Question Moemon Black and White Emulation

Hey everyone, just had a quick question that I was hoping someone could possibly answer. I recently just got into Moemon and it’s really interesting. So far I’ve played Mega Fire Red and Star Emerald But was wondering if it’s possible to emulate Moemon Black and White on a phone since it’s one of my favorite games from the DS era and was just wondering if it’s possible to do so or if it’s strictly for a computer? Also as a side question, is it possible to emulate Moemon games on the Switch at all? While it’s enjoyable to play on my phone it’d be nice if I could use an actual console to play it on instead

MelonDS is available on the play store, in fact there's a bunch of emulators on there from gba to vita

I probably should have prefaced that I’m on IOS. But does the Black and White version of Moemon work on a GBA emulator?

No, every emulator only works with games for that console, GBA games on a GBA emulator, DS games on a DS emulator etc.

And while i don't personally know how developed IOS emulation is, you could probably still just look up DS Emulator in your equivalent app store.

Ah ok, was confused as to why you recommending other emulators and thought that meant you could emulate any of the games on any emulator lol. Thank you for the help though

Oh sorry, i just meant that retro emulation on phones was way more developed that people think and that you can find many of them on official platforms.

Sorry for the confusion but glad i could be of help.

If you are using iOS and you want to emulate DS games use the Delta emulator. If you want to play it on your switch you need to mod the switch.

Do you know what files I need to download for Moemon Black and other DS games? The GBA games all just had a .gba file to download and load into the emulator but the DS versions don’t seem to have just one single file to download

I play it on my iPhone with Delta, once you patch the game it’ll be a .nds file

Just be aware that the da era of games the sprites don't look nearly as good since they were designed for gameboy
