WinRAR dowload:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
This is just to extract it. Click on WinRAR x86 (32 bit) 3.93 if your using a 32 bit system (most likely you are) and WinRAR x64 (64 bit) 3.93 if you are using a 64 bit system. WinRAR is not the only program there is to extract files, so if you already have an extracting program you don't need to download it.

FAQ.

Q. The screen just says "The data could not be read. Please turn off the power, then remove and reinsert the DS Game Card" What do i do?
A. press F11, go to NDS Cartridge Backup Media and press FLASH 256Bytes

Q. Absolutely nothing happens
A. Do you have the latest no$gba emulator?

EDIT: There haven't been any version coming out recently, so either the maker of no$gba has died, became broke or just couldn't be bothered to continue making the emulator. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, so just go buy a DS like most people do.

Q Grrr its SO SLOW!!
A. Firstly, calm down. Second, did you watch the video? if not press F11 again, disable sound and put sound sample rate at the lowest. lowest. For emulation Speed change it to Unlimited MHz Disaster, 10%. Thats about all you can do, and if thats still slow for you then you're just gonna have to wait for a new release. Another way is to go to the controls tab and disable the joysticks/gamepads, because i doubt you will ever use them.

Q. What are the controls.
A. You can set them your self... press F11 once again and change the tab to controls. Bottom screen you just click.

Q. The game freezes after the first battle with Starly.
A. Press F11, go to the sound output bar and select either digital stereo or digital mono. Make sure it is not on 'none'. This will enable the sound, and it will slow down the speed of the game however it will not freeze. I have not played past this point, so it could freeze again past that point if you turn the sound off again. It is probably better to keep it on.

Q. How do you save?
A. Currently the default start button is the x button on the keyboard, so press that in game and go down the menu and save. After saving, you can close the program if you want and the next time you open up the game it should have your game file saved. Currently there is no quicksave feature available through the emulator that I am aware of, but feel free to PM me if there is. If you cannot save then I'm sorry i can't really help you.

Q. What is a ROM and a Emulator?
A. The emulator is the console and the ROM is the game. In our case the emulator is the Nintendo DS and the ROM is Pokemon Pearl.

If you were wondering, you must legally own the game before you download the ROM.

[kiwi703]

@IamHSL its in the description box, but basically press X on the keyboard (if you haven't changed the controls around), click on save and the next time you start up the program your save file should be there.
