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 will likely not be supported in aren't parts of its future as per the future due to their complexitiesemulator's current philosophy, so don't hold your breath for them or pester the developers about them. This includesThey include:
*DS Download Play
*DS Local Play(local multiplayer)*DS Wi-Fi Play(online multiplayer) - ''working, fork-only, removed from main due to creative differences''*DSi emulation(DSi-enhanced retail, DSi-exclusive retail, DSiWare)*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 removed, 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 discontinued, 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.''::''Officially, DeSmuME DOES NOT support the use of builds with WIFI support.''::''As such, though it may come as a shock to you, requests for help or information about it are thus NOT likely to obtain a response to your satisfaction.''::''The developers have no current interest for furthering development of the EXPERIMENTAL_WIFI, and the current state of the DeSmuME source code might have even completely broken it.''

==Review==
DeSmuME is currently the best available Nintendo DS emulator out thereon PCs. It is far better than [[No$|No$GBA]] when it comes to accuracy, though not flawless. However it's more hardware intensive than any other DS emulator (either NO$GBA, or emulated Drastic) and many features are not supported as per developers' wishes.
