− | + | [[File:Nintendo_ds.jpg|thumb|The Nintendo DS handheld console]]The '''Nintendo DS''' is a handheld console produced by Nintendo in 2004/2005. The main selling point was the use of dual screens for gameplay, with one being a touchscreen. It is the only console to have overtaken the PS2 in lifetime sales, as a result of attracting a large amount of casual players into the gaming community. | |

− | + | DeSmuME is very good, and very well developed but works best with higher end computers. This emulator aims for accuracy over speed but you can tinker with the vast amount of setting to get some extra FPS (see [[Common Problems and Solutions]] for tips). If you're still having a hard time running anything without the output playing like syrup try no$gba. | |
− | |||
− | + | No$GBA focuses on speed, and has major compatibility issues and glitches. As this was first a GBA emulator, the 3D added by the DS is still very poorly handled. However, it might be an option for a very low end machine but don't expect a lot of games to run perfectly, or at all. A fan program, no$zoomer, was released for version 2.6 which increases compatibility and more setting, as well as the titular zooming option. the biggest boost is noise cancellation which will clear up the static no$gba makes with 3d rendering. Version 2.7a isn't compatible with no$zoomer yet but does add resizing windows options but any increase of emulating skills is not noticeable. | |
+ | <span style="font-size:13px;">By default, we recommend Desmume regardless of your pc power. It is very active, with wip versions released frequently, and is overall better. Only use no$gba as a last resort, if your pc just can't do ds, you'll want to just go buy a DS as a new PC would cost a lot more.</span> | ||
− | + | Just remember: like all post-16bit emulators, DeSmuME isn't perfect. Expect nothing more than 60% at all times. | |
