| − | Add a slash (<code>/</code>) after the URLs to view the contents of compressed archives from the browser, but please keep in mind that this does not work with 7z archives, only Zip and RAR. This helps you avoid downloading upwards of 400 gigabytes just to get only a fraction of the contents. The archive also creates torrents of each entry (that are not the same as any original torrents the user may have uploaded) that you can use to speed up your downloads, but be warned however that these torrents can be problematic if the uploader has added/removed/renamed files in the collection as they tend to not update correctly, if at all, so you may end up with only part of the collection, or an older version of the collection. A better recommendation is to use [[#Download Managers|a download manager listed below]] to grab all the files rather than use the torrents.

| − | ==Official Dumps==
| |
| − | ===Nintendo Wii U===
| |
| − | Nintendo used to deliver games the same way Sony does with the PlayStation Network; with a big encrypted disk image where all the data is useless without an authentication key. Unfortunately, they've changed this for 3DS and Switch, but not for Wii U (yet).
| |
| − | | |
| − | You need a titlekey database, covering base games, updates, and DLCs. A notable one is [https://titlekeys.ovh/ titlekeys.ovh]. '''Note''' you're still restricted to games that are on the eShop and that people bothered to upload their tickets to that titlekey site, so rare or retail-only games are excluded. You can likely still find these types of games from ROM sites above.
| |
| − | | |
| − | On real Wii U hardware, you could also download a package of all tickets ever of all regions and trick the official eShop into thinking you own the game and can redownload it, but on real hardware, it has been reported some out-of-region tickets cause problems. freeShop will just install the tickets you need for the game you chose.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you're using [[Cemu]] with physical dumps, you'll also need [http://pastebin.com/GWApZVLa the Common Wii U Key, and individual game keys] for games you're emulating.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Once you have the titlekey database including your game, you can download the game off the official servers using your tool of choice.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ====NUS Downloaders (PC)====
| + | Several features aren't supported by DeSmuME and aren't parts of its future as per the emulator's current design philosophy. They include: |
| − | You can get Wii U dumps this way. First of all get the NUS Downloader, for example [https://github.com/FailedShack/USBHelperInstaller/releases/latest Wii U USB Helper]. Make sure to use the appropriate URL for the titlekey database.
| + | *DS Download Play |
| | + | *DS Local Play (local multiplayer) |
| | + | *DS Wi-Fi Play (online multiplayer) |
| | + | *DSi emulation (DSi-enhanced retail, DSi-exclusive retail, DSiWare) |
| | + | *DS/Wii Connectivity |
| | | | |
| − | Then, it's as simple as selecting the game you want to download, clicking "Get It" and then "Download Games". This will download the files for the game you chose (the same as the .tik's title). Choose your own region where possible, so the servers are closer to you.
| + | 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 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. |
| | | | |
| − | Once the download is complete:
| + | At some point in 2010, development on these features was permanently discontinued and the developers distanced themselves from the above-mentioned fork. The official team stance on this is as follows, and is as clear as it can get: |
| | | | |
| − | * '''Wii U dumps:''' You can either install the game to your Wii U by moving it to an SD Card and using [http://wiiubru.com/appstore/#/app/wup_installer_gx2 WUP Installer GX2], or if you're using the deprecated Loadiine (or [[Cemu]]), you can "Convert" it "to Loadiine/CIA". Simply right-click your newly downloaded game, and then click "Prepare for Emulation". The .rpx file will be available in the game's folder, at /code/[yourgame].rpx.
| + | ::''As you may have come to find, Release versions and WIP builds distributed by DeSmuME developers do not have the Wi-Fi menu enabled, while builds provided by dodgy scener sites or the one your best 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 Wi-Fi 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 the development of the EXPERIMENTAL_WIFI, and the current state of the DeSmuME source code might have even completely broken it.'' |
| | | | |
| − | Updates and DLCs can be downloaded the same way. Right click on a game's name to choose which to download. For Wii U games for emulation on Cemu:
| + | It was also deemed that the Dynamic JIT recompiler was a poor fit for the DeSmuME project and as such a fork called "DeSmuME 0.9.9 JIT" including it was made, and some used to recommend it over the mainline project. Much later, like with the internal resolution feature, a compromise was reached and a slightly different implementation was since included in the main project after 0.9.11. |
| | | | |
| − | To install updates and DLC on Cemu:
| + | ==Troubleshooting== |
| − | * Run the game at least once. | + | If the game is slow: |
| − | * Check Cemu's log.txt file and look for a line that says "Mounting local storage (AOC): .\mlc01\usr\title\NUMBERS\NUMBERS\aoc\" | + | *Enable the '''dynamic recompiler''' in '''Emulation Settings'''. |
| − | * Add (create) folders with the same name as the above (substituting the "NUMBERS" bit with the actual numbers) in your "CEMUFOLDER/mlc01/usr/title" folder. | + | *If it's still slow, you must be running on a toaster. It can't be helped. But try tinkering with things for the fastest settings you can find. |
| − | * Add any updates (which must be added first) you want to the "CEMUFOLDER/mlc01/usr/title/NUMBERS/NUMBERS/" folder. | + | *Use frameskip as the absolute last resort. |
| − | * Create a folder named "aoc" and put the DLC files into there. The "code", "content", and "meta" folders of the actual game itself also go in the "aoc" folder. | + | *If your graphics card was designed by Nvidia and the OpenGL Display Method (useful for its filter) is stuttering despite reporting good framerate, open the Nvidia Control Panel and turn off Threaded Optimization for this program. What's happening is sequential OpenGL code is being put on different processors running at different speeds, forcing them to wait for each other repeatedly. |
| | + | If the sound is distorted. |
| | + | *'''Synchronous''' mode is far less buggy. '''Method Z''' seems to work the best in most cases. |
| | + | If the 3D is messed up. |
| | + | *Set it to OpenGL 3.2. Old OpenGL had problems with 3D itself, while SoftRasterizer had alignment issues with 2D. But 3.2 seems to fix most of both. |
| | + | *SoftRasterizer's texture alignment issues are supposedly fixed on a per game basis with the newer TXT hack. It now seems to be more compatible and showing more effects than GL3.2. Etrian Odyssey and Dragon Quest V seem to work best with it over GL3.2. |
| | | | |
| − | ===Nintendo Amiibo=== | + | ==Graphical enhancement== |
| − | [[Amiibo]] are special figurines that interact with a number of 3DS, Wii U and Switch games. Depending on how hard they are to find, they can either be bought at a local retailer or on eBay for a fortune. NFC tags are dumped to binary files (.bin). [[Android emulators|Android]] users can use [https://github.com/HiddenRamblings/TagMo/releases TagMo] to read and write these files, provided they have the [https://pastebin.com/aV23ha3X appropriate encryption keys.] | + | After the increased internal resolutions were implemented in the X432 fork, as well as in [[DraStic]] and even the barebones official Nintendo Virtual Console DS emulator on Wii U, the mainline DeSmuME project developers decided to reconsider and include their own implementation for higher internal resolution. |
| | | | |
| − | * [https://mega.nz/#F!Ek8BCCqD!ggJQ4SVOtfTR74ohXvn-Ng Here's the most complete Amiibo set]
| + | Official dev builds now have the option to render at a higher resolution as well, and filter textures to boot. Overall, it's more hardware intensive than X432R's implementation. |
| | | | |
| − | ===Sony PSP / Vita / PlayStation 3===
| + | The latest development version of [[RetroArch]] DeSmuME core also has an option to increase internal resolution which can be set using '''desmume_internal_resolution''' in Core Options. This option was added in [https://github.com/libretro/desmume/commit/5e430dfbc22f9d54c77f291304a38352ee1e5a63 August 8, 2015 commit]. This is massively CPU-intensive because only SoftRasterizer exists in RetroArch core. |
| − | Similar situation as Nintendo. As of now, you need RAP license files and the game dump proper to install your game on your CFW'd console, or on real hardware. Some people offer their own license files on some applications and websites so that everyone can get their dumps. Of course, these are limited to popular games people bothered to upload their license files for and only digital games.
| |
| | | | |
| − | The [http://psndl.net/packages PSNdl] website is a good way to get PlayStation 3 games for example, including PlayStation Classic versions of PlayStation and PlayStation 2 dumps that can be extracted and run on regular emulators. Make sure to get the RAP license as well. The pkg file can be decrypted with tools like [https://sites.google.com/site/theleecherman/psnpkgdecryptor-extractor psnpkgdecryptor-extractor] (useful for ripping PlayStation Classics), though emulators like RPCS3 now offer built-in installers for those, and PlayStation 3 CFW supports those as well. | + | *The OpenGL 3.2 renderer option in 3D Settings supports '''Multisampling Anti-Aliasing (MSAA)'''. Turning it on helps the edges of ultra low-res DS polygons and lines smooth out appear to wobble less during movement, and retain their shape better when viewed from distance. Unlike post-processing effects that modify the still frame after completion and essentially try to guess at the shapes they are smoothing, this effect knows the actual shapes of the polygons themselves. |
| | + | **Versions before r5032 had this option for a long time, but it was only put in the GUI at r5032. To turn it on in older versions you needed to change a value from false to true in the source code and recompile it. |
| | + | *Another thing you can do is filter it. Make sure '''OpenGL''' and '''Filter''' are checked under '''Display Method'''. |
| | + | *Finally, there are a variety of post-processing shaders that can be selected under '''Magnification Filter'''. Whether that is simple Nearest 2x or some pixel art scaling filter like HQx or xBRZ is up to you. No post-processing smoothing is perfect, but if you want to use one the xBRZ options are generally the most high-end among smoothing filters present. |
| | + | *macOS version of DeSmuME also has support for multi-pass post-processing shaders and filters which Windows version currently doesn't have. |
| | + | *Leaving it native and aligning it to a CRT (Set to a 384 high resolution) is also an option, if you feel like going through the effort. |
| | + | *Recent DeSmuME revisions now add support for texture filtering, greatly reducing pixelation albeit at the cost of blurrier visuals. Some may find this rather jarring or too N64-esque, so it's a matter of individual preference as there's an option to turn it on or off. |

| + | ===DeSmuME X432R=== |
| | + | Mainline DeSmuME didn't offer any options for higher than native internal resolutions at first. DeSmuME X432R is a fork with the option to increase internal resolution. Be warned that this option is very system-intensive. There have been reports of people who can run [[Dolphin]] and [[PCSX2]] at a perfect pace but can't run this at full speed using increased internal resolution, however newer versions are much faster. |

| + | While generally more accurate, the SoftRasterizer is massively CPU-intensive in this mode, whereas the OpenGL renderer shares the load with your GPU. This can be considered a '''speedup''' option, but it also boasts an MSAA option unavailable to SoftRasterizer. |

| + | DeSmuME is currently the best available [[Nintendo DS emulators|Nintendo DS emulator]] on 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. |

| − | A lot of the above sites have ISOs for disc-based games, but some of the more obscure titles can be hard to find. If you want to find these games, searching for their ID number is generally more effective than searching for their title. Both Mobygames and GameFAQs will list these under the game's release information. This number is region specific and is very useful if you want to find an ISO from a specific region.
