MENUdo is a free homebrew operating system for the Nintendo DS, designed to work on any flashcard. Created by Filipino programmer Soulanger, MENUdo aims to provide a new experience for the Nintendo DS, including integrated features such as real-time skinning, homebrew/ROM loading, MOD format media playback, note-taking with various keyboards, picture drawing with pressure sensitivity (on the DS Lite), and more.
With MENUdo, you can do more things with your Nintendo DS than you ever imagined possible. All you need is a flashcard such as an AceKard, R4, M3 Real, or Supercard. Compatibility is reported to be 100% with cards, however ROM loading requires an AKAIO or YSMenu-compatible flashcard.
ClouDS is the new name for MenuDO since it began its development again on the 22nd January 2011.
