iDeaS is a plugin-based Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS emulator for Microsoft Windows and Linux… Created by Lino & Actarus iDeaS is a plugin-based Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS emulator for Microsoft Windows and Linux, using the GTK+ toolkit. The touch screen is fully emulated with a mouse cursor instead of a stylus, and a keyboard can be used to emulate the DS buttons. iDeaS uses a plugin system so that further support can be achieved without looking at the source code of the emulator. Support for the DS microphone was added in version 1.0.3.0, with a plugin downloadable from the main page. More Info »Audio is quite compatible with most games though there is still some room for improvement.A debugger is provided with the emulator, which Lino has stated as ‘mainly for developers’.iDeaS has limited Wi-Fi emulation, which only acts as a “dud” Wi-Fi plugin, bringing no true wifi, but allowing it to unlock features of DS games that need wifi support to be accessed.
