Emulator: DraStic
Complete collection of firmware files for BizHawk version 2.5.2 and 2.6. Thanks to commenters @elfor and @Shinobi87 for pointing out the missing files. Note that the Nintendo DS firmware has to be set explicitly, because the firmware also contains user name etc., so that the hash will not match. Here are the included files, for easier reference.
Note that while DraStic may run very well, it is currently experimental beta software. Any games that use the microphone will only create noise and will not use a real microphone, Also any games in 'bookmode' (e.g Brain Training) will always play rotated at 90 degrees and cannot be rotated in Drastic.
BIOS
The default installation of DraStic includes simulated BIOS files that will work in most cases. Actual BIOS files (listed above) can be added to
