468x60-R4-vote

04/10 UPDATE: See the top 10 best DS Homebrew results. There you can read an interview with the developers of each of the 10 top. I’ve also provided links so you can download and install all the best DS homebrew games on your console while you count the days until you get your hands on a 3DS


Below are the games and applications taking part in our R4 DS Homebrew Contest. A lot of time and effort has gone into creating each of them. They are given out to us for free. Now it’s your chance to reward whoever you think is the most deserving of taking a share of the $500 prize and being recognised in our chart as the best DS Homebrew.

Download DS Homebrew and see the list of all the games and apps which entered the contest.

To vote for up to 3 pieces of software, simply leave a comment in the following format.

1. Homebrew name (3 points)
2. Homebrew name (2 points)
3. Homebrew name (1 point)

Your Comments (optional)

The Top 10 R4 DS Homebrew Chart will be compiled based on the number of points received for each piece of software.

You are encouraged to try as many of the games and apps as you can before casting your votes.

Votes/comments will not be displayed immediately but all approved votes up to a certain point will be published occasionally. Check back here for updates on how the voting is going.

You are welcome to encourage friends and web users to vote for whoever you like but multiple votes per household are not allowed. Without giving too much away, I have several ways of checking for cheats. Cheating can cause disqualification.

It’s not too late to enter and win a share of the $500 R4 DS Homebrew Prize. You won’t have as long to gain votes but you can still email your name, the name of your software and your website address to r4contest@r4revolutionds.co.uk to get added to the poll. We won’t send you any spam, sell your address or anything else naughty.

You can cast one vote for yourself.

If you have a question or a comment you would like seen quickly, please do not include your votes with it. This way I can put your comment up without giving away your votes early.

I’m looking forward to seeing how everyone votes. Good luck to all the contestants.

    well… I’m sorry, but can I change my last votes?

    Here’s the new ones.

    1. Colors! (3 points)
    2. NitroTracker (2 points)

    I’d like to make my DS with R4 more useful, and the tools I listed offered me more chances to reach this goal. I like drawing and Colors! becomes my most useful pen. And I like music,too. That’s what NitroTracker meant to me. Thx a lot for the guys who made these programmes!!!

    1. Colors!
    2. Animanatee
    3. Mario Paint Composer: Paratroopa Release

    Colors was an amazing feat, being one of the first to use pressure sensitivity, and it’s always felt right, not to mention the great playback feature and gallery. Animanatee builds off of Colors as well as mix in some classic animation programs like Mario Paint, and of course I’m happy to have any animation software for the DS. And I just plain like the Mario Paint Composer :P

    … It is like portable photoshop!…

    Photoshop! You mean “like a portable Gimp” right? And I thought Phidias bore a closer resemblance. Colors isn’t like Gimp or Photoshop, but it is one of the best apps out there.

    First is a shameless vote for myself. WarhawkDS coders deserve something for actually finishing a game in ASM. PocketPhysics is just fun.

    Other contenders would be DSVideo (Clean and simple interface), LPMng (iPod-GUI MP3 player), Video Games Hero (fun, great graphics)
    … but there are a dozen other homebrews that I love as well (trackers, puzzles, …). Man, I love the homebrew scene. I don’t even touch pirated games, there’s no need!

    It’s a very exciting and close competition. Currently there are a game and an application who are joint first and another title just 2 points behind in third place. 4th and 5th place also have the same amount of points.

    1) Colors! DS – its a brilliant application, like a portable canvas – you can control pressure and create amazing images on the go!
    2)Nitro Tracker – its a portable deck-set and you can blast out some pretty sweet tunes and upload your music for people to hear!
    3)Animatee – great for making on the go animations, if you got something on your mind -scribble it down

    1. Colors!
    2. Giana Sisters DS

    Nothing to say about third place. But really, Colors was the sole reason I bought my DS.

  33. September 15th, 2009 at 13:40 | #33

    In my opinioin:
    1.Warcraft: Tower Defense
    2.Marble
    3.iPod Clone

    I say that Noda is the best homebrew maker ever
