NINTENDO DS / NDS ROMS INFORMATION. The story will remember the Nintendo DS, as the most successful portable console ever. When she got out, few people believed in her success - her form factor seemed strange, and even Nintendo took her as an experimental 'third player' rather than as a full replacement for the iconic Game Boy line-up.

The Nintendo DS might not be the most powerful handheld gaming system on the market but it’s plenty powerful to emulate many arcade games and console systems of yesteryear. If you’re willing to invest a small amount of money and a small amount of time, you can easily turn your Nintendo DS into a veritable Swiss Army knife of gaming goodness.

What Do I Need?

As much as we love free-as-in-beer projects, this project will require a small cash outlay to get things rolling. You’ll need the following things:

• 1 Nintendo DS (works with the DS Lite, DSi, DSiXL, and 3DS units)
• 1 Flash Cart ($15-40; we’ll take a detailed look at flash carts in a moment)
• 1 MicroSD Card (We recommend a cheap 16GB to provide room for growth)
• NDS-compatible Emulators (free; we’ll review them individually later in the tutorial)
• ROMs for aformentioned emulators

Assuming you already have a Nintendo DS, your cash outlay for the whole project will be $25-50 or so depending on the flash cart you pick to build your project on. Let’s take a look at flash carts to help you pick the best one.

A note on ROMs: Availability and legality of ROMs is subject to local laws and regulations. As such we cannot directly link to ROM sources here and suggest you turn to your favorite search engine for guidance.

What’s a Flash Cart and Why Do I Need One?

Using a flash cart is the foundation of today’s tutorial. A flash cart is simply a custom USB adapter that has been designed to allow you to interface a common microSD storage card with your Nintendo DS. It is, if you will, a storage adapter masquerading as a legitimate Nintendo cartridge. Without a flash cart to sneak us past the authorization module in the DS, there’s no way we’ll be able to launch the homebrew software required to play homebrew and emulated games.

Because the whole market that supports homebrew/jailbreaking/modding of game consoles is frowned upon by the console industry, you can’t just walk into Game Stop and buy an adapter. You’ll most likely need to order from a foreign electronics supply house and you’ll need to be careful to avoid getting burned by fly-by-night web sites and counterfeit/dud flash carts.

In order to help you avoid getting burned we highly suggest you purchase one of the following two flash carts from a a reputable retailer. We’ve been using ModChipCentral out of Canada for all our console modding needs over the last five years and have been quite pleased with the service, product quality, and speedy shipping.

Acekard2i ($22): If you’re looking for a rock solid flash cart produced by developers with a good history of updates and support, the Acekard2i is tough to beat. It doesn’t sport a lot of bells and whistles but it gets the job done. While this is not the flash cart will be using for the tutorial, we have several years of experience with the Acekard brand and highly recommend the model for budget-conscious modders.

Supercard DSTwo ($38): The DSTwo costs nearly twice as much as the more economical flash carts such as the Acekard, but it packs more than enough extras in to make it worth paying the extra $16. The DSTwo flash cart includes an additional onboard CPU and RAM module that greatly increase the quality of game emulation. The flash cart also includes custom GameBoy Advance and Super NES emulators designed by the flash cart maker to take full advantage of the onboard processing power. We’ll be using this brand flash cart for the tutorial.

If you opt to use the Acekard2i, please reference the Acekard web site for initial setup instructions as they will vary from the DSTwo.

Setting Up the DSTwo Operating System

Once you have received the DSTwo in the mail, you’ll notice that it doesn’t come packaged with a MicroSD card and, if you put the flash card in your DS before completing the following steps, the DS won’t even register the empty flash cart.

The very first step is to properly format your MicroSD card. Yes, you can get away with simply using your operating system’s format command but we highly recommend using Panasonic’s industry recognizes SD formatting tool, SD Formatter. Doing so ensures your SD card is formatted strictly to industry standards and decreases the chance you’ll run into difficult-to-troubleshoot errors later on.

In order to enable your flash cart to work properly you’ll need to install the base operating system, known as DSTWO EOS, from the DSTwo web site. Make sure to grab a copy of the operating system and not the firmware updater (the only time the firmware updater is necessary is if a major NDS software change rolled out by Nintendo requires you to update the firmware in the physical flash cart).

Once you have downloaded the DSTWO_v.(someversionhere).ZIP, extract the contents of the folder within the ZIP file onto your SD card. The root of your SD card should now look like:

_dstwo

ds2boot.dat

readme_eng.txt

At this point you could safely eject the SD card, put it into the DSTwo flash cart, and boot it up in your DS, but there wouldn’t be much to do besides admire the pretty DSTWO EOS interface. Let’s take a moment to load up some emulators and other goodies onto the flash cart.

Populating the DSTwo with Emulators

While it’s cool to have a functional flash cart, so far it doesn’t do much. In order to get the good times rolling, we need some emulators. The following section is structured to show you the best choice for the DSTwo as well as alternative choices that will work both on the DSTwo and on other flash carts that don’t have the CPU/RAM boost the DSTwo does. While we’re inclined to install all the emulators for maximum fun, we’ve divided them by console/source so you can easily pick and choose.

Note: We’ll be using the following directory structure to keep the card tidy, unless otherwise specified you can customize the directory structure as you wish:

Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)

nesDS: Because NES emulation doesn’t require much horse power, there is no specific plugin for the DSTwo. We suggest all users check out nesDS, a more than capable NES emulator for the DS.

Download the latest version at the link above and extract the contents of the zip file to nesDS on the root directory of your card. Create a companion folder for the ROMs, ROMs – NES

Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)

DSTwo SNES Emulator: DSTwo has its own custom SNES emulator with a pile of bells and whistles including real-time saving which allows you to effectively pause a game anywhere in the action and resume when you wish.

Download the latest version at the above link and extract it to the root of your SD card. It will dump files into two separate folders NDSSFC and _dstwoplug. Create a companion folder for the ROMs, ROMs – SNES. Do not change the folder name for the emulator.

SNEmulDS: For non-DSTwo users, the best alternative to the native plugin is SNEmulDS. Compared to the native DSTwo plugin, SNEmulDS is a much rougher emulator, but through no fault of the development team behind it. Emulating the SNES without the additional CPU boost DSTwo provides introduces little hiccups like poor audio rendering and poor sprite layering. To use SNEmulDS, simply extract to SNEmulDS on the root of your card. Create a companion folder for the ROMs, ROMs – SNES

SEGA Genesis

jEnesisDS: Both DSTwo users and other flashcart users who want to play Genesis games should turn to jEnesisDS, a solid genesis emulator. Download it from the Zophar mirror and extract to the jEnesisDS on the root of your SD card. Create a companion folder for the ROMs, ROMs – SEGA

Nintendo GameBoy

Lameboy DS: Like the NES, the GameBoy is easy enough to emulate that there is no suped up DSTwo plugin for it. Simply download the latest version, extract it to LameboyDS on the root of your SD card and create a companion folder ROMs – GB.

Nintendo GameBoy Advance

DSTwo GBA Plugin: Again, this is an arena where the DSTwo shines. Emulating the GameBoy Advance on the DS is a complicated task because the DS/DS Lite have a hardware GBA slot and the later models don’t have a GBA slot at all. Most emulators require an extra flash cart to emulate the GBA. DSTwo uses onboard hardware to pull it off in a way that other flash carts simply can’t (and require third-party hardware add-ons with dicey compatibility problems).

Download the latest version at the above link and extract it to the root of your SD card. It will dump files into two separate folders NDSGBA and _dstwoplug. Create a companion folder for the ROMs, ROMs – GBA. Do not change the folder name for the emulator.

MAME Arcade Emulation

DSTwo MAME Plugin: MAME is another emulation that requires a fair amount of horse power for more complex games. The DSTwo has its own plugin specifically for MAME 0.37b5 games (if you’re curious about the specificity of that number, MAME emulators are extremely picky about version numbers and require you acquire the specific ROM release packs). Download it (hosted by PortableDev) here. Download the latest version, and extract it to MAME and _dstwoplug on the root of your SD card; create a companion folder ROMs – MAME. Do not change the folder name for the emulator.

MarcasDS: For alternative cards, MarcasDS offers limited MAME support. Without the extra CPU power it can’t play as many games, but it can crunch through some early simple arcade releases (see the included readme file and games list for more information on which games it can handle). Download the latest version, extract it to MarcasDS on the root of your SD card and create a companion folder ROMs – MAME.

When you’re done configuring the emulators, you should have a neatly organized set of

The above emulators just begin to scratch the surface of the available Nintendo DS system emulators. For a full overview of the emulation tools available—including bundles for early systems like the Atari and Colecovision—check out the awesome selection at emulation archive Zophar’s Domain.

The Nintendo DS is among the most popular handheld consoles of all time. Its iconic value is right up there with that of the Game Boy and the PSP. There were some amazing games for the system and sometimes it’s easier to keep those games on your phone than to carry around a second device to play them. Sadly, development of the Nintendo DS emulator platform is still is a little niche so there aren’t a ton of options to choose from. Nevertheless, we did find a few that worked alright so here are the best Nintendo DS emulators for Android! Thankfully, this market has stabilized a lot over the last year. The selections for 2019 are exactly the same as 2018.

DraStic DS Emulator

Price: $4.99

DraStic DS Emulator is probably the best of the Nintendo DS emulators right now. During our testing, it played pretty much every game we threw at it. There are probably only a handful of games that don’t work right. The emulator comes with a host of features, including screen layout customization, controller customization, support for hardware controllers, fast forward, Google Drive support, and high end devices can enjoy some improved graphics rendering if they so choose. The price is $4.99. That’s cheaper than it used to be. It’s a good bargain. This is the one we’d recommend first.

EmuBox

Price: Free

EmuBox is a newer emulator with a bunch of compatible systems. That includes PlayStation, SNES, and yes, Nintendo DS. This is one of the few emulators with Material Design. That makes it good looking. Thankfully, it also works okay. We didn’t have any serious problems playing the games we tested. Some have lamented some bugs with the emulator when using too many cheat codes, but otherwise the Google Play reviews are also mostly positive. It’s a free emulator with advertising. We hope a pro version without ads comes eventually.

NDS Emulator

Price: Free

NDS Emulator is one of the newer Nintendo DS emulators. It has all of the basic features such as external controller support, save states, load states, and customizable on-screen game pads. It played most of the games we tried during testing as well. It’s far from perfect and there are bugs. However, this is one of the better free Nintendo DS emulators available. There are ads and they are rather annoying. We would’ve liked a way to pay to remove them. It’s not the one we’d recommend first, but it’s definitely in the top five.

nds4droid

Price: Free

nds4droid is one of the older Nintendo DS emulators. It hasn’t received an update in a while. However, it is open source. Thus, developers can use this as a base to make their own. As an emulator, it’s okay. It does have some issues. That includes slower emulation. It does include a frame skip option to help mitigate this, though. Otherwise, it’s completely free with no in-app purchases and no advertisements. It’s a good starting point. If it works for you, all the better.

RetroArch

Price: Free

RetroArch is an all-in-one emulator. It supports a variety of game systems. That includes the Nintendo DS, Game Boy, SNES, Game Boy Advance, and plenty of non-Nintendo systems. You have to download and install each system individually within the app. That means you’ll have to download this, get the Nintendo DS core, and then you can finally play games. It supports all of the basic features. It’s not the easiest to use. However, it is completely free with no in-app purchases or advertising. It’s also in active development right now.
