Nintendo DS: Added Ensata
* [http://www.zophar.net/ds/ideas.html iDeaS], first released in 2004 or 2005, was the first DS emulator that could run commercial games. It also had some plugin system that was not widely used.
<!-- http://www.ne.jp/asahi/krk/kct/misc/emu.htm says 2004 for above two emulators but no other source mention release dates -->
 
* [[Ensata]]: An NDS emulator made by Nintendo (and Intelligent Systems?) that was leaked to emulation community in unknown year<!-- 2005? 2006? -->. It could run select few commercial games, though compatibility was very low.
* [[DeSmuME]]: Developed by YopYop156 around 2005, first as "YopYop DS". Discontinued at version 0.3.3 in April 2006, citing a change of laws regarding emulation in France. Source code was then released. Many devs tried on their own to made their own follow-up (one such emulator includes NDesMume, of which only one version was ever released), before teaming up and merging their work, resulting in build 0.5.0 as the starting point for the new emulator.
