NintendoDS emulation and games list

Category: emulation,Gaming,Linux   — Published by tengo on January 23, 2009 at 12:41 pm

Recently I've been doing a bit of research towards Nintendo DS emulation (NDS emu). What I've found out so far is that there a basically two relatively stable emulators out there: iDeaS and DeSmuME and No$GBA.

All three have issues with some games, even in the newest versions. Only No$GBA is able to play multiplayer on the same machine. And all of them qre quite resources hungry, so don't expect it to run well on a Pentium 3.
The Emulation/ROMS community has the handy tendency to categorize and sort everything, so there are quite complete games lists out there. Of course you can go to mobygames, games-db or similar to grab a similar list, but when you are looking for ROM, knowing the exact name and ID number might be helpful, so here's a quite complete list:

(J) = Giappone
(U) = U.S.A.
(E) = Europeo
(I) = Italiano
(F) = Francese
(G) = Tedesco
(S) = Spagnolo
(K) = Koreano
(Ch) = Cinese
(A) = Australia
(Mx) = Multi Language

As the NDS is related to the GBA and as there are some ROMS who can be interchanged, this Wiki might be helpful.

NOTE!

Owning, using and playing of ROMS is only allowed if you legally own the actual game. Let's keep emulation fun and stick to these rules. Okay?! And you won't find any roms/rom dumps on this site nor any links to sites that carry them!
