I think no$gba is comppatible with the most ds games. You can download it on this forum. Search the pages. As for roms, did you read the rules, NO ROMS! (just read my sig, it should help)

Oh man. So many people sign it up and dont bother to read the rules. *sigh* tsk tsk tsk. We can't help you with roms you have downloaded from somewhere because it is against the rules in here.

The best ?

No$gba - Higher compabilities (high recommendation) (yes joystick supporting)

Desmume - Good compabilities (this is to watch for) (no joystick supporting)

iDeaS - So-so compabilities (this is caught up ahead right now) (no joystick supporting)

one thing, if i use any of these emulators, do i need to set the settings or add any extra side programs to these emulators? and Btw does each emulator has its own different kind of ROMS? sorry for mentioning Roms again cause thats the only way i know how to play NDS game on the computer

No but you will need nds bios and firmware for no$gba but desmume and ideas doesnt. yeah, it is illegal to ask where. Google is your friend of course.

hmm so the one i should probably use is the NO$GBA but one question, GBA stands for Game Boy Advanced and im trying to look for the Nintendo DS emulator, its the one with the touch screen and stuff
P.S just making sure everyone understands me

Actually, it did run nds games but be warn that it is not perfectly so when you find that your game is playable but glitches, slow, etc then just be happy with it because this emulator is still in development, understand ? :)

Get it at:

http://nocash.emubase.de/gba.htm

and click:

Download windows version (ca. 130 Kbytes) ----> If you are windows user then grab it. Have fun!

Make sure you unzip this file because no$gba doesnt run in .rar or .zip at all. Unzip it and try again. :)
