Games

Screenshot	Title	Genre	Description
	Pocket Physics	Sandbox	A miniature homebrew version of Crayon Physics, draw shapes which are subject to gravity and physics. Unlike Crayon Physics, there are no objectives, so go nuts and be creative.
	LemmingsDS	Puzzle	It's Lemmings, on your DS. Need I say more? Includes all the levels of the original Lemmings and Oh No More Lemmings, as well as a couple extra ones. Also accepts custom levels and music. Plays very well.
	Brix DS	Puzzle	A clone of a flash game that works pretty well on the DS. Made by a french guy. You have to click on the gray blocks to make them disappear and keep the TNT from touching the ground after they're all gone.
	OpenTyrian DS	Shoot 'em up	A ported version of opentyrian, which on it's own is a port of one of the greatest classics in PC sidescrollers, Tyrian.
	TouhouDS	Shoot 'em up	A handheld version of the popular japanese shmup series.  Still in the works, but looks promising.
	DS Doom	FPS	It's Doom. Runs at a good framerate, and plays the commercial and fanmade WADs. Fully working sound (in stereo) but no music.
	Quake DS	FPS	It's Quake. Runs at a good framerate, and supports mods. Runs better if you have a RAM pack. Plus, it supports online multiplayer.
	SCUMMVM DS	Adventure	Play your favourite point-and-click games on the NDS.

Emulators

	Nes DS	NES	Play most NES games on your DS flawlessly, supports savestates, rewind, fast forward.
	Lameboy	Game Boy GB Color	Play most Gameboy/Color games on your DS flawlessly, supports savestates, scaling (with a filter), speed up (to about 2x), and a ton of options. You can even use the DS rumble pack with Pokémon Pinball!
	NeoDS	Neo Geo	Lets you play Neo Geo games on your DS, surprisingly well! You'll need to convert your Neo Geo games into a .neo format for the emulator though.
	SNEmulDS	SNES	The best SNES emulator for the DS... but that's not saying a lot. Some games are buggy, some totally unplayable, sound glitches, graphical glitches galore, but you can actually play a few games on this at a good speed with no problems. Be sure to check the compatibility list.
	SnemulDS Revival	SNES	Same as the last one but a continued fork, based off of the v0.6a sources. Here's the compatibility list.
	jEnesisDS	Mega Drive	A Genesis/Megadrive emulator for the DS. Plays games very well with limited vertical scaling. Don't complain about the lack of horizontal scaling, you can at adjust the screen using L/R or "follow D-pad" in the options.
