NooDS aims to be a fast and portable Nintendo DS emulator. It's not quite there speed-wise, but it offers most other features that you might expect from a DS emulator. It even supports GBA backwards compatibility.
NooDS is available on Android, Linux, macOS, Switch, Vita and Windows. Automatic builds are provided via GitHub Actions; you can download them on the releases page.
Installation
NooDS should be able to run most things without additional setups.
DS BIOS and firmware files must be provided to boot from the DS menu, which can be dumped from a DS with DSBF Dumper. The firmware must be dumped from an original DS; DSi and 3DS dumps don't have any boot code.
A GBA BIOS file must be provided to run GBA games, which can be dumped from many systems with this dumper. The BIOS and firmware file paths can be set in the settings.
Although not always accurate, save types are automatically detected. Manual alteration of the save type is needed if you load a new game and saving does not work.
