[[File:Nintendo_ds.jpg|thumb|The Nintendo DS handheld console]]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.

===Comparisons===
Currently, the two best emulators are Desmume DeSmuME and no$gba but depending on just how good or bad your pc is you'll need to know more.
DeSmuME is very good, and very well developed but works best with higher end computers. This emulator aims for accuracy over speed but you can tinker with the vast amount of setting to get some extra FPS (see [[Common Problems and Solutions]] for tips). If you're still having a hard time running anything without the output playing like syrup try no$gba.
<span style="font-size:13px;">By default, we recommend Desmume regardless of your pc power. It is very active, with wip versions released frequently, and is overall better. Only use no$gba as a last resort, if your pc just can't do ds, you'll want to just go buy a DS as a new PC would cost a lot more.</span>
Just remember: like all post-16bit emulators, DeSmuMe DeSmuME isn't perfect. Expect nothing more than 60% at all times.
