DSi used an encryption system for the game dumps that went on to be enhanced and used for the 3DS. This encryption is checked at start-up, hence why Nintendo DS emulators don't even manage to boot DSiWare dumps. It's very unlikely DSi-mode emulation is ever going to be implemented in DeSmuME in particular due to various creative differences unique to that project.
melonDS recently started attempts at DSi emulation and has been able to boot the system's firmware<ref name="melonDSi">http://melonds.kuribo64.net/comments.php?id=94</ref> and even showed that it can play ''Flipnote Studio''. melonDS can connect to the internet and can play games with WFC online using a library named ''libslirp''. This has been merged into master in July 2020. While still outclassed by No$GBAIt also has Generic aka RSDuck's JIT, it which means that emulation will be smoother. It could become the most usable option for DSi emulation in the near future. Most of it is being done using the documentation that the No$GBA devs have already compiled on the subject.
