==Overview==
Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion Virtual Machine (ScummVM) first released october 8, 2001. It was originally designed to play LucasArts adventure games that use the SCUMM system, since then a lot of adventures games from other companies has been added. Lately they have also started allowing game engines for RPGs. As of october 9, 2020 they merged the 3d adventure game focused sister project [[ResidualVM]] into ScummVM<ref>https://www.scummvm.org/news/20201009</ref>, thereby making game engines for both adventure games and RPGs allowed in the project, whether they are 2D or 3D, point-and-click or not. Over 250 games are currently supported including games from Sierra's AGI and SCI games, Humongous Entertainment, Adventuresoft, and many others.
 
  
ScummVM works by replacing or modifying certain game executables, allowing the user to play on originally unintended/modern hardware. Compared to regular emulation this makes the hardware requirements very modest, you can basically run older ScummVM games on a toaster.

The goal of NooDS is to be a fast and portable Nintendo DS emulator. It's not quite there speed-wise, but it does offer most other features that you might expect from a DS emulator. It even supports GBA backwards compatability!.
  
ScummVM is released with the free software GNU GPLv2 license and has been ported to a wide variety of devices and operating systems.

==Supported games==

NooDS doesn't provide high-level emulation of the BIOS yet, so you'll need to provide BIOS and firmware files dumped from your physical DS. The file paths can be configured in the settings. It also currently lacks automatic save type detection for DS games. If you load a new game and saving doesn't work, you'll have to manually change the save type. This information can be difficult to find, so it's easier if you have working save files already present.
Here's a few examples of games supported. For a more complete list, check out ScummVM's [https://www.scummvm.org/compatibility compatiblity page]. ScummVM often supports multiple versions of the same game, for example PC and console versions.

NooDS is a free and open-source Nintendo DS emulator for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Portable port.

Overview

The goal of NooDS is to be a fast and portable Nintendo DS emulator. It's not quite there speed-wise, but it does offer most other features that you might expect from a DS emulator. It even supports GBA backwards compatability!.

Usage

NooDS doesn't provide high-level emulation of the BIOS yet, so you'll need to provide BIOS and firmware files dumped from your physical DS. The file paths can be configured in the settings. It also currently lacks automatic save type detection for DS games. If you load a new game and saving doesn't work, you'll have to manually change the save type. This information can be difficult to find, so it's easier if you have working save files already present.
