iNDS

Supports iOS 8.1 - 9.2.

iNDS is a derivation of the previous Nintendo DS apps for iOS, nds4ios and Nitrogen.

Nitrogen

Currently, emulation is powered by the DeSmuME threaded ARM interpreter and runs at nearly full speed on the iPhone 5 and above.

Due to the need to mmap the entire ROM into memory, older devices with only 256MB of RAM are not supported. These devices include the iPod touch 4, iPad 1, iPhone 3GS, and anything below those devices.

2. Go to the "Apps Section" and scroll until you see "iNDS", tap it
3. Tap "Download Page"
4. Tap "iNDS" again.
5. Hit install followed by "Install iNDS"

NOTE: If the certificate does get revoked and you do not have Dropbox Sync enabled but wish to keep your save files you will have to leave the app UNDELETED until it gets a new certificate. Check weekly or follow iEmulators' twitter.

Option 2a: Compile and install iNDS from the Xcode IDE

Please Do not redistribute self-compiled versions of iNDS on other sites.

Compile and install iNDS from the Xcode IDE

IMPORTANT: Make sure your working directory is devoid of spaces. Otherwise, bad things will happen.

1. Clone the iNDS Git repository. You may do this from a Terminal instance with the command git clone https://github.com/WilliamLCobb/iNDS.git, or from a Git frontend like SourceTree.

2. Open "iNDS.xcodeproj" located within the cloned "iNDS" folder.

3. Connect your iOS device and let Xcode Organizer associate itself with your device.

4. In the Xcode IDE, select "iOS Device" (or "$YOUR_NAME's iPhone") and make sure you are using the Release configuration.

5. Click the "Run" button or press Command + R.

6. Please note that if you are using a jailbroken device, this installation of iNDS will be treated as a non-jailbroken installation. If you want to compile a jailbroken version of iNDS yourself, please see Option 2a below.

Option 2b: Compile and install iNDS using the Makefile (Jailbroken users only!)

1. Clone the iNDS Git repository. You may do this from a Terminal instance with the command git clone https://github.com/WilliamLCobb/iNDS.git, or from a Git frontend like SourceTree.

2. If you have not yet opened a Terminal instance, do so now.

3. Make sure THEOS_DEVICE_IP is defined. You can do so by running export THEOS_DEVICE_IP=<your iOS device's IP address>.

4. cd to the cloned "iNDS" folder, and run make install.

5. iNDS will compile and scp itself to your iOS device.
