The Nintendo DS was a vastly different gaming experience when it was originally released back in 2004. In the present, the DS is fondly remembered with a host of great games! Thanks to emulation, you can also now play an overwhelming amount of those games on any number of devices. In this video, I will show you how to get Nintendo DS games running in the PC version of Retroarch with the Melon DS Core!
