For information on emulating different systems on the DS, please go to the following sites:
Download links and information for the M3
Wikipedia article with lots more emulators
General (and brief) information on some emulators
If the system you want to emulate isn't on one of those lists, then chances are, there is no emulator on the DS for the system. If I have missed any, please PM me about it with a link to it.
Post any questions on these emulators in here.

I'm trying to run NesterDS on a DS-Xtreme, but it says it can't find any roms. I have a dozen NES roms on the card. Do I need to put them in a folder or what?

i've just updated the first post with instructions.make sure you are running rom_inserter.exe to insert the rom before flashing to your DS-Xtreme. that should fix the problem.

One more question, is there a way to save NES games?

No, I don't believe so. You can try NesDS WIP1 which supports saves, but that's still work in progress which may accidentally corrupt your memory card, and NesDS is a lot more complicated to prepare.

How would I go about getting Goomba to run on my ds?And are there specific steps/instructions I can take to make snezzieds to work?

You can find all the information for Goomba here:http://www.webperson.../tutorials.htmlTo make SnezziDS work, just drop the SNES game onto snezzi.exe and it'll make a .nds file for you. Put that onto your flash cart and it should run fine.

List of emulators on the DS. http://en.wikipedia....ebrew#Emulators

Thanks for the link. I've put it in the first post.

does anyone know if there's a gba emulator for the ds-x?

No, there isn't one, and there probably won't be one for some time. Play on a PC emulator (eg. VBA) or get a slot-2 flash cart.

K i need help really badly.chrono trigger runs fine but the sound is all distorted and the wording is cut off some of them. please help me fix this, chrono trigger is nothing without the music. and plus the distorting noises are really really ugly. please help. i haven't done the patching through the supercard yet but when i press out it just says, Access violation at adress 005BF3CF in module 'supercardmicrosd.exe'. read of adress EAD11FC4. Any ideas?

There's nothing you can do to fix the sound (except to ask the development people to hurry up). Also, you don't need to patch it to run on the supercard. Saving works fine even without patching. The error happens when you try to load a game patched with SnezziDS into the Supercard patcher.You can also try patching it with the no sound version to (maybe) improve graphics.

Will bleach ds run on any of the emulators?

NO!Well, maybe. Get Ody to test it on No$gba for you, since it isn't on the list, but don't keep your hopes up. It doesn't work on any other emulator.DON'T post the same problem twice, especially in the WRONG THREAD, and when the original thread was CLOSED!! This is about emulators ON the DS, not FOR the DS.

The compatibility with the SNES emulators are not exactly great. I just googled for "snezziboy compatibility" and found the compatibility list at PHWiki. I have included it in the first post now.Just from skimming through, about 50% of the games on that list are playable, and the rest are either partially playable or not playable at all.

[phoenix121]

Look at this site from M3Wiki:http://m3wiki.com/in...mulators_for_DSIt'll give you links to download, compatibility lists and it also tells you whether it'll work on the M3.
