS", but this is cooler. 

Also, designing something that, to my knowledge, hasn't been done before sounds fun, and hopefully looks good on the resume, so why not. Anyway as this is my first real hardware level project, I will be doing a lot of stealing. Mostly from Texas Instruments, and their pretty great datasheets for basically everything, but also from the one other compute module handheld on the internet, found here: https://github.com/StonedEdge/Retro-Lite-CM5. This guy is much better than me, and I hope to get even remotely close to the quality of their work.

Anyway this will probably take the next 1000 hrs of my life, so might as well get started now. See ya
