HowTo: Play GTA: Chinatown Wars on PC
Don’t have a DS but want to play GTA: Chinatown Wars on PC? Or just cannot be fucked having to bust it out every time you want to play a game? Great, because it works fine on PC! I’ve only been playing it for 5 minutes but it appears to work 99% correctly – A little slow at times but otherwise great. Haven’t tried saving the game yet so I’m not sure there.

You will need:
- GTA: Chinatown Wars – Probably worth buying legit and then ripping to the HDD. Or don’t. Pick up the game from somewhere. I guess just make sure it is in NDS format.
- No$gba Emulator 2.5c – This emulator works almost ‘out-of-the-box’ for GTA:CW. Apparently DeSmuME works as well if you manually compile the latest version straight from the SVN.
Instructions:
Step 1. Load up No$gba and go to Options > Emulation Setup. Change NDS Cartridge Backup Media to FRAM 32KBytes. Hit OK.
Step 2. Go to Options > Save Options to save the options permanently.
Step 3. You’re done! Drag ‘n’ drop the game in or open it from the File menu. Simple as that!
