I guess it depends on what you call a DS. The original DS (and DS Lite) would probably need quite a bit of re-engineering to run FFVII and more specifically FFVIII.

The thing is, many of us can not figure out why you're saying this.

It's mainly because I know the limitations of the DS. It's quite a interesting bit of engineering, but it was given strict limits on its capabilities (one wonders why though). The polygon count of the DS is not really impressive, also it has to deal with two screens, though you could limit the use of one of the screens and thus focus most of the processing power to only one of the screens.

The polygon capabilities of the PS1 are more powerful than DS, and the PSP is more powerful than the PS1. With the DSi on the other hand this is not necessarily the case. I dunno if the DSi is fundamentally more powerful than the PSP, given the limited info on it still, but it probably is. Fact remains though that we are talking about the DS and not really the DSi. 

Really though my original argument, again, was specifically about the purity of the original games, FMVs and all. Which again, again, would have to removed/changed/etc to work on the DS.
