Terms you may get to know about Nintendo DS and DPG

1. What is Nintendo DS?

The Nintendo DS (sometimes abbreviated to DS or NDS) is a dual-screen handheld game console developed and manufactured by Nintendo. The console features a clamshell design, similar to the Game Boy Advance SP, with two LCD screens inside—with the bottom one being a touchscreen. The Nintendo DS also features a built-in microphone and supports wireless IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) standards, allowing players to interact with each other within short range (10–30 m, depending on conditions) or online with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, which launched later in the console's lifespan. Later Nintendo DS Lite, and Nintendo DSi is released.

2. What is DPG?

DPG - A video format for the Nintendo DS, known as nDs-mPeG. DPG is a special format of MPEG-1 video specifically for playback using the homebrew Moonshell program for the Nintendo DS. The video is encoded on a computer and then transferred, along with Moonshell, to the DS for playback.

DPG video converter: DPG Video Encoding:

The DPG file specification is simple. All DPG files contain a 36 byte header, followed by audio, and then a standard mpeg-1 video stream. The audio format can differ; older DPG files used a special WAV format audio, but newer versions of moonshell have phased that out in favor of MP2 audio. In order to create a working DPG, one must encode it as a 15 frame/s 256*192 avi with MPEG2 (Hi Quality) or OGG (Low Quality) 128 kps sound. While older DPG files were limited to 15 frame/s, the newer version (DPG2) supports up to 24 frame/s.

The format specified below is the "DPG0" format. Moonshell supports additional versions of the DPG format, including DPG1, DPG2 and DPG3, though documentation of the revised formats is not included in this article at this time. DPG2 includes additional index information that allows fast relocation in the video/audio stream, thus allowing improved user navigation during playback.

DPG file Converter: DPG Audio Encoding:

The audio is encoded in standard MP2 format. For example, using ffmpeg to encode in.avi into out.mp2 at a 22050 sample rate and a bitrate of 64 kbit/s.
