==Connectivity==
===Wi-Fi: Multiplayer, WFC and Wii/DS===
* Local Multiplayer and Download Play are is not supported by any emulator(in Desmume's case in particular, it's very unlikely). No$GBA can emulate it but the connection fails somewhere during establishing the actual connection (despite the names from the other DS showing just fine).* Nintendo WFC was successfully emulated with third-party DeSmuMEforks, but has quite a bit of requirements (Ethernet cable, though this can be circumvented with external software). After service shutdown, there was a version compatible with the fan servers (restoring all DLC data but sadly most multiplayer games had their content lost forever).* Download Play isn't supported by any emulator so far, though NDS-bootstrap homebrew on the Nintendo 3DS can boot some of them.
* DS/Wii connection isn't emulated in any capacity.
===GBA/DS Connectivity===
Inserting a GBA card in Slot-2 in a Nintendo DS unit (that's not a DSi) while a DS game is running could unlock various gameplay features in some DS games. DeSmuME can emulate this: while playing the DS ROM, go to "Config, Slot 2 (GBA Slot)" and select "GBA Cartridge". Now select the GBA ROM file, and make sure its sav file is in the same folder. You may need to reset the game sometimes to see the effect in-game.
Features like the solar sensor in Boktai DS (Lunar Knight) using the GBA Boktai cartridges in Slot-2 are not emulated yet on the other hand.
