x432r no longer active
|sixth = [https://github.com/TASVideos/desmume GitHub]}}'''DeSmuME''' is a [[Nintendo DS emulator]]. It is the most accurate NDS emulator and is actively developed. It can be run from the command line directly or as a graphical program.
The regular version now allows for upscaling 3D models. The "DeSmuME X432R" fork's implementation is outdatedfaster but no longer maintained.
It is also available as a libretro core for [[RetroArch]].
DeSmuME uses [[Wikipedia:DirectInput|DirectInput]] if an Xbox 360 controller is being used. No support for [[Wikipedia:DirectInput#XInput|XInput]] exists. This will be noticeable if an Xbox 360 controller's LT and RT inputs are mapped to emulate the DS's L and R buttons respectively.
Several features aren't supported by DeSmuME and aren't parts of its future as per the emulator's current philosophyand ''creative differences'', so don't hold your breath for them or pester the developers about them. They include:
*DS Download Play
*DS Local Play (local multiplayer)
*DS/Wii Connectivity
StapleButter was working on some of these features and left the project due to ''creative differences '' directly related to these features, to eventually start his own Nintendo DS emulator, melonDS. A DeSmuME fork with online multiplayer, which includes functional code that made it to official version 0.9.7 before being removeddue to ''creative differences'', is available and has been improved to allow for limited dumping of online data software prior to the server shutdown in 2014, as well as a version allowing for using online play for a select few games and downloading DLC data from alternative servers with the backed-up data.
At some point in 2010, development on these features was permanently discontinueddue to ''creative differences'', and the developers distanced themselves from the above-mentioned forks. The official team stance on this is as follows, and is as clear as it can get:
::''As you may have come to find, Release versions and WIP builds distributed by DeSmuME developers do not have the WIFI menu enabled, while builds provided by dodgy scener sites or the one your bestest friend in the whole wide world has handed to you on a usb key does.''
