It's been a long time since emulators for iOS They do not make their appearance by the community, every year after the announcement of the jailbreak of the new version of iOS, many of us are waiting for apps like NDS4iOS or PPSSPP to be updated and made compatible to be able to enjoy the potential of our device and the advantages of those leisure environments.
This year it seems that things have gotten tough for PPSSPP, and because of some technical problems related to internal changes in iOS 9 we will have to wait patiently and pray that this emulator survives this new version, however NDS4iOS is still compatible with iOS 9, and now it has taken a step further, being possible to install it without jailbreak.
On many occasions there are pages that are dedicated to rescuing exiled apps from the AppStore and introduce them certificates In order to be installed on iOS without going through the big A, I am talking about, for example, the iEmulators website, which has always made sure to allow the installation of these applications from Safari itself and without the need for jailbreak.
This time it is iOSEM who has brought us back the Nintendo DS and DSi emulator NDS4iOS, and today we will explain how to install it.
Installation tutorial
Step 1:
From our iOS device we open Safari and access the following address iosem.us/app/install/nds.html
Step 2:
When this screen appears, click install and accept the warning that will tell us "iosem.us is trying to install" nds4ios ""
Step 3:
Go back to the home screen of your device and wait for the app to install.
Step 4:
Before opening the app, go to Settings> General> Profiles and you will find an installed profile like the one in the image above, click on it.
Step 5:
iOS will show you profile information including which app it belongs to (nds4iOS), click on Trust "the profile name" and accept the following message.
Now you will have the app installed and it will allow you to run it, it only remains to include ROMS, a function that was previously done from the app itself but Nintendo managed to remove that function and now it is done from the PC or MAC, we will show you how to do it.
Game Transfer Tutorial
Step 1:
Search the internet for the ROM you want to download, we cannot put links as it infringes copyright, but it shouldn't take you more than a Google search.
Tip: Look for a rom with (E) or Europe in the name to make sure it's in your language and you don't download the English or Japanese version.
Step 2:
If the downloaded ROM is compressed be sure to unzip it, you can use WinRAR on Windows or Keka on OS X, the resulting file should be ".nds".
Step 3:
Open iTunes and connect your iOS device to your PC or Mac.
Step 4:
In the Applications section installed on your iPhone, go to the bottom to see those that support file transfers, locate and click on NDS4iOS.
Step 5:
Drag the ".nds" file to the list on the right (empty if there is no ROM already loaded) and check on your iPhone that it has been loaded correctly in the NDS4iOS app.
If everything went well, you already have it, now start the desired ROM and enjoy your favorite Nintendo DS games on your OS device.
Note: Only devices with an A7 chip or higher will be able to run all Nintendo DS games at 60 fps (iPhone 5s or higher), iPhone 5 or devices with A6 chip will run games acceptably and those with an A5 chip ( iPhone 4s, iPod Touch 5G) depending on the game it will be below 20 fps.
xD or crazy I install a Chinese certificate of unknown origin on my mobile, let's go, and as a developer I do not recommend anyone to do it.
Thanks for the advice. But where could you play these classic games?
Luis, for God's sake, buy a DS you find second-hand in good condition, much better
sorry you find 🙂
I can not find a page that has rooms that work 🙁
I can't give you any, I'm sorry, however you can Google «roms nds» and you will find it, it's easy 😀
This sounds like giving a free pass for the mobile to be plagued with viruses.
I don't have much idea of the real risk you take by installing this certificate. Can someone explain it to me a bit to decide whether to install or not?
Thank you very much and greetings!
This answer works for you as well as for the two Alexandros above:
Installing a profile of unknown origin in iOS poses a security risk, especially depending on the type of profile it is, these profiles can include passwords for Wi-Fi networks, VPN settings, credentials, security policies and much more paraphernalia.
With a specific type of profile, you can remotely know the apps installed on a device and various other data about it, such as the battery percentage and others, you can also remotely establish security policies (management of the password to access the device, however this cannot be changed, only require the user to change it from the device every X time or to be complex instead of a PIN), and even install WebClips, some apps on the Sprignboard that are shortcuts to webs .
These are just a few of the uses and types of profiles available, now, let's move on to the profile that installs this website in question:
The profile installed by iOSEM.US is a business certificate, this profile is used to authorize the opening of applications outside the AppStore (NDS4iOS in this case), the user can trust the profile and the apps installed with this certificate can be executed in the device without going through the Apple store, this implies that we can open the emulator without being approved by Apple and all the other apps that are installed with the same certificate, nothing more, this does not open the door to install other apps without your consent , it only implies that all the apps that are installed with this certificate (having allowed their installation by accepting from Safari the warning that asks to install an app) can be run on your device, from Settings> General> Profiles> TARGET PROFILE they will be able to be known which apps are installed using this profile and even revoke the trust granted and delete all the apps that contain it.
What conclusions do we draw?
1. It is dangerous to install profiles from unknown sources as it implies that any app installed with this profile can be opened by the user, even if it contains malware.
2. Emulators are apps that Apple does not support in the AppStore and that is why they must make use of these websites and these certificates in order to be installed and used as before with the trick of changing the date.
3. This specific profile should not pose any danger, I myself have it installed and confident and I use NDS4iOS without any problem and without my device having an unusual behavior (you can always restrict the use of data from this app for example) , if you distrust it, it is as simple as not installing any more app from Safari.
4. It is always possible to delete profiles and the apps associated with them to regain the security we had before.
I hope I have resolved your doubts, nor Actualidad iPhone Neither I nor I are responsible for the use that may be given to this profile. That said, I have it installed and I trust it on my device without any inconvenience.
Bro I don't get the apps on iTunes, only the Netflix one, what can I do?
The one that has been installed for 2 days no longer turns on it does not work
It turns on and off
Mario, Salpa and Boja, you are not the first to tell me something like this, on my device with iOS 9.1 it continues to work and iTunes recognizes the apps, it seems that you are not the only ones who have this problem, I recommend that you always save your games that you can do it either on the PC or in the cloud and in the event that you do not find a way to do it or to solve the problem, uninstall the profile and the app (since these will not help you in that situation), I would give you some solution but it is iOSEM.US who can investigate the matter ...
It happens to me exactly the same. I was doing perfectly and now he won't let me in ...
Hi Juan, what happens to me with the emulator is that I install it well for two days, everything is ok
But then there is only the icon left
I do not understand what happens
Thank you
I have tried to delete it and install it again and I:
«Unable to download the app. Right now you can't install nds4ios »
It seems that Apple has blocked it ... O_o
I have iOS 9.2 and it does not install an emulator, or old versions, will it be for the new operating system of my iPhone?
I recently upgraded to IOS 9.3 and it doesn't give me the option of profiles.
It does not allow me to download
It does not finish the download for me, it always freezes before finishing and throws me the message "the download cannot be completed now", this surprises me because with the GBA emulator I had no problems installing and running it. Maybe it's just random bad luck.
How can I use it on the iPad, the file says .nds and I synchronize it with Dropbox but the room does not appear in the application
