 * (Got no DS option) /v/'s recommended emulators for the Nintendo DS are DeSmume and No$Gba with No$zoomer, you can find the latest versions on 4chan's /rs/, and several more apps in this thread, including frontends, skins, and a program to fix the crackling audio in New Super Mario Bros and others.
 * (Got a DS or have cash option) Buy a DS (If you can), get a good flashCart and go nuts! Acekard 2i and CycloDS are typically the best. R4 is outdated and should be avoided when buying a flashcart, however, with the R4 you can increase the compatibility to an ALMOST comparable amount with a custom firmware, such as R4 wood (recommended) or YSmenu.
 * Notice: DSI and DSI XL have no GBA slot and higher anti-piracy software so when buying your handheld please choose wisely.

Nintendo DSiWare


The DSiware has gotten better off since its rough start and there's now some great stuff to check out if you're a DSi user. However, if you don't have one yet, you might consider waiting for the 3DS, which will "SUPPOSEDLY" have DSiware on it. (We'll see.) If you can't wait for that, you might buy an XL for your (grand)parents and play it when they're asleep or not looking.

Nintendo DS Homebrew
Chances are, you're from /v/, you like DS, you have a flashcart.

So load up with some homebrew, it can be pretty worth while.
