IDEAS

'iDeaS' is a Nintendo DS emulator that can run a few commercial NDS games on Windows PC with OpenGL. So far iDeaS has emulated the ARM7 GBA processor at 100%, but the ARM9 dual screen processor at 90%. The touch screen is fully emulated with a cursor instead of hand, and a keyboard can be used to emulate the DS buttons. The emulator is able to play NDS games but the touchscreen is unstable at the moment according to the release notes. iDeaS uses a plugin system that came originally from UltraHLE N64 emulator so that further support can achieved without looking at the source code of the emulator. There are three plugins currently available. One for the 3D graphics, one for AVI Capture, and one for sound. The audio plugin has been updated to version 1.0.0.1 beta. All of these are available to download on the homepage.
The latest released version on the Homepage (1.0.1.7) runs many commercial ROMs, including ''Super Mario 64 DS'' and ''Pokémon Diamond & Pearl'' (with a few graphical errors).
