Gauntlet is an unreleased Nintendo DS hack and slash dungeon crawl video game, based on the 1985 arcade game by the same title. The game was originally announced in April 2008 by publisher Eidos Interactive to be developed by Backbone Entertainment, and was scheduled to be released later that year, however as of 2014, it is still unavailable and is likely cancelled.
There are two components for playing a ds Gauntlet game on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the ds OS and software.
The second component is the Gauntlet game itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest NO$GBA – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading NO$GBA , extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the no$gba.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play Gauntlet. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to NO$GBA and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
