As of v2.8 it supports DSi gameshad documented the Wi-Fi capabilities first, and melonDS is currently the first and only emulator that does. Only use No$GBA for DSi games, its debugging features (if you do translate/romhack DS/GBA games), if you value emulation speed above everything, or as a last resort.* [[melonDS]] is a recent DS emulator by ex-DeSmuMe devs who want to make a better optimized emulator eventually including features the existing emulators either don't have or have but are marred with other problems.

===Local wireless communication===Players who have a copy of the same game can link together using the DS's wireless signals (given that the game offers this feature). melonDS supports wireless communication with several games, including ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and the ''Pokémon'' games, but you need to have either multiple instances opened, which can slow down overall performance, or connect multiple computers via LAN. No$GBA added support for DSi games can connect but fails before the actual connection is finished. ===DS Download Play===This feature allows players with a DS and only one copy of all three formats starting with version 2a game to play together.8This way, although some games wont boot and others have graphical glitchesnot everyone needs a copy of a game. You'll need to enable The player with the physical cartridge will host the game while the other players connect using a "16MB DSi/retaildownloaded" under version received from the settingshost.

In most cases, it's better to use multi-cart instead. However, meaning some games that , like ''Mario Party DS'', require Download Play to use it may boot but it won't be very playableits multiplayer.

Like with local multiplayer, it is very hit and used for miss but unlocking the 3DSframerate helps. This encryption is checked at start-upmelonDS will often fail during the download process, hence why DS emulators don't even manage to boot DSiWare dumps. It's very unlikely DSibut some games actually go as far as booting and sometimes in-mode emulation is ever going to be implemented in Desmume in particular due to various ''creative differences'' unique to that projectgame as well.

===BIOS FilesNintendo Wi-Fi Connection===DSi emulation requires a copy of the lower 32K-halves of Nintendo had an online service that was available for the ARM7/ARM9 BIOSes (BIOSDSI7.ROM Wii and BIOSDSI9.ROM), which are different from the regular DS BIOS files and needed for the decryptionthat was free to use.

These unicorns can be found [http://archive.org/details/DSiFirmwareFiles here]A popular game that used this feature was ''Mario Kart DS''.

There was a third-party DeSmuME fork that successfully emulated WFC but has quite a bit of requirement (Ethernet cable, though this can be circumvented with external software). After the service shutdown, there was a version compatible with the fan servers (restoring all DLC data, but sadly, most multiplayer games had their content lost forever). melonDS is one of the only emulators to offer Wi-Fi capabilities. It's also advised still a work-in-progress, but it works relatively well. ===DS/Wii connectivity===Uses wireless communication on the DS to connect to the Wii. The idea is parallel to the GBA Link Cable for the GameCube, and just like the Link Cable, [https://nintendo.fandom.com/wiki/Wii-to-DS_connectivity only a handful of games actually have this feature]. Some notable examples include: * ''Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time'' - which is essentially the same as the DS port but can connect with other DSes with the game.* ''Pokémon Battle Revolution'' - in which players could transfer their Pokémon from the Generation IV main series games and use the DS as a controller. * ''Animal Crossing: City Folk'' - in which data could be transferred between the DS version (but still completely ''Animal Crossing: Wild World'optional'), and the ''Nintendo Channel''on the Wii, where players could download demos of DS games to their console using Download Play (basically the same idea as the Download Station kiosk) . So far, no emulator has been able to emulate this feature, nor have attempted to. If this were ever going to use be emulated, it would require work on both ends. ===GBA/DS connectivity===Inserting a GBA cartridge in the Slot-2 of the Nintendo DS while a NAND dump as well game is running can unlock various gameplay features for [https://nintendo.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_DS_games_with_GBA_connectivity several DS games].  It's unknown if No$GBA supports this, but it can be done in DeSmuME by going to increase compatibility Config > Slot 2 (though adding games GBA Slot) and selecting GBA Cartridge.

As of version 0.9, [https://melonds.kuribo64.net/comments.php?id=110 melonDS supports GBA connectivity] and even added support for the solar sensor on GBA Boktai cartridges used in Boktai DS (Lunar Knight), something DeSmuME has yet to support.

===iQue DS Region Lock===Nintendo released Emulators differ in their Nintendo DS in China under the name iQue DS, along with a few localized gamesbehavior to this region lock. Much like they did with the No$GBA toocrashes, while DeSmuME can load them. Except However, for one thing. While the Chinese DS ROMs are perfectly normal DS ROMsmelonDS, besides the tiny fact they have region locking implemented, preventing them you need a [[Emulator Files|Firmware Dump]] from running on any DS system that's not the Chinese an iQue DS model (but any 3DS from any region , otherwise, it will run these Chinese DS games, despite replicate the 3DSs games being region-locked. Go figure.) No other DS games - not even Korean releases - do thislock.

If you try to emulate those ROMs with No$GBA, it just crashes. DeSmuME The only way the ROM will at least boot, but always show the message that shows on real accept other hardware (non-iQueand thus emulators) DS hardware - is with a glowing message on hack involving a black background saying "Only for iQue DS" (in English) and just loop endlessly on that same screensimple byte change. In the event you're desperate to emulate those releases, you'll want to change the ROM (with Use a hex editor) - specifically to change the byte located at <code>0x1D must be changed </code> from value <code>80 </code> to <code>00</code>.

Certain games, such as American Girl titles (e.g. , ''Julie Finds a Way'' and ''Kit Mystery Challenge'') , suffer from severe flickering issues which keep those games from being playable on most emulators; so far . [[DraStic]] is was the only first emulator able to run the two games properly, and while Desmume DeSmuME r5043 had an initial fix that worked around the flickering issuesglitch, it was removed in later revisions as it broke compatibility with Pokemon ''Pokémon SoulSilver '', among others; this has since been patched on r5531 once the true nature of the [https://sourceforge.net/p/desmume/bugs/1134/ bug] was better understood.The fix would be later incorporated into other emulators. ''Ultimate Mortal Kombat'' suffers from flickering and slowdown due to the way it loads sprites, though it isn't as serious in DraStic. ''Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Jedi Alliance'' is an even more egregious example, crashing due to timing differences between actual hardware and an emulated system. ==References==<references /> ==See also==* [[Nintendo DSi emulators]]  {{Nintendo}}
