Play Nintendo DS Games on a PC

The Nintendo DS is a popular handheld video game system. The system's library includes a mix of 3D games and traditional 2D games, as well as many genres invented for the machine. The touch-screen functionality allows innovative styles of games and gameplay never before dreamed of. If you own DS games and wish to play them on your PC as well, there is emulation software that will allow you to do so. You can play the Nintendo DS game on PC following the method above.

1 Download and install a Nintendo DS emulator. This is the software that runs Nintendo DS games on your PC. Think of it as "fooling" the PC into thinking it is running Nintendo DS hardware, thus accepting the software. There are several popular Nintendo DS emulators, you should feel free to search for one that works best with your machine.

2 Download ROM files to run on your emulator. ROM files are the software that works with an emulator to run Nintendo DS games on your PC. There is a huge community of programmers creating software that is legal to run on a Nintendo DS emulator. A link to one directory of such software is available in the Resources section. Save the ROM files to a convenient directory that will be easily accessed by your emulator software.

3 Open the emulator software. Point the software to the ROM file you wish to open (typically by opening the emulator's File menu and selecting "Open" or "Load".) Once the ROM has booted up, use your PC's keyboard to replicate the button layout of the Nintendo DS, and the mouse to mimic the system's touch screen. Most emulators allow you to specify the keyboard layout you prefer to use to play games.
