On yu-gi-h 5d’s world championship 2011: over the nexus (and i think on 2010 as well) i have a blank black touchscreen window with no video output apart from the main menu icon… the touchscreen still works and yes and no option buttons appear on it when they come up but the actual game (which is played mostly on the touchscreen) doesn’t show, it worked on 0.9.6 though… but that was slow and froze a lot.
sorry to clarify menus work and show on the touchscreen, and the touch functionality still works. but the game video output does not work. any ideas please?
NO1SE, it seems like 3D rendering is turned off. Try choosing View > Show 3D Rendering Settings. In the 3D Rendering Settings panel, make sure that SoftRasterizer is your chosen 3D engine.
Solivore, the Pokemon games certainly due work, albeit with some bugs. This is due to a combination of the anti-piracy code in the ROMs themselves, and also the many patches/hacks/cheats involved. Overall, it can be some pretty messy business. You should try to get help from a Pokemon forum if you want to play these games.
Solivore, I’ve tested the Pokemon games, and they should work.
Go ahead and make a post in our tech support forums, and I’ll try to work out the issue from there. Be sure to include the following info:
1. DeSmuME app version
2. Your operating system and OS version
3. The specific ROMs that you are using (choose File > ROM Info, and give the ROM Name and ROM Serial of each ROM that isn’t working)
4. A brief description of what’s happening for each ROM (we need to know what exactly is “not working”)
blackfoot, the options for changing the emulator’s execution speed can be found in the Emulation > Speed Limit menu. If you need a finer degree of control, you can choose Emulation > Speed Limit > Custom.
There is also a toolbar button for toggling between 1x Speed and 2x Speed for your convenience.
iVoldemort, in the main window, there should be a status bar at the bottom that reports all of the inputs as they are used, including mouse clicks. (If the status bar isn’t visible, you can show it by using the View > Show Status Bar menu option.)
Try clicking around in the main window.
If you are seeing mouse inputs in the status bar, then the problem could be in the ROM you’re using. You should confirm that the ROM indeeds uses the DS touch inputs, and that it is a clean dump of the ROM.
If you are not seeing any mouse inputs, then the problem could be in your mouse or other hardware. In this case, you will need to troubleshoot your hardware yourself and find out why your mouse (or other hardware) doesn’t work properly.
When i start up Pokemon, everything goes well until i actually play. The touch screen is fine, but the top screen is black. I still get audio, just not visual.
I just want to know, When will the next desmume be released? I’m not saying the recent emulator stinks or what. I’m just excited. Just give an estimate of month/s and/or year/s
BEARBOY, we can’t give estimates about when the next version will be released. The next Mac release is geared more towards fixing bugs, improving performance, and cleaning up the code base. But rest assured, there are some new end-user features planned for the next Mac release, like more display options, replay record/playback support, and so on.
@rogerman Thank you, its my first 2 years using Desmume and i don’t now the system thingy thingies. Anyways, Thank You for answering it in a polite way because most people just insult these questions.
Hi, I’m running Mountain Lion, and I downloaded the latest version of the emulator, with Mountain Lion support. However, I seem to have run into a problem.. Whenever I open a rom in the emulator, the screen is blank. I can hear the audio, but nothing comes up in the emulator window. The way I’ve been opening the .nds roms is by secondary click>open with DeSmuMe. Please help!
kelxk31, try redownloading DeSmuME directly from our website and try again. Afterwards, check the app version of DeSmuME by choosing DeSmuME > About DeSmuME, and checking if the version reads “v0.9.8b”, and not “v0.9.8″.
thank you so much for all you have done, i’m a Mountain Lion user, and downloaded the lasted version. it seems that this new version is not applicable for all the nds games. sometime it comes up with a blank screen and sometime i can not hear some background music. hope my information will help you to improve it.
i started to play pokemon soul silver and was ready, about to watch a girl show me how to catch but the game froze. So i x it and restarted but now its a white screen with no music or anything. Can someone help out???
I’m really mad. Everytime im trying to open a rom to actually play the game it says that it has stop working and is look for a solution to the problem.A few seconds later it exits out.???? btw im trying to play pokemon black 2
I have a mac with mountain lion OSX and I downloaded this and Pokemon Heart Gold. When I open it up I can hear sound and click but all I see is a white screen? This is the case with other pokemon games as well. How do I fix this???
@Dirk, that rom isn’t patched, go get a clean rom then patch it from the pokemon black and white 2 translation project english patch and that should solve everything.
I think that еverythіng sаid maԁe a grеat deal of sеnѕe.
But, think about this, what if you werе to write a κiller title?
I аin’t saying your information isn’t good.
, but suppose уou aԁdеd sοmething thаt makes people desire mоre?

Yοu ѕhould pеeκ at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create article titles to grab people interested. You might try adding a video or a pic or two to grab readers excited about what you’ve got to
say. Just mу оpinion, it might bгing
your blog a little bit more intеrеsting.
hey uhm every time i open a game it plays well like pokemon soul silver or any other game for that matter every game that i try to play just lags really bad ive tried to fix it myself but i dont have a clue what im doing and im probably just messing stuff up can someone tell me how to play the game without it lagging like slow motion
Thanks A LOT Desmume! Keep up the good work
It can’t be open T T
my mac said “DeSmuME” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.
iToy, just right-click the DeSmuME icon, and choose Open from the pop-up menu. This method allows you to open any app that isn’t Gatekeeper compliant.
Merci beaucoup super boulot encore une fois je vais pouvoir recommencé a jouer…

Thank you DesmuME, very impressive so far

Ok thanks.. If I succeed to register. x)
Thank you so much, worked a charm!
Why was this update necessary? You should have just released 0.9.9 with Mountain Lion support.
maybe you’ll be an old man by the time 0.9.9 is ready. osx users may appreciate a quicker fix.
I cant see the images
i can hear the game and the touch screen works
but i cant see the game
help?
i am using Mountain Lion btw
pride, the new Mac build was re-released to fix exactly this issue. Download the latest release from our website and try again.
when i try to download it says a certain folder /Volumes/PublicZone/something.dmg.trp or something says it cannot be changed
Thks. You’re the best!
umm hot do i speed the gameplay up a bit

Cool emulatorr,… ^^
Thanks for the update. But I meet a problem that the touch function cannot work, which is implemented by the mouse. How should it be resolved?
