Neo Geo

Multi-Console

  • RetroBoxDS: Port of Retrobox, multi-console emulator.
  • TWiLight Menu - includes a bunch of popular emulators, can be found in \_nds\TWiLightMenu\emulators\. The list includes:

  • DS Boy: B&W GB.
  • DS_GBC: GB/GBC.
  • Lameboy: GB/GBC
  • Gameyob: GB/GBC

Game Boy Advance

  • GBARunner2 - Unlike other attempts at running GBA on the DS, GBARunner2 works more like a hypervisor rather than purely on emulation, meaning you don't need any kind of special flashcart or expansion pak. There's still a lot to improve, but has shown good compatibility and may even support multiplayer using the DS' local wireless communications in the future. Requires the actual GBA BIOS in order to work.

WonderSwan

Neo Geo Pocket (Color)

Watara Supervision
