[^2]: Only for retail ROMs, homebrew do not have specific save files
[^3]: Only works from a SuperCard DSTWO flashcard as it has additional processing power and RAM inside the cartridge
[^4]: When running in DSi Mode, it can use the DSP for better sound
[^5]: Requires a Slot-2 flashcard and thus only works on DS Phat and DS Lite
[^6]: jEnesis can only save when running from a flashcard, but PicoDriveTWL can save from SD and flashcard
[^7]: Only shown when using a flashcard, 3DS's internal SD card, or DSi with Unlaunch installed
[^8]: Can only save when running from a flashcard
The are just recommended emulators that are present in TWiLight Menu++. There are other emulators for these consoles (such as lolSnes, Gbaemu4ds, etc.)

## Some notes on specific emulators:
#### jEnesisDS, SNEmulDS, neoDS
- In order for jEnesisDS, neoDS and SNEmulDS to work on the DSi SD card, you'll have to use a RAM disk with nds-bootstrap.
- RAM disk makers exist for jEnesisDS & SNEmulDS and are built into TWiLight Menu++. You will need to create your own RAM disk for neoDS.
- The reason why we use RAM disks is because these emulators' ARM7 hooks don't work properly.

#### Is this a DS(i) emulator?
No, this is not an emulator. The menu and DS games (loaded via nds-bootstrap) are ran natively in the console's DS/DSi mode. The only consoles emulated are the past consoles, but partially for GBA (as some or all parts like graphics are ran natively).

#### Why isn't touch input working on sudokuhax?
Depending on the save file of sudokuhax, the touch screen inputs may not work.
