i wanted to find a way to put a ds or any other emulator in on my website i know it's possible but i wanted to do it my self so i was wondering if someone knew how this process was done explain it to me or give me the source code to do it
 
Multiple choices, though all can be tricky with ROMs as you either have to provide them (OK for most homebrew, not so OK for commercial games) or do some kind of weird temp file arrangement where people upload them (DS ROMs got quite large when all was said and done)
1) Java emulator. The traditional choice but the problem here is nobody uses java any more and getting people to install it for the browser is considered poor taste.
2) Some kind of streaming. Interface some kind of remote help program with an emulator and have people use one of the remote tools to access it. This means your server gets hammered, you will need a custom server (your basic web hosting is not going to allow this in any real capacity unless you get really creative which they will hate). This is how the remote play gaming services do it. A place to start looking might be the twitch plays ? source code that I think I saw released a while back.
3) Flash. Much like Java it is a plugin which can run code. People are increasingly abandoning it though, if their mobile devices ever had it, and Adobe has said it is ending it too. I am not sure any emulators have been ported to it either.
4) Javascript. In the last few years many PC javascript engines in browsers have got fast enough to emulate all sorts of things. I have not seen a DS one ported to it but many others have. Phone browsers may not be so hot and things like the 3ds browser have awful javascript speed. Similarly most PC DS emulators hammer a PC pretty hard and javascript will not help here.
5) HTML5. I reckon it could be done, however trying to tease HTML5 out from javascript gets tricky. Unless you mean you want to use the video options of HTML5 for the streaming type service mentioned in 2)
6) Some other browser plugin. Don't. Nobody wants a plugin or to use any of the plugin languages that might still be keeping on in some kind of zombie form.

2) Is probably going to be the easiest and most widely applicable. If you just want it for you to play games outside the house then I would just install teamviewer or something on your phone/tablet/laptop/whatever and use that to connect to your home PC. If you mean you want to run something like https://archive.org/details/consolelivingroom (bear in mind that that website got special dispensation to do such a thing) then I would say don't do it. The emulator that website uses is http://docs.mamedev.org/initialsetup/compilingmame.html#emscripten-javascript-and-html
 
i understand i want to learn so this is what i'm trying to do i wanted to take some of these java script/ html https : / / github -com / fcambus / jsemu

emulator in the website running games i had in ( the cloud or google drive ) something like that. if this is to hard
or not a easy take then i guess running each rom would work too. here a website to explain a bit better basic on what i'm trying to do you did give me some option but i wanted to make sure this is what you meant in option 4
