Running emulators on the Nintendo DSi

[Kherr]

I just purchased a Nintendo DSi yesterday and love it to death. However, I cannot seem to get any emulators running on it and I would love to play SNES on it (not to mention putting a Genesis and GBA emu on it as well, maybe even a playstation emu if it's possible). The thing uses an SD card, but I can't seem to get any kind of info on how to get an emulator running on it, everything is in codes... So I'm kinda getting upset, and I don't have a lot of time to find out, nor do I know exactly what to look for. I've found two SNES emus for it: SnesDS and SNEmulDS. I can't get either one to run. Can anyone PLEASE help me out, this is very annoying. Thanks.

I'm using a DANE ELEC 4GB MircoSDHC with respective adaptor to make it a full size SDHC card. Apparently what card you have also determines getting an emu to run on it as well. The site I was following instructions on is http://www.snemul.com/ds/?page_id=22. Hope that helps those who know what they're doing. T_T

I take it you alreay know about Nintendo DS Homebrew site. I have not tried emulating any other playform on my DS yet but would love to know how you get on.

Dude. I managed to use an ACTION REPLAY DSi and put MOONSHELL 1.71, wintendos 2.05 english (winxp for ds), and SNEMULDS 0.6 on it. I can play snes games on my dsi now. The ARDSi is probably one of the best things I've spent 20 bucks on in quite the while. I had no idea it was capable of doing that...

Please post the details on where you bought it. Can you run other emulators on the DS as well?

I bought it at meijer, but I'm sure you can buy a copy from the source. Code Junkies themselves. :

You'll need to DLDI patch everything to run on it.

DLDIrcSetup <-- DLDI patch installer (for use with just simply right-clicking on a .nds file and enabling a context menu to DLDI patch it immediately)

Thus far there is a NES emu that will run on it, the SNEmulDS 0.6 (SNES Emu) runs on it, Moonshell 1.71 runs on it, and here's a list of other emulators that can be ran on a DS/DS Lite/DSi/DSiXL (not necessarily on an Action Replay DSi, but maybe after DLDI patching it could be possible.

Thanks for that Kherr. I will have a go at this at some stage.
