Nintendo DS 拥有所有 Nintendo 掌上电脑中最好的库之一(best libraries of any Nintendo handheld)，但由于系统独特的物理结构，仿真远非易事。好消息是您的 iPhone 有Nintendo DS模拟器，因此您可以在旅途中玩您最喜爱的 DS 游戏。
坏消息是 iOS 上的大多数 DS 模拟器充其量是粗略的，最坏的情况是公然恶意软件。Apple对(Apple)App Store有一些苛刻的要求，这使得仿真场景成为在Apple吊销其证书之前获取新软件的持续竞争。
因此，您不会在官方App Store中找到任何模拟器。它们都来自第三方来源，通常需要绕过 iOS 设备上的安全协议。请记住这一点，下载任何这些模拟器需要您自担风险——尤其是因为模拟器并非严格合法。
复古拱门
RetroArch是当今最知名的模拟器之一，也是最受支持的模拟器之一。它几乎适用于所有平台，甚至还有官方Steam版本可供下载。在 iOS 上的任何 DS 模拟器中，RetroArch是您最好的选择，即使您必须通过第三方来源下载它。
RetroArch并不是严格意义上的Nintendo DS模拟器。由于有多种不同的内核，它允许您模拟几乎任何控制台。它特别有用，因为它会自动识别大多数游戏手柄。您所要做的就是连接游戏手柄，无需复杂的设置过程即可开始游戏。
您可以通过TweakBox或通过RetroArch 官方网站找到(RetroArch website)RetroArch以供下载。
iNDS 模拟器
iNDS 是另一个适用于 iOS的Nintendo DS模拟器。(Nintendo DS)它需要 iOS 9 或更高版本，但它还需要您的设备越狱才能运行它。如果您没有越狱的 iPhone 或 iPad，则需要寻找不同的模拟器。
iNDS 具有很大的吸引力，因为它能够以每秒 60 帧的速度模拟标题。它是流行的模拟器NDS4iOS的继任者，包括视频过滤器、触觉振动、自动保存等功能。如果您更喜欢使用游戏手柄而不是屏幕控件，也可以禁用触摸屏。
如果您正在玩一个包含许多不可跳过的过场动画的游戏，您可以加快仿真速度以更快地回到动作中。这可以在艰难的 Boss 战之前节省大量过场动画的时间。
iNDS 可以通过TweakBox下载或通过Cydia Impactor侧载。
NDS4iOS
NDS4iOS是 iOS 上(NDS4iOS)任天堂 DS(Nintendo DS)仿真最古老的选项之一，但仍然可用。模拟器有很多值得喜爱的地方，包括直接从DropBox同步文件的能力。这意味着您不必将 rom 直接加载到手机上，这样可以在设置过程中节省大量时间。
NDS4iOS还允许自动保存功能，使您可以在更难的游戏中保存人渣。您还可以跳过帧以加快游戏速度。有屏幕控制，但NDS4iOS支持控制器，让您更好地控制游戏。
用户甚至可以通过AirPlay在他们的移动设备和电视之间同步模拟器，这允许您的 iPhone 或 iPad 充当 Nintendo DS 的下部屏幕，而电视充当顶部屏幕。由于此功能，仿真器设法克服了 DS 仿真面临的主要问题之一。
不幸的是，NDS4iOS可能不会长期可用。iNDS 变得越来越流行并且具有许多相同的功能，这导致许多用户转向更新的模拟器。如果您有兴趣尝试一下，可以从NDS4iOS 网站(NDS4iOS website)下载。
为什么 iOS 上的 DS 模拟器如此之少
Apple对他们在 iOS 上允许的应用程序非常严格，并且内置的安全协议比Android更难克服。虽然Android 是一个名副其实的模拟(Android is a veritable paradise of emulation)和复古游戏天堂，但 iPhone 是一个更加艰难的环境。
当大多数人需要越狱设备才能运行时，开发人员几乎没有动力为 iOS 创建模拟器。即使是绕过越狱要求的应用程序也只能运行大约一半的时间。
如果你下定决心要在 iOS 上模拟Nintendo DS，那是可以做到的，但这并不容易。在许多情况下，您最好从 eBay 购买二手 DS。它们的价格不到 50 美元，然后您可以投资购买闪存车来存储数十个ROM(ROMS)。这是更简单的选择。
这三款Nintendo DS模拟器是 iOS 的最佳选择。虽然确实存在其他模拟器，但大多数都需要早期版本的 iOS，并且不适用于最新版本（撰写本文时为 14.3）。
一句警告
出于所有意图和目的，仿真是不合法的。虽然下载和使用模拟器本身并不违反任何法律（并且有法律先例表明它是合法的），但没有ROM(ROMs)模拟器就毫无用处。
下载ROM违反版权法并且是非法的。虽然一家公司不太可能积极寻求对模仿游戏的人提起诉讼，但总有机会。用户应该意识到这种风险，并意识到他们在下载ROMS(ROMS)时是违法的，除非在极少数例外情况下，例如未经官方许可的开源游戏(open-source games)。
3 Best Nintendo DS Emulators for iOS
The Nintendo DS had one of the best libraries of any Nintendo handheld, but due to the unique physical structure of the system, emulation is far from easy. The good news is that there are Nintendo DS emulators available for your iPhone, so you can play your favorite DS games on the go.
The bad news is that the majority of the DS emulators on iOS are sketchy at best, and blatant malware at worst. Apple has somewhat draconian requirements for the App Store, which makes the emulation scene a constant race to get new software up before Apple revokes its certificate.
As a result, you won’t find any emulators in the official App Store. They all come from third-party sources that often require bypassing the security protocols on your iOS device. Keep that in mind and download any of these emulators at your own risk—especially because emulators are not strictly legal.
RetroArch
RetroArch is one of the most well-known emulators available today, and one of the best supported. It works on nearly every platform and even has an official Steam version available for download. Of any DS emulators on iOS, RetroArch is your best bet, even if you have to download it through third-party sources.
RetroArch is not strictly a Nintendo DS emulator. It allows you to emulate almost any console thanks to a variety of different cores. It’s particularly useful because it will automatically recognize most gamepads. All you have to do is connect your gamepad and you can start playing without a complicated setup process.
You can find RetroArch for download through TweakBox or through the official RetroArch website.
iNDS Emulator
iNDS is another Nintendo DS emulator available on iOS. It requires iOS 9 or above, but it also requires your device to be jailbroken in order to run it. If you don’t have a jailbroken iPhone or iPad, you’ll need to look for a different emulator.
iNDS holds a lot of appeal due to its ability to emulate titles at 60 frames per second. It’s the successor to the popular emulator NDS4iOS and includes features like video filters, haptic vibration, autosaves, and more. You can also disable the touchscreen if you prefer to use a gamepad rather than the on-screen controls.
If you’re playing through a game with a lot of unskippable cutscenes, you can speed up emulation to get back to the action faster. This can save a lot of time on titles with long cutscenes right before a difficult boss fight.
iNDS can be downloaded through TweakBox or sideloaded through Cydia Impactor.
NDS4iOS
NDS4iOS is one of the oldest options for Nintendo DS emulation on iOS that is still available. There’s a lot to love about the emulator, including the ability to sync files straight from DropBox. This means you don’t have to load roms directly onto your phone, which saves a lot of time during setup.
NDS4iOS also allows auto-save functionality, making it possible to save scum your away across the more difficult games. You can also skip frames to speed up gameplay. There are on-screen controls, but NDS4iOS has controller support to give you better control over the game.
Users can even sync the emulator between their mobile device and the TV through AirPlay, which allows your iPhone or iPad to act as the Nintendo DS’s lower screen while the TV serves as the top screen. Thanks to this feature, the emulator manages to overcome one of the major problems facing DS emulation.
Unfortunately, NDS4iOS may not be available for long. iNDS has become more popular and has many of the same features, which has led many users to shift toward the newer emulator. If you’re interested in trying it out, you can download it from the NDS4iOS website.
Why So Few DS Emulators on iOS
Apple is incredibly strict about the applications they allow on iOS, and the built-in security protocols are significantly more difficult to overcome than on Android. While Android is a veritable paradise of emulation and retro gaming, iPhone is a much tougher environment.
Developers have little motivation to create emulators for iOS when the majority require a jailbroken device in order to function. Even applications that bypass the jailbreak requirements only work about half the time.
If you are determined to emulate the Nintendo DS on iOS, it can be done, but it won’t be easy. In many cases, you’re better off purchasing a used DS from eBay. They’re available for less than $50, and then you can invest in a flash cart to store dozens of ROMS. It’s the easier option.
These three Nintendo DS emulators are the best options for iOS. While other emulators do exist, most require earlier versions of iOS and will not work on the most recent version (14.3 at the time of writing.)
A Word of Warning
Emulation, for all intents and purposes, is not legal. While downloading and using an emulator itself doesn’t violate any laws (and has legal precedent that shows it to be legal), emulators are useless without ROMs.
Downloading a ROM is a violation of copyright law and is illegal. While it’s unlikely that a company will actively seek litigation against someone for emulating a game, there is always a chance. Users should be aware of this risk and aware that they are violating the law when downloading ROMS, except in rare exceptions such as open-source games that are not officially licensed.
