Gaming Do DSi exclusive games work on the Wii U emulator?

[YukidaruPunch]

So yeah, thread. I've been wanting to play X-Scape, a WiiWare DSi exclusive game, but I never had a DSi. Can I play it on Wii U by injecting it in another DS game? Or does the Wii U emulator only works for DS native games?

X-scape is a DSiWare title, not a WiiWare title, by the way...
Anyway, you can play it on NO$GBA provided you have a DSi NAND backup, which you can get from a certain Reddit thread (possibly on the Megalinks subreddit, can't remember).

Oops. Never used any of their online services, didn't realize they had different names.

So, DSi games don't work on Wii U? I really dislike playing games on PC, so I'd rather play it on Wii U if I had the chance.

It's impossible I'm afraid.
The DS uses the Nitro architecture, while the DSi uses the Twilight architecture.

If you have a 3ds it should be possible. I don't think all DSi games are on the eshop anylonger so you'd have to download it.

Any update on this? I would really like to play Shantaei which was a DSIware game but it doesnt seem to work on Loadiine
