→DS Download Play: melonds does in fact emulates download play
Players who both have a DS but only one copy of a game can use "Download Play" to play together without everyone needing a copy of the game. The player with the physical cartridge will host the game while the other players connects using a "downloaded" version received from the host. Normally they are either simple mini-games or stripped down versions of the main game, so in most cases it is better to use connect using multiple cartridges instead. However, there are some games, like ''Mario Party DS'', that requires Download Play in order to use its multiplayer.
Download Play isn't is supported by any emulator so farmelonDS. Like with local multiplayer, though [[Emulators on 3DS#Nintendo DS|NDS-bootstrap]] homebrew on it is very hit and miss and unlocking the Nintendo 3DS can boot some of themframerate helps. melonDS often fails during the download process though but some games actually go as far as booting, but never to the actual "and sometimes in-game"as well.
