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 '''DeSmuME''' is an older version of the collection. A better recommendation is to use open-source [[#Download ManagersNintendo DS emulators|a download manager listed belowNintendo DS emulator]] to grab all the files rather than use the torrents.:<small>'''''NOTE:''' If downloads are restricted (greyed out), copy It is the file name most accurate Nintendo DS emulator and append it to is actively developed by the end of DeSmuME Team. It can be run from the URL (ie: <nowiki>https://archive.org/downloads/NameOfPack -> https://archivecommand line directly or as a graphical program.org/downloads/NameOfPack/ROMPack.zip</nowiki>)''</small>

====NUS Downloaders Several features aren't supported by DeSmuME and aren't parts of its future as per the emulator's current design philosophy. They include:*DS Download Play*DS Local Play (local multiplayer)*DS Wi-Fi Play (PConline multiplayer)====You can get Wii U dumps this way. First of all get the NUS Downloader*DSi emulation (DSi-enhanced retail, DSi-exclusive retail, for example [https://github.com/FailedShack/USBHelperInstaller/releasesDSiWare)*DS/latest Wii U USB Helper]. Make sure to use the appropriate URL for the titlekey database. Connectivity

Choose your own region where possible, so the servers are closer to youbacked-up data.
Once At some point in 2010, development on these features was permanently discontinued and the download developers distanced themselves from the above-mentioned fork. The official team stance on this is as follows, and is completeas clear as it can get:

''::''The .rpx file will be available in developers have no current interest for furthering the development of the game's folderEXPERIMENTAL_WIFI, at /and the current state of the DeSmuME source code/[yourgame].rpxmight have even completely broken it.''
Updates It was also deemed that the Dynamic JIT recompiler was a poor fit for the DeSmuME project and DLCs can be downloaded as such a fork called "DeSmuME 0.9.9 JIT" including it was made, and some used to recommend it over the same waymainline project. Right click on Much later, like with the internal resolution feature, a game's name to choose which to downloadcompromise was reached and a slightly different implementation was since included in the main project after 0.9.11. For Wii U games for emulation on Cemu:
