Playing
For the absolute best experience, pop the ROM on a flashcart and enjoy!
On an Emulator
But if you're not as bothered as Walter is about doing things with the proper gear, melonDS is the recommended emulator for play due to its accuracy and performance. Alternatively, the latest release of DeSmuME is slightly easier to setup and supports emulating rumble.
To run this on melonDS, you'll need to go into the Emulator Config -> DLDI -> Enable DLDI, since this uses the homebrew nitrofile system. I recommend the Software video emulator for best results to make the models pop, as the OpenGL backend doesn't quite support the DS's hardware-accelerated outlines just yet.
On a modded DSi/3DS
You can also run this on a modded DSi or 3DS with Twilight Menu++ (other game loaders have not been tested). You can download the game ROM by scanning the QR code below in your loader's menu, if your system supports this. Please make sure you use v1.0.3+, or your game may crash on startup!
Unsupported platforms
This won't work on the Wii U Virtual Console emulator. I'm sorry to ruin your dreams. If you run this on a cool setup, take a picture and email me.
