Nintendo DS Orchestra

Bring yours, your kid’s and their Nintendo DS’ and learn how to make music with free software (not released yet but coming soon) made by Pixelh8 At the end of the day everyone is invited to an open jam session with their compositions!

This open workshop is an introduction to the wonderful world of Homebrew on the Nintendo DS; free and open source software development for the DS which is a deceptively powerful piece of kit.
