I ran into a lot of problems trying to get Stella to work in the DS, and I know others have as well.
The problem lies in that versions 5.0-7.0 did not have DLDI support, and the R4 auto patches all homebrew and Roms.
There is however, a version of StellaDS that supports DLDI, and does NOT need manually patched.
Get it here:

You will notice one difference right away. The .nds file is named ATARI.nds not StellaDS.nds
Simply drag and drop Atari.nds into the root of your card. Place a folder in the root titled stellads, and store your roms in it.
Now stella DS should work with no problems!
