The Nintendo DS is a handheld console produced by Nintendo in 2004/2005. The main selling point was the use of dual screens for gameplay, with one being a touchscreen. It is the only console to have overtaken the PS2 in lifetime sales, as a result of attracting a large amount of casual players into the gaming community.

Name Operating System(s) Latest Version GBA NDS Recommended
DeSmuME Windows, Linux, OS X SVN
No$GBA Windows, MS-DOS 2.7

Comparisons

DeSmuME is very good, and very well developed. Enabling the Dynarec emulation option improves speed tremendously.

No$GBA focuses on speed, and has major compatibility issues and glitches. The 3D is not very good. However, it might be an option for a very low end machine, for the select games that it does not have problems with. Not otherwise recommended.
