NDS4iOS is a powerful Nintendo DS console emulator is a part of the multi-platform DeSmuME 0.9.10 for non-jailbreak iOS Devices, Created by InfiniDev from the original Nintendo DS apps, Originally, it was created only for Jailbroken users but, now it is available for Non Jailbreak devices. This simple compatible with all iOS firmware and let you to play Popular and old school days DS console games on your iPhone or iPad. Depending on your iOS Device and its running firmware, It emulates the games in high speed with rich graphics. But if you using iPhone 4 or below resulting Game may stuck or slow process.
When compared to other DS Emulator apps, NDS4iOS has more number of features like Dropbox and iCloud Support, BIOS support, External game controller support etc. Below we listed some of best features of this emulator
Note: Virtually all the latest iOS devices are 2FA enabled, which means that an error is likely to occur when you attempt to sideload IPA files using Cydia Impactor. If you see the error, the only way out of it is to go into your Apple account, click on Security>App-Specific Password, and generate a password. Copy the password so it goes on your Clipboard.
NDS4iOS allows you to play many Nintendo games without needing to get Cydia on your iPhone or iPad, and completely free. Emulators will always be popular, and NDS4iOS offers thousands of games to choose from, one of the biggest selections of any emulator today.
The 3DS has better graphics (and sold better). Concerning the ROMs I think that will just be a tug of quality, because the 3ds is better I think the NDS will be substandard to its brother. I think that a ROM for the NDS cam work on the 3DS but I am quite sure you cannot use the 3ds ROM on the NDS because of its backward compatibility
It is not possible. Although the structure is more or less the same, the 3DS has a new firmware, which has yet to be emulated. There is no 3DS-emulator out yet, but you could hack 3DS-roms like normals ROMs, because the system is still the same.
This all comes down to backward compatibility, as does every other device. A newer device will generally play old content (with a few exceptions). However, an older device will not play newer content; this is either due to drivers, graphics, core framework and the like...

I recall that this is possible in the "no$gba" emulator. This will give you the Pokemon available via trading, but if there are Pokemon only available in the other game version of said generation, you won't be able to get those.
The Nintendo DS (NDS) is a handheld console produced by Nintendo and released on November 21, 2004, and had 2 ARM CPUs (ARM9 and ARM7) with 4 MBs of RAM and was priced at $149.99. The main selling point was the use of dual screens for gameplay, with one being a touchscreen. It is the only console to have come close to the PlayStation 2 in lifetime sales (154.02 million units), as a result of attracting a large number of casual players, and even non-gamers, into the gaming community.
The major challenge with emulating multiplayer functionalities is timing inaccuracies, which have made many projects, such as DeSmuME, not want to implement them. So far, the only emulator to actually make any progress is melonDS, but even that is still under development.
melonDS supports wireless communication with several games, including New Super Mario Bros. and the Pokmon games, but you need to have either multiple instances opened, which can slow down overall performance, or connect multiple computers via LAN. No$GBA can connect but fails before the actual connection is finished.
This feature allows players with a DS and only one copy of a game to play together. This way, not everyone needs a copy of a game. The player with the physical cartridge will host the game while the other players connect using a "downloaded" version received from the host. Normally they are either simple mini-games, stripped-down demos of the main game, or a limited version of multiplayer. In most cases, it's better to use multi-cart instead. However, some games, like Mario Party DS, require Download Play to use its multiplayer.
Download Play is supported by melonDS. Like with local multiplayer, it is very hit-and-miss but unlocking the framerate helps. melonDS will often fail during the download process, but some games actually go as far as booting and sometimes in-game as well.
Uses wireless communication on the DS to connect to the Wii. The idea is parallel to the GBA Link Cable for the GameCube, and just like the Link Cable, only a handful of games actually have this feature. Some notable examples include:
It's unknown if No$GBA supports this, but it can be done in DeSmuME by going to Config > Slot 2 (GBA Slot) and selecting GBA Cartridge. Select the GBA ROM file, and make sure its .sav file is in the same folder. You may need to reset the game for it to take effect. As of version 0.9, melonDS supports GBA connectivity and even added support for the solar sensor on GBA Boktai cartridges used in Boktai DS (Lunar Knight), something DeSmuME has yet to support. Either drag and drop the GBA ROM onto the program before starting or open the file before loading the NDS file.
The Nintendo DS is backward compatible with Game Boy Advance (GBA) cartridges. Should not be confused with Game Boy Advance emulation or GBA/DS connectivity. None of the emulators supports this feature currently.
iQue is Nintendo's Chinese subsidiary (previously a partnership between them and Wei Yen until 2013), so when they released the DS with a few localized games, their ROMs had special flags set in them to check if the hardware that ran the cartridge was iQue's or Nintendo's as a sort of region lock. Nintendo's own hardware would fail this check, throwing an "Only for iQue DS" error in white text on a black background. No other DS games have this mechanism, not even for Korean releases. This region lock is bypassed by the 3DS for these DS games, even though 3DS games have their own region lock. It's weird.
Emulators differ in their behavior to this region lock. No$GBA crashes, while DeSmuME can load them. However, for melonDS, you need a Firmware Dump from an iQue DS, otherwise, it will replicate the region lock.
Released on April 5, 2009, the Nintendo DSi added new lighting effects, an inner and outer 0.3 megapixel digital cameras, 16MB of RAM (compared to the previous 4MB of RAM), a faster ARM9 CPU clocked at 133 MHz, and offered downloadable titles called "DSiWare". It cost $169.99 at launch and later dropped to $149.99. The system, however, was region-locked, meaning that DSi exclusives from different regions couldn't be used. It also did away with backwards-compatiblity by removing Slot-2 which was used to load GBA cartridges and certain accessories (such as the Rumble Pak).
DSi emulation has been pretty neglected due to its small library of exclusive games and lack of DSi-enhanced titles that provide anything major besides camera support. The only thing really notable is DSiWare, which saw several exclusive releases.
No$GBA added support for DSi games of all three formats starting with version 2.8, although some games won't boot and others have graphical glitches. You'll need to enable "16MB DSi/retail" under the settings in order to use it. Compatibility is very iffy due to No$GBA's already poor DS emulation, and the camera is just spoofed as a static image and will cause the emulator to crash whenever used, meaning games that uses it may boot, but won't be very playable.
DSi used an encryption system for the game dumps that went on to be enhanced and used for the 3DS. This encryption is checked at start-up, hence why some Nintendo DS emulators don't even manage to boot DSiWare dumps. It's very unlikely DSi-mode emulation is ever going to be implemented in DeSmuME in particular due to various creative differences unique to that project.
As of version 0.9, melonDS has DSi emulation. It can connect to the internet and can play games with WFC online using libslirp or libpcap. It could become the most usable option for DSi emulation in the near future. Most of it is being done using the documentation that the No$GBA dev has already compiled on the subject[4] (GBATEK).
All three formats can be converted to .nds format. Compared to regular DS games, DSi games have some additional header information that wasn't even correctly dumped in most early sets. Recent sets have since updated to the correct format. DSiWare dumps can exist in both .nds format and .cia format (for installation on a homebrewed 3DS).
