Homebrew List of all emulators for DS

[Gyron]

I just tried it and it didn't work. The only improvement is that instead of freezing up at the start screen when you hit confirm for names, it gives you 0.5 seconds of looking like it'll transition into the cutscene and THEN freeze. Not much of an improvement since the game is still unplayable.

I tried it from your source (wasn't easy since I had to get a translator) and from here http://filetrip.net/nds-downloads/f...mpgba-mod-for-supercard-dstwo-1-0-f33430.html (I had to get the BIOS from the original tempGBA to get that one to work) and neither helped.

Edit: I just tried a european ROM to see if it would work better (I'd rather have the version of the game from my own area but whatever >.>) and same issue, either the fix only works with the japanese version of the game (which I can't find) or someone didn't do a very good job testing it.

Edit2: I dug in the config I downloaded and this game isn't even listed in that config, I looked through the Gs expecting to get to the H section but it skipped right to the Ks so someone obviously forgot to include it I guess. :l I tried ctrl+F to find it as well and it isn't in there.

Yeah, I was going to suggest trying the Euro rom. It looks like you have explored all avenues. Not sure what is going on with the H section in that modded config. Noticed the Hudson collections are missing from it. All I can suggest now is running it via slot-2. Used DS Lites are cheap enough these days.

I can't even find my GBA games anymore, I only realized they were missing after trying for 2 hours to get my DS lite to turn on again. >.< Stupid things were so small and didn't even come in legitimate boxes so they probably got eaten by a vacuum cleaner at some point. >_>

Whatever, nobody cares about that game anyway so it will probably never be fixed. :l I'm probably the only person here who even likes the older hamtaro games...

 

[jamespoo]

is this list up to date?

 

[nxwing]

is this list up to date?

Just checked. It's up to date, at least, I think it is.

 

[NeTyd0_]

I think that gba emulator was non-existent

 

[Braig]

Is there a emulator that have the multiplayer?

 

[Cloud9Skywalker]

Which is an overall better SNES emulator?
SNEmulDS 0.6WIP2 or CATSFC 1.36.1

is this list up to date?

Not sure about the rest, but ZXDS the zx spectrum emulator is now at 1.3.4 vs the list stating 1.1.1...

You can't really expect it to be updated the post was made in 2010 and OP was last seen in 2014.

Seems you are missing a few GBA emulators for the .NDS

I am still looking for a good GBA emulator for my (new)3DS. I use a Stargate 3DS that is running WOOD kernel.

Haven't found a post about. Is there a way to run NesDS Open Source on the bottom screen only?

 

[jamespoo]

thanks installed cfw on my old dsi today and have a rs-97 but don't like the screen size and battery life so wanted to see what emulators could run on the dsi

 

[Nakisao]

hey guys, may I ask a question between emulators and flashcards? I have a slot 1 flashcard called M3 real DS and a Supercard Mini for Slot 2. Playing emulated GBA, GBC and NES Games... makes it more sense to use the Supercard's internal emulators or to better use potential "newer" emu software on the Slot1 M3 Flashcard such as Goomba Color or Lameboy? Does it make sense to entirely replace my supercard or use it in parallel?
Thanks and BRs!

MelonDS emulates the Nintendo DS. This is a list for emulators that the DS can emulate, like the nes,gameboy, etc..
