===Comparisons===
* [[DeSmuMe|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$GBA. DeSmuME is recommended regardless of your PC power. Like all post-16bit emulators, DeSmuME isn't perfect. Expect nothing more than 60% at all times.
* [[No$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$Zoomer yet but does add resizing windows options but any increase of emulating skills is not noticeable. As of v2.8 it supports DSi games, and is currently the only emulator that does. Only use No$GBA for DSi games, its debugging features (if you do translate/romhack DS/GBA games) or as a last resort.
