DeSmuME v0.7.3 released!
The new things in this release are a Cocoa port and translations support for Gtk-glade port.
With the Cocoa port, Mac OS X users can now fully enjoy DeSmuME on their favorite system! The Mac port doesn’t yet have all the features of the other ports but should run all games with near same compatibility. (DeSmuME running on Mac OS X)
Translations are now available on three ports: Cocoa, Gtk-glade and Windows, feel free to send us new translations (there’s instructions on how to do it in README.TRANSLATION).

[…] 0.7.3 released !! New release for the Nintendo DS emulator. Release announcement Sourceforge DesMuMe (with downloads) […]
August 12th, 2007 at 10:00 am
Woah !
August 12th, 2007 at 12:11 pm
0.7.3 is only for MAC OS X??
August 12th, 2007 at 12:15 pm
wheres download?
August 12th, 2007 at 12:16 pm
Yeah, there’s not been changes in emulation core, only a new for Mac OS X and translations for gtk-glade (mostly for linux/*bsd users)
August 12th, 2007 at 1:06 pm
So the compatibility is still the same as a previous?
PLEASE! I,m waiting to play Advance Wars DS for so long time
how long I should wait.HA.
August 12th, 2007 at 1:51 pm
So speed of emulating Yoshi Island DS is the same ?
I am waiting for your emulator coz no$gba have bug with Yoshi Island DS…
August 12th, 2007 at 2:35 pm
Leo83: It’s the same compatibility, don’t know when it will change.
oli: It is the same.
August 12th, 2007 at 7:18 pm
DeSmuMe on Mac !! That’s just fantastic, thank you !
To OuTee and everybody else, go to “Downloads” and click on the “Dowloads page on Sourceforge” link. Enjoy
August 12th, 2007 at 7:50 pm
only for intel macs? i downloaded it and it says that application is not supported on this computer. the icon for the app is a DeSmuME logo with a white sign on it.
August 12th, 2007 at 7:53 pm
yeah, the mac build is for intel macs only, the next release should be an universal binary, though
August 12th, 2007 at 8:36 pm
same cmpatabilty. good news for intel mac users. can’t wait to test it out. p.s. nintendo ds rocks! ^_^
August 12th, 2007 at 11:07 pm
I wish you could play some DS games with 3D. The 2D core needs a speed update as well. This is still by far the best DS emulator though.
August 13th, 2007 at 1:11 am
Would you mind adding support for 3D sprites on games such as Pokemon Ranger, Pokemon Diamond, and Pokemon Pearl?
August 13th, 2007 at 1:16 am
How about SD gundam g generation cross drive? It can’t work!
August 13th, 2007 at 2:33 am
Hope it will works in ZXA, I am waiting so long ^^
August 13th, 2007 at 3:11 am
Most things in this needs an update…so much that it’ll take a load of time…so owell…we’ll just hafta wait =P. But at least there’s progress…which is the MOST important part of this program =P (almost…) So enjoy Mac users =P
August 13th, 2007 at 5:02 am
Even though it still the same compatibility, I pray one day
this emulator can increase it list like VBA emulator.
Come on team I don’t know how to programming
but what I can do is to praise because among other
emulator this one have better compatible list. Cayo! Cayo!
(in Cantonese I Think )
August 13th, 2007 at 5:03 am
PS:Cayo! Cayo! meaning Do your work Hard
August 13th, 2007 at 8:49 am
Whoa! That’s incredible news for OS X users!
An Universal binary version would be cool too.
August 13th, 2007 at 9:05 am
SD gundam g generation cross drive worked but it is very very very very very very slow. Hope the next release would increase the speed. Great works anyway. Really appreciated.
August 13th, 2007 at 9:38 am

August 13th, 2007 at 2:33 am

Hopefully, this emulator will be “updated” enough for MEGAMAN ZX Advent (U) to work by October…
August 13th, 2007 at 10:25 am
Flame-FD: Did you disable the frameskip? What are your hardware specs? What do you consider “very very, etc, slow” ?
August 13th, 2007 at 11:48 am
where is the windows version??? and, play megaman ZX Advent ?

i download it but I got windows vista so how can i open it?
August 14th, 2007 at 5:11 am
Easy, just go and buy a mac.
August 14th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
Well at least there is an update, hope there are some new roms we can all play on it. Wouldn’t mind it if some newer games were compadiable, but I can wait. Thanks for the hard work DeSmuME staff and others who worked on it.
August 14th, 2007 at 3:21 pm
Unknown: if you mean that there might be some roms that run on 0.7.3 and not 0.7.2, then you’re wrong, the core has remained untouched, thus 100% exact compatibility than last release.
August 15th, 2007 at 1:22 am
Shash, I am sorry but I didn’t mean that. What I had meant is, I hope more roms are compadiable. But if not, then that is okay. Patience is a virtue if you want to play decent roms.
However, please take your time with the updates, anyone who wants to play a certain rom will agree with me when I say that if you take your time the end results are that much better.
Thank you Shash, if you are one of the people who work on DeSmuME, your doing a fine job and it is quite a treat to be able to play roms.
Also thank you to those who work on the project, without you we wouldn’t have any emulators. Nice work!
August 15th, 2007 at 2:16 am
Keep up the great work guys! Much appreciated!
Re: Mega Man ZX Advent:
For those who are wondering whether they will be able to play the game, the answer is probably yes; I say that because it currently plays ZX1 pretty well. Version 7.0.0 fixed nearly all of the glitches in ZX1 that the earlier verions had; I think all that’s left is the cutscenes still don’t show properly (horrible screeching noise!) and a very small number of minor graphical gliches. Plus it’s slow like everything else - which also does crappy, crappy things to the background music :P.
Mainly I’m hoping for a speed improvement by October; any chance of that? That’s the only real problem left with ZX, which I think is the game [series] most people are after, next to Pokemon Diamond/Pearl.
August 15th, 2007 at 7:31 am
Awesome! I’m glad you’re putting universal access for homebrew support before comercial rom compatibility. That’s really the right thing to do. Though I might be a bit bias as I own a mac.
August 15th, 2007 at 9:31 am
I am wandering, when I will be able to play Mario and Luigi Partners in Time. On DeSmuME game is freezing on first battle. On No$GBA game is running goob, but when you must open the equipment screen the rom is crashing. Also sprites in battles are barely visible.
August 15th, 2007 at 6:02 pm
Thank you!
I am waiting for next month
I’m not English very well
Thank you…
August 16th, 2007 at 5:29 pm
Thanks a lot for the Mac OS X version, can’t wait to play Electroplankton
Keep up the good work!
August 16th, 2007 at 8:56 pm
Is there soundsupport? I have no sound on my Macbook
August 16th, 2007 at 11:59 pm
Sorry there’s no sound on the mac version yet, that will hopefully be in the next release.
August 17th, 2007 at 8:19 am
When will the universal binary one be coming out because it comes up with is not supported on this computer?cause i really really want one!
August 17th, 2007 at 10:13 am
hi,
where can i find the last version of package for ubuntu?i checked but there is just the desmume 0.6.0
August 17th, 2007 at 11:52 am
Ok, sound coming then!
Great release by the way, I want less and less reasons to boot into BootCamp.
Thanks!
August 17th, 2007 at 7:30 pm
Hopefully in the coming versions, we’ll be able to play more roms. Preferably more role playing video games, since as of now there is more than enough action games. Thanks for all your hard work staff.
August 18th, 2007 at 4:06 pm
uhm i don’t know how to use it… pls help me… i can’t see the .exe file in the folder of desmume v0.7.3 please i need ur help… after downloading it what should i do?
August 20th, 2007 at 1:31 pm
Dude when can mario work on ds …… it always work to bowser and then GLITTTTTCH !
August 21st, 2007 at 3:53 am
Speed is no problem to me, but in my testing of MegaMan ZX Advent, it is playable, but NO SPRITES!!!
I can’t see “myself” and I can’t see the enemies, so I had to stop the game because I’m playing BLIND!!! >8(
August 21st, 2007 at 2:53 pm
Well if its any consolation to the DeSmuMe staff, at least some people can play this version. Maybe when version 7.4 comes out I can play more roms, but I am in no hurry at all. Honestly, the staff does work that I wouldn’t be able to do unless someone showed me how.
Hopefully the next version will be easier to make, I wish the best for the staff and any other people who work on this project. Thank you for all your hard work.
August 22nd, 2007 at 2:52 am
Cool~~ Nice work Desmume Staff ~ keep up the good work~.^.^.
August 22nd, 2007 at 10:23 am
I just want to thank u for ur great and hard work. u guys did well since the first releases and the programm is getting better and better. ur the best ^^
August 22nd, 2007 at 3:41 pm
Just to report so u guys can add in the Compat List:

Excuse me, do you think there will be a release for Pocket Pc in future?
August 24th, 2007 at 3:50 pm
Huh? I can’t get DeSmuME to work on my Mac!
It has the DeSmuME icon, but when I click on it, it says, “You cannot open the application ‘DeSmuME” because it is not supported on this system.” >|(
Is it because my iBook doesn’t have an intel processor or whatever? :/??
August 24th, 2007 at 4:07 pm
wad11656: Care to read the comments, that has already been answered.
August 25th, 2007 at 2:09 pm
Eh? Um….where is the .exe file to open DeSmuME? (I downloaded the 0.7.3 DeSmuME source version from the link on the downloads section of this site)
The file named “DeSmuME.exe.Manifest” doesn’t work (assuming it’s the exe file) after renaming it to DeSmume.exe, a command prompt opens and a error message pops up. “16 but MS-DOS Subsytem” ….The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction, (problematic area)…Choose “close” to terminate the program.
August 26th, 2007 at 3:07 am
Oh…I see, shash…I read all the comments all the way to the top where that comment was posted…^^; Anyway, I can’t wait for the next release, then!
I’ll FINALLY be able to get DeSmuME on my Mac!!! XD!!!
Universal Binary is next!
August 26th, 2007 at 3:20 pm
There’s no 0.7.3 windows build, and probably never be, as it would be exactly equal to 0.7.2.
August 28th, 2007 at 10:44 pm
English is not understood.
Please use Japanese.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:04 am
Kimu: Yet YOU wrote your message in English. That is pretty ironic if you ask me.
Good work Staff, thanks again.
August 31st, 2007 at 7:59 am
Well first things first. Cant wait for the new version to come out as i am having the same problem (non intell mac). Keep up the good work and waiting the next version.
(P.S Diamond and pearl….. Diamond and pearl (heheheh) waiting) keep up the good work.)
Oh yeh come on PC peaple read the posts. Dont work….
August 31st, 2007 at 8:35 am
Well, actually I can tell Kimu is Japanese since I recognize this broken engrish grammar. I have lived in Japan so I can easily spot them. Still I don’t see why WE should use Japanese, since almost everybody can understand english?!?
I made the effort to learn Japanese, so why don’t you jappers try to learn at least a few words in english?

You are good at Japanese.
Cannot the speed be done like seem being the same as a real machine 0.7.3DeSmuME?

could the desmume staff add a sound on and off function?~~
I would like to listen to some music instead of the boring background music from the games…
I dunno… its just a suggestion… i dunno if it’ll be an easy to do thing..
i just thought thought it’d be useful~!!!

Shash, thank you for all your guys hard work. I imagine making new versions isn’t easy. Take your time, if the new version takes a while, then it takes a while.
YOU moderators and staff decide that, not us gamers. I can’t even imagine how difficult the work is to make a new version.
Thanks again.

Hope the updated version can play Megaman ZX and Advent cause i’ve waited a long time to play these games.

When will the next build be out, and will it fix major compatibility issues?

Will the next patch make more improvements for Home brewers? I am particularly looking for more 3D support.
September 25th, 2007 at 5:52 pm
Homebrew Bob: what features do you think are missing ?
September 25th, 2007 at 11:53 pm
i downloaded it, but there doesnt seem to be any sound…
September 26th, 2007 at 5:11 pm
3D objects flicker considerably when using the PA_SetRotsetNoAngle() and the PA_SetRotset() methods. I mis-stated i guess, the function is there, but it flickers
September 27th, 2007 at 7:59 am
darkjenso : I have sound. But performance of games is very low…(5-10 fps)
September 27th, 2007 at 4:32 pm
Homebrew Bob: checking this -> http://www.palib.info/Doc/PAlibDoc%20Eng/group___sprite.html#ga17, it seems that PA_SetRotsetNoAngle() doesn’t have anything to do with the 3D core if the 2D engine of PALib isn’t running on top of the 3D engine, which wouldn’t be that rare… Is that the case ?
September 27th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
ZX advent wont run on 7.3 neither on 7.2, it has a lot of bugs and sometimes crashes, sorry DeSmuME team, but iDeaS is taking the advantage, it runs ZXA pretty nice, and almost all the games run over 50fps
September 27th, 2007 at 4:59 pm
JCmonX: if you mean Megaman ZX, it runs perfectly on 0.7.2, at least the last time I tried, just set the save type to 64k, and it’ll run without crashing. And about Ideas, use whatever you prefer…
September 29th, 2007 at 1:14 pm
when will FINAL FANTASY 3 work?!
thats the only ds game i want to play …
September 29th, 2007 at 4:59 pm
@shash, i didn’t mean to be rude to you all, i apologize for causing miss understanding, but i think you could improve speed, in my case zx runs at fps,
i’ve got a P IV ghz, with 1BG on Ram and 128Mb Nvidia video card, i dont’ think i need a better PC? Do I?
September 29th, 2007 at 5:01 pm
Sorry i meant 30fps
September 29th, 2007 at 5:02 pm
and my processor 3.2ghz (damm block num key)
October 1st, 2007 at 3:55 pm
nil: whenever GFX FIFO irq is supported, don’t know when.
JCmonX: Megaman ZX is one of the most demanding games CPU wise that I know (being Castlevania probably the first one), so that’ll be the best you’ll get atm.
October 2nd, 2007 at 9:04 am
so this will still work on a basic windows xp system ???
October 2nd, 2007 at 2:35 pm
langy: It will, as long as you’ve your hardware drivers up to date, and a graphic card supporting opengl 1.2 (which means, not older than 9 years :P)
October 2nd, 2007 at 5:23 pm
yeah, i think emulation cost a lot of resources, but maybe you can use more rosources, ’cause in my case it only usses 50% of my only core of 3.2ghz, i think its posible to use more of the processor to gain more speed
what do you think?
October 2nd, 2007 at 5:29 pm
JCmonX: that’s because you’ve Hyperthreading activated, it’s not like the emulator will get any faster by writing it for multi-core, atleast on your current PC. The emulator is using all the resources of your PC, it’s not sitting idle, believe me
October 2nd, 2007 at 11:59 pm

October 12th, 2007 at 12:17 am
JCmonX: afaik, current version runs already on Vista without problems.
October 13th, 2007 at 5:33 am
Yo!
First of all, thanks to the dev team for a great emulator that works on Linux and compiles with no problems on a x86_64 system. I have a question, though.
Desmume GTK apparently never calls any of the save/load state functions, nor does it pause SPU emulation when the rest of the emulator is paused. Both issues seem easy enough to fix (I did it in my copy but haven’t extensively tested it), so is there any good reason why they are there in the release, other than “you should use the GTK Glade version instead”? (The GTK Glade version doesn’t work for me for some reason I haven’t looked into — I’m betting on something about multithreading, though.)
October 15th, 2007 at 6:33 pm
Go Dev team go! I LOVE your work. I am now working with students developing on your software and they are so excited to be making there own DS games. It makes a great plug in to the Microsoft C++ programming environment. Keep up the great work! I look forward to future work.

What are some of the new things that will be in the new release?
October 22nd, 2007 at 5:33 pm
Homebrew Bob: I can’t talk about the future, but I’ve commited some of my code fixing stuff of the 3D core, mainly transparency (not blending yet), proper layering with the rest of backgrounds, viewport size on 3D core, VERY minor speed ups, and I’d like to fix some big bug I’ve seen lately, for example, Mario64 DS hanging when getting ingame (hell, I didn’t even know that happened with the official build).
October 26th, 2007 at 6:06 am

Sky: no.
November 2nd, 2007 at 11:27 pm
You guys are doing a great work, but I really think you should work in cooperation with the Ideas emulator which is now working a little bit better than DeSmuME, there are only few problems of sound and microphone or input. If you were working together, you would increase the compatibility list and would make greater things! It’s up to you, but anyway thank you for all your work on this emulator.
November 3rd, 2007 at 10:03 am
The new version will be ever released
November 3rd, 2007 at 10:27 pm

People, the staff at DeSmuMe are working extremely hard, so if I were you I’d quit asking when there will be a release. If you people want to play Nintendo Dual Screen video games so badly, simply buy a Nintendo Dual Screen. Not everyone has as much time as the next person, imagine how hard the work the staff does before asking.
Kids these days, this type of rudeness is unacceptable for the staff.

I downloaded the first version… it seems to open and all but when I downloaded a ds ROM, i cant seem to open it. I was wondering if the roms have to be changed as well to be compatible with the emulator? or am i just missing a step? The ds roms are all .ds files should they be changed or something?
sorry to ask if its been asked, but im not sure whats wrong with it.
November 5th, 2007 at 4:49 am
Hail, folks! Desmume was the first DS emulator that I ever tried. In that time, the french guy does a really good work. You guys still have contact with him, I mean, he helps you in the development? By the way, no$gba is almost there with the newest 2.5b. Final Fantasy III is fully playable, Pokémon Diamond & Pearl as well. Keep the good work. I hope that the mic emulation will be ready soon (Lost in the Blue). Best regards!
November 5th, 2007 at 8:14 am
Sadly, I can get the program to open, but none of the games seem to want to load. I’ve tried games that were listed on the compatibility list as playable, but the program refuses to open/load them. :/ I downloaded the PPC version, which is what I have for my computer. Do I need OS X 10.4? (I hope not, I don’t have a few hundred dollars to toss around)
I’m SUPER pleased that you guys put out two Mac versions, I’m just sad that I can’t seem to get the thing to work.
November 5th, 2007 at 12:15 pm
I think this should be a big stp in DS emulation…
Fr some reason, my 0.7.2 crashes while playing megaman ZX right after teh first anime cutscene. cant get to rendezvous(did i spell that right?) point!
November 5th, 2007 at 5:04 pm
man, i’m going crazy, i need desmume 7.4!!!!, hope the new version will be out before Xmas
November 5th, 2007 at 11:46 pm
Nice job getting it for Linux and Mac OS X. It works on my PPC Mac Mini, however the 3D doesn’t work and sprites don’t load… The Linux version works fine but the .deb packages don’t work on Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu So you have to compile from the source.
November 6th, 2007 at 10:43 am
Would 0.7.4 be able to play 3d games like: final fantasy 3 and kingdon hearts 358/2 days?
November 6th, 2007 at 12:50 pm
Kibbitz: Don’t really know, can’t predict the future.
November 7th, 2007 at 10:20 pm
Could someone read and respond to my post in the forums under “Compatibility” or just respond to it here? I’m having trouble starting the program up…”BPT problem” is the message I get in the little process text window before it closes automatically if that helps…it might be a security thing on my computer or something…??
Thanks.
November 11th, 2007 at 3:31 pm
easy there kibbitz. we won,t need to worry about those for a while.
November 13th, 2007 at 10:28 pm
hi
i know that you have a lot of things to do and that all this programming stuff is not easy but i´ve an idea for the next release which i think would be a graet succes
until now there´s no emulator with a micro support on it and there are a lot of games where you need to blow or speak into it (e.g. zelda, lost in blue, avatar …)
desmume is such a nice emulator because of the save state feature or the size which can be changed the only thing that is missing is a micro and a bit speed the rest is just fine
thanks and keep on the good job you´ve done until now

November 13th, 2007 at 11:58 pm
darc: Microphone support isn’t something new on DS emulators…
November 14th, 2007 at 1:39 pm
may be but is there one with which you can play games????
November 15th, 2007 at 11:01 am
darc: yes, google it, won’t talk about other emulators here
November 15th, 2007 at 11:28 am
One emulator can run most of games at very good speed. If you want info, search google.com I would tell you, but I can’t write it here…
November 15th, 2007 at 2:45 pm
ok thanks for your answer
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:02 pm
so, we are at November 23rd, i think is taking quite long, but i hope it woths the wait, so coming out before xmas?
November 23rd, 2007 at 11:37 pm
hey when i click on the DeSmuME for ppc it directs me to the site to download; however it never downloads!! whats going on???
November 24th, 2007 at 7:38 am
I’m having trouble getting it to start up. I’m intel / 10.5.1. I imagine this is a Leopard compatibility issue.

Thanks for the report; there is a compatibility issue with Leopard - it’s on my list of things to work on regarding the Cocoa port. Apparently it might work if compiled on Leopard, so feel free to do that until the problem is fixed.
November 24th, 2007 at 5:27 pm
The last version is 0.7.4 Alpha, it’s on the blog.
November 24th, 2007 at 7:41 pm
Bouya: technically that’s an unnofficial build
November 25th, 2007 at 4:50 am
Perhaps because it’s unofficial then it don’t work with ZXA. I tried the 0.7.4 alpha more times but it doesn’t work. Now I was playing with the Ideas but I didn’t like it most. I probably prefer DeSmuMe. Hope the final 0.7.4 release soon

November 26th, 2007 at 9:20 am
Hey shash, wat are the improvements for the next release of desmune?
November 26th, 2007 at 7:17 pm
Kibbitz: mainly a fix for Mario 64 DS, a major regression fix, partial 3D transparency support, sprite transparency support, a SMALL speed improvement, some debug utils, and that’s all I can remember…
November 28th, 2007 at 6:56 am
Thanks for the info
November 29th, 2007 at 8:43 am
OMG…Last version was so long…It will be ever released ??
November 29th, 2007 at 9:26 am
Hey shash i heard that some games require you too blow the microphone to play
How would that work in an emulater?
November 29th, 2007 at 10:39 am
I don’t think so that game required to “blow the microphone”
but “blow to the microphone”, yes some game requires that. For example Naruto Ninja Council 3 and Sasukes attack.
November 29th, 2007 at 3:22 pm
Last version was so long…It will be ever released ??
November 29th, 2007 at 4:26 pm
Other emulators use real microphone connected to the PC. All you need to do is some setup in sound options.
November 29th, 2007 at 7:16 pm
In reply to Caery who asked for the need of Mac Os10.4 to run roms :
It seems not to work here too (10.4.11) for backup roms >>> Always white screens
But most of homebrews runs just fine !
Hold tight boys ! You’re on the good way !
NB : I don’t have the same menu than the screenshot shown with the pinguins at the beginning… (I have a ppc mac and it’s the 0.7.3 ppc version running).
In fine, sorry for my poor language, I’m a poor frenchy frog - Croak - Gloc !
December 1st, 2007 at 12:02 am
Isnt there any better way instead of using a real microphone?
December 2nd, 2007 at 2:55 pm
i’d like to use a gamepad with this emulator. is this possible?
thanks for your help.
December 2nd, 2007 at 3:28 pm
You can try to assign your microfone input to your audio output. Because DS recognize only level of sound on microphone, this will work.
I suggest you buy a real microfone, which is cost $5 or less, because using audio out as microphone is buggy - you will need to mute sound in “sound settings” every time you need no signal on microphone.
December 5th, 2007 at 4:59 pm
i cannot find alpha 7.4 anywhere, could you please posta link?
December 8th, 2007 at 3:07 am
project is dead?
December 8th, 2007 at 6:18 pm
Project isn’t officially dead, hell, only a few months have passed since last release. Stop assuming a release has to be done per month…
December 9th, 2007 at 3:14 am
lol…I’m just waiting for the next Mac release to see if it’ll work with my Mac OS X Leopard…^_^;
December 12th, 2007 at 5:58 pm
…still hoping release before Xmas…
December 14th, 2007 at 10:37 am
WOW didnt think it would take this loooong……………………..
Whats taking so long?
I hope the release is worth it……….
December 14th, 2007 at 10:52 am
Keep up the good work guys
December 15th, 2007 at 11:43 am
i found the emu with mic support but even the fact that it emulates more games and is faster than desmume cant stop me to hope that desmume will soon be better than all the other emulators
so plz dont give up anf do your best
December 16th, 2007 at 10:47 am
how to use this emulator??? this is my first time using this emulator….. please tell me…. i want to play pokemon diamond……
December 16th, 2007 at 9:43 pm
hello
why i can’t foued the file desmume.exe? can someone help me please!!
December 19th, 2007 at 11:04 pm
The Linux version is solid, but also quite slow, making DS homebrew development pretty difficult for me. Keep up the work and let’s hope speed will become less of an issue in the next version.
December 19th, 2007 at 11:22 pm
Judging by the comments made, it might be good to set up specific goals for a new version and publish that list so people can stop nagging (since they’ll be able to see how progress is towards the next release).
December 20th, 2007 at 4:11 pm
DaVince: How much slow? I mean, I’ve developed quite a lot of stuff on desmume without any problems.
December 23rd, 2007 at 1:23 am
When are you ppls going to release a version compatible wit Leopard.. apologies if this question has been answered already, i don’t have time to read all teh posts.
December 25th, 2007 at 10:47 am
Not sure when the next release will come, hopefully it will be working on Leopard.
December 26th, 2007 at 12:25 pm
is the new version will be ever release ?? c’mon guys.
December 27th, 2007 at 4:19 am
I’m using Leopard, I get the same crash as everyone else. Pooies! I would debug the problem myself if I had the slightest clue how to build and debug stuff on OS X. Oh well… maybe one day.
December 27th, 2007 at 4:44 pm
making desmume for leopard from source program.

December 28th, 2007 at 12:34 pm
I got a valid img file by adding .zip and uncompressing it, maybe that’s how I got a crash.
December 28th, 2007 at 3:37 pm
sorry.
It was wrong URL.
and, I had forgotten having installed Macport.
This Desmume seems to run only in a special environment.
I do not understand what is necessary.
Perhaps, X11 and SDL are necessary.

I am having a problem with the Ubuntu package: GTK and glade fail with “The error was ‘GLXBadContext’”. Cli works. GL games work. Why desmume doesn’t?
December 31st, 2007 at 10:25 am
WOW
The emulater must be really good
I would be very disappointed if the emulater is not good cause ive been waitin for a reeeeeaalllllly long time.
January 1st, 2008 at 12:03 am
nice. will it be able to play castlevania dawn of sorrow and portrait of ruin?
January 2nd, 2008 at 1:21 am
Has development stopped?
January 2nd, 2008 at 7:50 am
it will cause if that emulater can play super mario 64 it can play most of the 3d games i think………
Isnt castlenavia 2d?
January 2nd, 2008 at 9:56 am
George: No active developer is working on it, afaik. Don’t take this as official word, anyone can check the source repository commits and see.

Well if its any consolation to the DeSmuMe staff, at least some people can play this version. Maybe when version 7.4 comes out I can play more roms, but I am in no hurry at all. Honestly, the staff does work that I wouldn’t be able to do unless someone showed me how.
Hopefully the next version will be easier to make, I wish the best for the staff and any other people who work on this project. Thank you for all your hard work.

JCmonX: As I already stated above, the project is stalled atm.
To the one/s referencing other emulators: I’ll just delete your comments, this is a web about desmume, and desmume ONLY. If you want to discuss other emulators there’s plenty of boards to do so.
