LunaDS
LunaDS emulates Nintendo DS, DSi, and 3DS systems on iOS, with support for their native menu systems. It automatically resumes a game from where you left off, and the maker says 3DS games can be saved and loaded instantly. The App Store listing also describes local multiplayer for DS and DSi and says the app works offline. Custom skins made for Delta and Manic are supported. The maker says the app is optimized for Apple hardware. LunaDS has a free plan at free, plus two optional in-app purchases: a LunaDS Supporter Unlock for $2 as a one-time purchase and a Donation for $2, paid once. The App Store listing requires iOS 17.6 or later on iPhone and iPadOS 17.6 or later on iPad. The app does not include games or system files; users must provide their own legally obtained backups and BIOS files. The maker links to an App Store download and says a JIT IPA will be available soon.
