===DSi===
→Emulators
* DeSmuMe X432R is a fork of DeSmuMe, that has many more graphical enhancement such as an option to increase internal resolution and use MSAA, See the [[DeSmuMe]] page for more details. Check out [http://www.geocities.jp/gponys/desmume_aa.html this site] to see what you're missing out on.
==Connectivity=====Wi-Fi: Multiplayer, WFC and Wii/DS===
* Local Multiplayer and Download Play are not supported by any emulator. No$GBA can emulate it but the connection fails somewhere during establishing the actual connection (despite the names from the other DS showing just fine).
* Nintendo WFC was successfully emulated with DesMume, but has quite a bit of requirements (Ethernet cable, though this can be circumvented with external software). After service shutdown, there was a version compatible with the fan servers (restoring all DLC data but sadly most multiplayer games had their content lost forever).
Inserting a GBA card in Slot-2 in a Nintendo DS unit (that's not a DSi) while a DS game is running could unlock various gameplay features in some DS games. DesMume can emulate this: while playing the DS ROM, go to "Config, Slot 2 (GBA Slot)" and select "GBA Cartridge". Now select the GBA ROM file, and make sure its sav file is in the same folder. You may need to reset the game sometimes to see the effect in-game.
* DSi emulation isn't supported. No$GBA supposedly begun preliminary work on it starting from 2.7b, which offers a way to make complete DSi ROM dumps.
* None of the DSi exclusive hardware was emulated yet, like the camera. iDeaS was planned to, but it's long dead by now.
==Special Hardware==
* '''Guitar Hero Pad:''' Used in the "Guitar Hero: On Tour" series (required) and Band Hero DS. Supported by Desmume (Slot 2).
* '''Piano for Easy Piano:''' Supported by Desmume (Slot 2).
* '''Taito Paddle Controller:''' Compatible with Arkanoid, Space Invaders Extreme, Space Invaders Extreme 2 and Space Bust-a-Move. Supported by Desmume (Slot 2).
* '''Rumble Pack:''' Supported by Desmume (Slot 2). Requires compatible Joystick.
* '''Slide Controller:''' Required by "Slide Adventure Mag Kid". Yasu made a shoddy [http://home.usay.jp/pc/etc/nds/iDeaS_slide.zip plug-in] for iDeaS (recommended version was 1.0.2.9.) to try to emulate it. No emulators support this add-on at the moment.
* '''Pokémon Keyboard:''' Bundled with the Pokémon Typing game (JP/UK/FR). The game refuses to boot without a keyboard, but it can be run on emulators with an anti-piracy fix and another Desmume-specific save bug fix. While it's playable using the on-screen keyboard on the lower screen, the keyboard wasn't actually emulated.
* '''DS Camera:''' Accessory bundled with the Japan-only Face Training. Not to be confused with the built-in DSi camera. No emulators exist for it at all.
