How to Blow in the Microphone on DS Emulator

Many games on the Nintendo Dual Screen (DS) utilize the device's microphone as a part of the game mechanics. Games force you to speak or blow into the microphone to complete certain levels. Often, Nintendo DS emulators fail to offer an alternative for microphone-based mechanics. However, the emulator No Cash GBA (No$GBA) recognizes your computer's microphone as the Nintendo DS microphone. The emulator is available for free on its official website and functions with Windows computers.
