Someone did a version of Risk for the Nintendo DS! Seriously. The game has been quite well done.

Basically there is a large map and 7 other computer controlled opponents. The map is divided up into little countries and you have blocks stacked on them to represent your men. Each turn you are allocated more blocks based on how many countries you own and then you can attack the countries adjacent to you. You win or lose based on the odds of how many men you have. Anyone who has played Risk will understand.

Here is an image I took from their website. The graphics are very bright and clear. When you select a country it sort of raises up out of the ground to give you a clear picture of what is going on too.

My Hardware

I have Nintendo DS Lite (NDSL) with a Supercard Lite and Super Key. The Supercard Lite takes a microSD card for memory storage. I use the 1GB Kingston microSD.

Getting It To Run

The setup is very simple. Make sure to check out the site and go to the DiceWars DS project page if you have any other problems or want further instructions.

• Download the latest version from the DiceWars DS homepage. You will have to look through the blog to find his latest release. At this time I am using 0.2.0.
• Unzip the download into its own folder. There is only one file, dicewars.nds.

• I don't know if I need to, but I patched the dicewars.nds file with the DLDI for my hardware.

  I have written an instruction page on doing this called Patching NDS Homebrew With DLDI. Follow the instructions there and then continue on here.

• Copy the dicewars.nds file onto your memory card.
• Boot your NDS and start playing.
