Here's the deal:
* Emulators are legal, but using them with ROMs you don't own is not.
* You can find DS emulators online, but be careful: Some websites may contain malware or viruses.
Here's a breakdown:
* Popular DS Emulators: DeSmuME, MelonDS, DraStic (for Android).
* Compatibility: Most DS emulators should be able to run Rune Factory games. However, certain versions might require specific settings for optimal performance.
* ROMs: You need a legal copy of the game to obtain a ROM. It's illegal to download ROMs of games you don't own.
The best way to play Rune Factory is:
1. Buy a DS (or 3DS) console: This ensures you have a legal copy of the game.
2. Buy the game: You can often find used copies for reasonable prices.
Emulation is great for trying out games you're unsure about, but remember to support the developers by buying games you enjoy.
