Trusted Emulation Host?

[simadons]

For the longest time I have been using VBA. All was fine and dandy until my virus scanner found out it had a virus. Dose anybody have good recommendation for a good GBA or DS emulator that is free?

I believe this thread follows all the rules required for the mainfourm.

For emulating GBA games, Visual Boy Advance is definitely worth a consideration. It's one of the best (if not the best) emulator for that system that is currently available.
Of course there are other good ones as well.

For the NDS, DeSmuME is currently one of the fastest developing emulators, and is worth having a look at.
Of course, there are a lot of alternatives as well.

A Google search will lead you to a lot of sites offering tons of emulators for download, and even have reviews about them.

I dont think theres any emulators that fully support DS games.

Commercial games are not fully supported yet, and that will still take a while.
However, homebrews and function demos are running pretty well already.

Thanks for the quick reply. I shall google your recommendations.

I was thinking, with newer system, such as the Wii, making emulators will become harder to make, with motion sensitive games and such.

Correct. While the Nintendo SDKs should have no issues emulating it (developers get all the needed hardware or command control) it's going to be a difficult implementation.
