For you to do the next step, you will need to install the BIOS file. Now you will not get it with this application bundle. Most developers are aware of the legal issues related to such files and will not include them in their application. Without them, you won’t be able to play with your emulator. In addition to installing the BIOS file, you will also require a ROM file of your game. Make sure you have the original copy of the game. The emulator can also support .nds ROM format. You might want to name your file with a “.nds” extension.

Set-Up and Enjoy

You can transfer ROMs to a different folder on your SD card. Using your phone’s USB mass storage to transfer game files will be a great option. For easy navigation, rename your folder into NDS Games. Open your emulator, navigate the folder, look for ROM, and double tap on it to begin. You can control the characters in the game using the buttons on the screen.
