    Suggestions-before next release

    Shash, I’ve seen your wonderful work on the 3d, It would be nice if it could be commited in the 0.7.0. I’m willing to wait as long as it takes, I know your busy and don’t have much time, The longer it takes the better the next release will be :)

  4. shash Says:

    It’ll comitted when it’s done.

    請問可以用中文回應嗎?
    can i use chinese to comment?
    我運作時模擬器運作太慢,我用的是2.8g cpu ,512mb ram,32mb顯示卡)
    the nds eum running slow ,the fps is 1to4 (on the screen top
    my computer is 2.8g cpu ,512mb ram,32mb dispaly card,does it is the problem of my computer?

  6. edgeboymax Says:

    @ HK User: No, the emulator itself is slow.

    :D Great work. It even emulates the cutscenese in Megaman ZX now. Emulator speed itself needs more work, ’cause cutscenes like those are still greatly distorted and music still plays really slow.

    Nevertheless, its working great so far. ^_^ Keep it up, I look forward to 0.7.

  7. johnny Says:

    on your next release could you please make it so you can play zip file right when you download them. please.

  8. Ideasemu Says:

    I dunno If you should be asking that…

  9. chris Says:

  10. 香港玩家HK User Says:

    don’t make us disappointed!!

  11. ImP0steR Says:

    chris, extract what?

  12. chris Says:

    the emulator i click on it and it says something about zlib1.dll was not found and it wont let me open it. im using winrar to open it should i use something else?

  13. Ideasemu Says:

    Download zlib1.dll from amponzi’s website

  14. FooooX! Says:

    Nice work. =D

    Keep it up, I look forward to 0.7 too.

  15. 180223 Says:

    The only problem i can see with it is the frameskip and i hoped it will be raised higher in the next version.

  16. 青羊 Says:

    excellent work!
    I can hardly believe your success on such a short time.
    I’m proud of you,and,I hope you can make the perfect edition soon.
    support you forever!

  17. Kiwi3000 Says:

    Can anyone tell me if the next NDS-Emulator of “Desume” is able to play Castle Vania-Dawn of Sorrow? And I have one more question: Is anyone German? I don’t can speak English very well (My English Teacher is horrible…)

  18. igor Says:

    very good

  19. SmirkZ Says:

    Itz great, but its kinda slow. I just hope its faster in the next release.

  20. Believe it Says:

    umm so when is the next release gonna be out. Speed is good in normmatt’s version. Maybe you could use the same coding for it but it didnt have save states. I think these combined would make games faster and better in display

  21. fred Says:

    Hey i got not very high FPS how can i change that?
    in every game i get 3-6 frames per seconds that realy low

  22. michael Says:

    if yo think desmume is slow yu can try config and than frame skip 0

  23. Daichi Says:

    Great job guys!! the frameskip is a little slow but i can´t complain, i´m playing a NDS game XD, keep up the great work you´re doing

  24. Michierru Says:

    Michael putting frameskip to 0 on v0.6.0 or v0.5.0 isnt gonna help Its of course the best frameskip to use yes i agree but its still gonna run slower than its suppose to v0.5.0 is better than .0.6.0. v0.5 is faster and more reliable but still slow and v0.6 is slower -.- but the only good thing about that is the resizing of the screen and ppl u might think its ure pc it aint just the emulator is to slow…i mean if they can get the speed fixed on these things to the right fps then itd be good to go and there’d be less bitching lol especially outa the hundreds of thousands posts i see of flamers yelling about Advance wars dual strike wanting it to work fully lol so funny..

  25. Trevor Says:

    wow lots of complaints man i havent complain here in a long time =) I guess that is a blessing =)

  26. AnthonM Says:

    If i use AMD64 Dual Core 2.6ghz or 3ghz will i have a perfect speed? will a geforce 8800 make a difference?

    Anyone knows? thanks in advance.

  27. colinchen(China) Says:

    Great work!
    But it still run too slow.When I play ,its fps just have 6~7.
    I’d like you will improve in 0.70.
    Support you forever!

  28. su-oung Says:

    It’s new version of DesmuMe !

    Nicktoons unite is working.

    But 3D screen is still black.

    I think DesmuME can’t read 3D grapic yet.

    I’ll wait until next version release.

  29. gio Says:

    how do i download this? can u plz tell me?

  30. Erik Says:

    Harvest Moon works almost perfectly only freezes sometimes its really starting to come along great work guys! :)

  31. Tahir Says:

    Great version!I hope that in version 7.0 the graphics will have improved so that Desmume can show the sprites in Ranger.

  32. Phen Says:

    Great emulator, I bid you to please continue and appease the masses! =)

  33. Michael Says:

    Yes at least i was can play megaman zx but not for long snake and game have fatal error if you could do somethink with this on 7.0 i have arleady 100 person and all of them want only MEGAMAN ZX fully playable withous errors

  34. MasterOfHyrule Says:

    This is great but it’s very very slow. The older version (0.5.0) was faster but didn’t load as many games.

  35. HAHA Says:

    I can’t test games on it like diamond or pearl,why??

  36. Ranma Says:

    well its a very good version but the slow speed is VERY annoying and id love to be able to play ff3 any time soon

  37. edgeboymax Says:

    @ Michael: Megaman ZX is already fully playable. I’ve finished it using v0.6.

  38. edgeboymax Says:

    @ HAHA: Diamond or Pearl aren’t playable, that’s why. Wait til they are. There are features in Diamond and Pearl that aren’t supported by v0.6.

  39. fbi_2099 Says:

    hello got the new release of DeSmuME and got problems trying to run Yu-Gi-Oh GX Spirit Caller on it, i keep getting a white screen. can any one help??

  40. dave Says:

    pokemon ranger stil has graphic errors

  41. HAHA Says:

    @edgeboymax:

    Ok :(
    Then i will wait till the features are playable….Does somebody know,when the version 0,7 or the version 1,0 will be released??
    Cause I have to write a report about the two versions for a magazine and I’ve only got 2weaks until the report has to be ready.Then I’ll delete the game,I’m not such a pokemon-fan.

    Does somebody speak GERMAN???I’m living in Germany so it would be easeier for me to speak :)

  42. sylvainulg Says:

    just tried desmume 0.6.0 (freshly compiled) this afternoon. I’m happy to see that there’s CF support added and that there is a cflash.c file in the sources, but i don’t see anything to define what on my Linux system should be the flash card. Is that a windows-only feature atm?

  43. atyxias Says:

    yooooo!this emulator really rocks! Although i am trying an emulator for the first time i would like to join my comment along with yours:} firstly i want to congratulate the creators for their splendit work and i hope they will keep on like this. having seen what an emulator is capable of doing i went crazy.i mean if you put it down and count the price of not just the hand held system but also the games you buy you will definetely be stunned to hear that just with a simple click in the download section you will find yourself with all of these free of charge!!!! LOL anyway thank you for your time and see you in the forum of the next release of our digital (GOD) :} overeacting? i dont thinc so!

  44. NAM Says:

    It just keeps getting better and better…

  57. Andy Says:

  63. SJ PARK Says:

    Hello.

    Can we use keyboard instead of mouse to input spells on touch screen? I mean that key “A” can be used instead of drawing “A” on touch screen area by means of mouse.

  64. Robert Says:

    Trevor im haveing same problem with the windows vista the sound crash,and i want to know if anybody got to play pokemon pearl and diamond?? im getting a white screen

  65. shash Says:

    No, Pokemon doesn’t work. And with the lastest WIP (http://amponzi.googlepages.com) sound works in Vista.

  66. kouseki Says:

    :D Good work~ Harvest moon works and I’m happy xD Perhaps in the next version, the ability to link to GBA games can be added? (or is that not possible?)

  67. biiboo Says:

    the emulator never statrs up why is that?

  68. Yusuf Mustafa Says:

    ok ive got DeSmuME v.0.6.0, im i right in assuming that still doesn’t play pokemon, if so is there an emulator that can or is DeSmuME going to make another version so we can play it?

  69. JCmonX Says:

    now that Diamond and Pearl are out, i wish we can play them soon, hope also the version 7.0 will be faster and more compatible

    Saludos!

  70. Cesar Says:

    I dont know how to download this can anybody help me ?

  71. Bob Says:

    Hey It said when i first opened the emulator that i need some program for the video to worK! but i pressed to no dl it! and now i don’t know where to find wht to get? what do I do?

  72. Yusuf Mustafa Says:

    sorry i cant help you out there, try and contact DeSmuME.

    Does anybody know when V0.7.0 is out? ive got the Pokemon Diamond rom but i haven’t got anything to play it with?

  73. Trevor Says:

    i have both of them but im lookin for a program that can work

  74. Trevor Says:

    no one knows when it will be out but only time will tell =)

  75. Trevor Says:

    yah pokemon diamond does not work with any of the desmume emulators here =(

  76. MattHunX Says:

    edgeboymax said that Mega Man ZX is already fully playable and that he finished it with 0.6.0. GOOD FOR HIM! Because my DeSmuME 0.6.0. can’t play it properly.It’s slow.Bugs.I wanna play with it!!!It’s such a cool game!I didn’t play with it much just a few minutes with very slow speed, but I can already tell it’s awesome(I’ve played all of the previous games-> Mega Man ZERO 1,2,3,4, the X-Series).I hope 0.7.0. will be out soon.VERY SOON!

  77. Trevor Says:

    u sound despirate which is kind of pathetic :P

    if u dont have patience then why bother?

  78. Meatloaf Says:

    Lets all hope in 0.7.0 the emu wont be so slow, its quite hard playing Advance Wars duel Strike with only 2 frames per second.

  79. juan Says:

    hope that the next release can play pokemon diamond…

  80. Trevor Says:

    good point :)

  81. shash Says:

    For those asking, Pokemon won’t play on next version, so stop asking.

  82. Trevor Says:

    that stinks :(

  83. dan Says:

    yeah it really does :(

  84. shash Says:

    You’re free to fix the sources to make it run, if you really want it that badly.

  85. Trevor Says:

    how can we do that???????????????

    anyways yu gi oh world ch 2007 does not work with desmume 6.0 because of a white screen

    u should update the compatibility for the new games and etc…

  86. Paponchia Says:

    Great Work! Remember to buy the original game if you have the rom on the pc!! :D
    I hope to see progress!
    great!

  87. EuzIn Says:

    Great, nice Emulator…=D

  88. pinki&thebrain Says:

    i have the emulator desmume 6… and ive read that pokemon pearl and diamond dont work on it.. but surely that theres a way to make it work

    does anyone know if the newest desmume 7 emulator works with pokemon pearl and diamond

    i would reaaaaalllllyyy appreciate a reply

  89. shash Says:

    Desmume 0.6.0 or 0.7.0 (or WIP/CVS builds, for that matter) don’t run pokemon, neither know when they will. No work has been done towards that, and personally I won’t even spend a single second debugging those games, as I’d prefer to avoid all the STUPID fanboyism associated to those two games.

  90. pinki&thebrain Says:

    i see
    well im bored and trying to avoid work so do you have any good ideas for games that work on this emulator?

    oh woops i just read up and saw that shash said stop asking about pokemon.. sorry about that lol

    im not used to these weird chatroom thingies

  91. pinki&thebrain Says:

    so shash do you make these emulators then?
    they are very clever and well done *round of applause

    do you use linux or windows or another type? i know it doesnt really have anything to do with the emulator but i was curious because linux has a wider amount of programming that you can see into and it appears more techinical but yet on windows you can play and programme more games..
    :)
    thanks

  92. shash Says:

    I use windows. Anyway, this is a post about 0.6.0, and 0.7.0 was already released, so closing comment addition to this post right now.
