What is NooDS?
The goal of NooDS is to be a fast and portable DS and GBA emulator. It features accurate software rendering with upscaling, and can take advantage of multiple cores for better performance. I started working on NooDS for fun and as a learning experience, and I'd like to keep it that way. If people are interested and get use out of it, that's a bonus!
Downloads
NooDS is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, Switch, Wii U, and Vita. The latest builds are automatically provided via GitHub Actions, and can be downloaded from the releases page. Usage NooDS should be able to run most things without any setup. DS BIOS and firmware files must be provided to boot the system menu, and can be dumped from a DS with DSBF Dumper. The firmware must come from an original DS; DSi and 3DS dumps don't contain any boot code. A GBA BIOS file can be optionally provided, and can be dumped from many systems with this dumper. File paths can be configured in the settings menu. Save types are automatically detected, but this may not always be accurate. If you run something and it has issues with saving, the save type can be overriden in the file menu.
