DLDI patch the lemmingsds_dldi.nds if your card needs it.

User guide
This homebrew offers 3 different controls styles: Tapper, Holder and Tactics.
Tapper Style (default):
- Similar to the original Amiga Lemmings control style. Use the stylus to tap a lemming, and the tool will be assigned instantly.
- There are two Tapper style preferences, Hold and Toggle, which affect how the shoulder button is used:
- Hold - The game is paused while you hold either shoulder button. While holding one shoulder button, you can tap the other button to advance the game by a single frame.
- Toggle - You toggle pause on and off with the shoulder buttons.
Holder Style:
- You can hold the stylus against the screen to pause the game temporarily.
- Holding the stylus against a lemming cause that lemming to be highlighted:
- While a lemming is highlighted, tap any shoulder button to assign the current tool.
- This style can be useful if you are trying to pick a single lemming from a large group.
Tactics Style:
- It is a reversal of the original Lemmings style. You must click on the lemming first and then the tool you want to assign.
- Tactics style offers the same Hold and Toggle preferences as Tapper style.
Controls
D-Pad or X/Y/B/A - Move the camera in any control style
Start or Fast Forward button - Increase the game speed
Select (3 times rapidly) - Restart current level
Zoom controls - Zoom in/out
