DeSmuME 0.8 released!
We’re finally back! 
This new release fixes a number of bugs in the emulation core.
The Mac port got a lot of new features, including sound,
preferences, screenshots and japanese translation.
The Windows port has some updates as well with a new core supporting joystick.
Get them here.

Thank you for dear efforts releasing a new version of DeSmuMe!
But, I can’t download the Mac Version.
The link to download mac version always direct to the win version download link.
Please fix it and make us to enjoy your joyous work.
Thanks.

Working awesome on Leopard! Thanks for all the hard work!

MINT: Just follow the link on the news, and click on the “DeSmuME v0.8 Mac binary” link, it works, I just checked.

A bit later, No$gba gets about 70 % 80% or even a 100 % (2-d) in many games , however i will remember with care that “Desmume” was the first running NDS emulator , and this is also very important
good luck in your next projects…
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Great. Good job!
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:46 pm
that’s right, until now I have just seen 4 games not to work in the last no$gba :S I think your emulator has been stopped too long :S
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Nice job, folks.
April 23rd, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Guys, I won’t approve (or delete, if already approved) any comment concerning other emulators. I’ll leave the comments before this one untouched, but read this as a warning.
April 23rd, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Very nicely done guys. Transparency has improved a lot. DBZ Supersonic Warriors looks pretty much perfect in battle now and compared to before that’s a huge improvement.
April 23rd, 2008 at 8:08 pm
Finally!! I’ve been waiting for you guys to release a new version
Nice to have you back 
April 24th, 2008 at 12:04 am
Yes, the one place for DS emulation for mac users lives!
April 24th, 2008 at 12:22 am
Hell of a great release guys! Works great on my Mac Mini PPC. Also works great on Ubuntu 7, but not on Fedora 7. Freezes most of the time and slows down my computer in Windows XP. Best emu (and only emu) for Mac OS X!!! Watch out iDeaS is catching up to you on Linux!
April 24th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
can pokemon d/p works perfect in this new update?
April 24th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Toyz123: Nope, it doesn’t run.
April 24th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
A huge improvement since last time, indeed it doesn’t crash after loading a game, and moreover it is even able to run completly a game, just kidding. I must confess I was afraid you were going to give up after such a long time but the result is here. A nice job for the 3D support. The ultimate thing to do now is to improve the speed and then you’ll be able to be considered as the best NDS emulator running on the Internet. You did still a great job! Continue on that way and make us dream with a fast emulator!

It’s pretty sad that No$gba fanboys have to try and rain on the parade here. The funny part is that since Desmune is free software (as in freedom), it is better than No$gba by default!
The people who are complaining here probably are mad because they gave money to the no$gba guy and he yelled at them or something (he comes across as a pretty angry guy).
April 26th, 2008 at 10:17 am
thank you!
April 26th, 2008 at 11:02 am
My biggest reason for cheering for DeSmuME is that, above all else, I value open-source emulators. Keep up the good work.
April 26th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
Great! finally a great emulator that works with MAC!!!
April 27th, 2008 at 12:37 am
Shash,I will just say that you’re one hell of a great guy:)!Keep up the good work,and this emulator the best there is:)!Wish you all the best…
April 27th, 2008 at 4:36 am
HSM: Are you sure you downloaded the latest version (.8.0) for mac? Also, what OS version are you running? The slash through the icon usually means finder thinks the program wont run on your computer for one reason or another.
April 27th, 2008 at 5:04 pm
A. Non: I couldn’t care less about other emulators, but refrain from talking about them here, I’ve already warned about that enough.
Nightwalker: You obviously don’t know me…
April 27th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Lol
April 28th, 2008 at 12:18 am
Muchas gracias!!!
Thank so much!!!
April 28th, 2008 at 1:23 am
Thanks
April 28th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
supernoob question: how do I access the keyboard config on Desmume vo.8? Thanks again for putting this out!
April 28th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
On the mac version, key bindings can currently only be changed on on the command line as described on the readme.
April 29th, 2008 at 12:26 am
I just wanted to ask,does the release of a new version for DESMUME mean that now you will update it more frequently or not?Do not get angry,this is not a classic “when will you release the new version” question,I just want to now,will you shorten the time between new versions or we’ll wait for longer periods as with this version?Wish you all the best…
April 29th, 2008 at 8:37 am
Nightwalker: Check the forums (general section) and you’ll probably find some information of your interest.
April 30th, 2008 at 4:51 am
Thanks for the mac version guys, keep up the amazing work
April 30th, 2008 at 8:28 am
When i try to open a rom in the mac version all i get is a blank white screen. then after a while it quits. how can i make it work???
April 30th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Ed: It’s probably not compatible yet. If you’re on a PowerPC computer, compatibility is not as good.
April 30th, 2008 at 10:24 pm
Awesome, love the mac support (something which you no$gba haters dont understand), keep up the great work! Don’t listen to anyone telling you give up on the project.

“On the mac version, key bindings can currently only be changed on on the command line as described on the readme.”
Where’s the readme?
May 1st, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Sorry, it’s not very obvious atm: It’s inside of the app bundle (right click on the app to show contents) DeSmuME.app/Contents/Resources. Also online at
http://desmume.cvs.sourceforge.net/desmume/desmume/README.MAC?view=markup&pathrev=MAIN

Any new low-end 2d games that can run close to full speed in DeSmuMe now? Japanese region games.
Linux/Gnu Pentium 4 2.4ghz,Ati rv350(9600), 512ram open-source drivers(performance not good with those drivers yet but the drivers are more stable) and very low 3d support.
I probably can’t play anything?
May 6th, 2008 at 3:19 am
The best part of this emulator. Its support many type of format such as .zip .gz and .gba compare to other emulator. Then I try to open the .gba file cause the format is there but suddenly my pc went crash. Why?
May 6th, 2008 at 8:12 am
It’s .ds.gba (or should be), it’s a format used to load DS games from the GBA slot, not support for GBA games, as DeSmuME is a DS only emulator (not a GBA one).
May 7th, 2008 at 9:41 am
Thank you very much for your work and especially for the OS X port!! Awesome work, keep it up.
May 8th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
It is good, that after so long time someone released new version, but it is so slow…
May 9th, 2008 at 10:57 am
Nice job, congratulations!
However, it is still unusable under Vista as the original resolution is not conserved. The window is strangely resized (problem with the menu?), so we have not a native 256×384 resolution. Consequently, the graphics are ugly, with black lines appearing.
If you resolve this problem, then you surely have the best DS emulator!
May 10th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Hey, good work ^^ I thing your emulator is on a good way, to become better then no$Gba… The only big problem with your emu is the speed, but I thing you will be able to fix that. By the way, your emu is the only one that is able to Emulate the Inuyasha game, so, keep up the good work, and thanks ^^
May 11th, 2008 at 3:07 am
Now if this could only play Pokemon Diamond and Pearl…….
