What defines "hifi sound"? In an app like this, the DS should certainly be capable of 16bit 32KHz stereo.

At the digital level it could in theory be great, but the only way to get sound out of this thing is the headphone port, which sounds like hissy raspy garbage. Far better than a GBA, but utter junk compared to the actual hardware its emulating, or even a Kaosilator for that matter. With different a D/A converter and amp (probably the same chip on a DS) it could sound OK, and since people are hacking breakout boxes for 2600s and Speak and Spells these days someone might just do it.

BTW, I'm totally buying this thing and with Jam Sessions I'm looking to start a handheld based New Order cover band. Is there an electric bass emulator for DS?
