NooDS is an open-source Nintendo DS and GBA emulator for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation Vita, and Wii U.

Usage

edit

NooDS formerly required BIOS and firmware files but now provides high-level re-implementations of these for both GBA and DS, so most games should run with no extra effort. You should still provide BIOS and firmware files dumped from your physical DS to increase compatibility and allow accessing the system menu. The file paths can be configured in the settings. The emulator has automatic save type detection, though it may not be accurate. If you load a new game and saving doesn't work, you'll have to manually change the save type. You can reference a list like ADVANsCEne's for finding what save type your game uses.
