    Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to this, I have the R4ds and I was just curious. Can I download a rom from another system, I.E. PS, Dreamcast, and play it on my DS. I searched around on the forums and couldn't find anything...Any input would be appreciated...Thanks.

    No. You can play NES GBC, Genesis, GameGear and SNES games on DS. That's it. For everything else, get yourself a PSP.

    And this is in the wrong section, so remember for next time. (Hate to minimod, but you seemed like a newbie)

    As a rule you cannot play console games on a handheld unless the console is at least two generations older than the handheld. (the exception is you can play PSX games on a PSP).

    @DomeFossil: You could just have given an answer in a more kind manner, no need to make new guys feel worse than they already are for asking an innocent enough question as this :)

    you need an emulator built specifically for the NDS. for GBA games i think i used something called Lameboy
    for SNES games i used SNEmulDS

    i believe for both you need to create a specific file path for both the emulator and the roms you plan to use
    and once again, like someone mentioned before, check here https://www.romulation.org/forum/index.php/topic,5002.0.html

    No, GBA games can't be played except if you have a Slot 2.
