Quoted from NGemu Forums. So, I've tried it. And it was awesome! It run smoothly on my PC.

Ah, my previous DS emulator before switching to no$gba,
Let's see how's the improvement.

*crosses fingers* here's hoping it will run the games I wanted to play on a previous version but couldn't...the other emulator I have, while more compatible, is a pain to use >__>

i have no$gba as an emulator but i will have a lookp.s (not really related sorry if your bothered by it) but its strange to play the ds with a xbox 360 controller

This is still actively developed, the current SVN is better than No$GBA, but it requires a fast PC to run good.No$GBA is dead.

Replying to #5

Yeah, no new addons or someone wants to upgrade it, except for some hacking to it.
A shame because no$gba might have a good potential. :(Who knows.... maybe I'll finally used a newer and better version of DesMuMe in the future.

tested and i think desmune is better. havent test on a crappy pc though.

Is this really better than no$gba? I want to try it.

For those who don't know how to use this emulator very well hereThe Emulator known as DeSmuMe 0.9.5. (File Name "desmume.nosse2") can play Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Warning it well restart the emulator so save and do the steps

Config > Emulation Setting > Check "Use 8MB debugger mode when starting execution" and Click "Ok"

To make DeSmuMe faster
