Try wine......

If you can get your hands on a DS emulator for windows , you can use that emulator to do whatever gaming you might want to.

Wine runs it smoothly,I used this method so that my bro can play pokemon on his PC....


So, Try it....

Sorry I totally missed this the first read..
You don't have an error with DS emu, you have an APT error.

Find the apt package on the install cd or download it from packages.ubuntu.com and reinstall it with dpkg

one you have the file do save to your desktop
then open Terminal and type the following:

cd ~/Desktop
sudo dpkg -r apt
sudo dpkg -i apt<TAB><ENTER>

<TAB> = Tab key
<ENTER> = Enter Key
