While '''Ensata''' is a [[Nintendo intended to step up DS emulators|Nintendo DS emulator]] made by Nintendo, named after the security of the console, vulnerabilities were still found early on that allowed tons of system files Nintendo DS's codename. Its function was to be dumped, including dumps of a quick debugger for developers and eventually it ran commercial games in the form of romfs- though compatibility is very low. Originally two versions (v1.istorage archives, an exefs folder, 3c and license filesv1. These game dumps eventually got shared online by scene groups except for their licenses but 4d) were missing important files to run leaked from official sources in 2005 and even if they had been completed2006, there were no custom homebrew apps albeit cracked in a way that let alone solutions users play games through these emulators. Later, in 2020, the source code was leaked showing development continued on until 2009. An interesting function is its ability to load unofficial game dumps for emulate the physical gap between the system. A number two screens of prominent hacking teams (starting with shuffle2 and fail0verflow in collaboration) all came across a new exploit independently of each other that allowed complete control over the an actual Nintendo DS system, later officially recognized by Nvidia as CVE-2018-6242.

A "debugging emulator" for the Nintendo Switch, CageTheUnicorn (now [https://github.com/reswitched/Mephisto Mephisto]), popped up not long after the first components were dumped. It was designed to emulate sysmodules with "no support for graphics, sound, input, or any kind of even remotely performant processing [...] by design". It was then revealed that members of both the [[Citra]] and [[Dolphin]] teams were already working on [[yuzu|their own emulator]] in secret, followed by another developer releasing an emulator named [[Ryujinx]]. ==EmulatorsDownload=={| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"|+PC! scope="col"|Name! scope="col"|Operating System(s)! scope="col"|Latest Version! scope="col"|Active! scopecellpadding="col4"|[[Recommended Emulators|Recommended]]|-|[[yuzu]]|Windows, Linux, macOS|[https://yuzu-emu.org/downloads/ Nightly]|{{✓}}|{{~}}|-|[[Ryujinx]]|Windows, Linux, macOS|[https://ryujinx.org/#/Build Nightly]|{{✓}}|{{~}}|-|[https://github.com/RKX1209/nsemu NSEmu]|Windows|{{✗}} (WIP)|{{✓}}|{{✗}}
