Help With DS Emulator Speed
So, late last night/super-early this morning, I was trying to get a PlayStation emulator running Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, because I have a used copy of it being delivered here but it's taking so long I thought to myself "I bet I could download and finish the game before it even gets here."
To make a long story short, my fruitless efforts frustrated the shit out of me and I thought to myself "Fuck it, a physical copy is on it's way, I'll just give Portrait of Ruin a shot instead. The DS is a hand-held, so it should be pretty simple."
I tried Desmume, and I got it running... But it seems to be in a state of permanent lag. I checked the readme file that came with it, and it suggested going into frame skip and disabling the limiter and setting the frame skip to one or two, both of which I did, but that did absolutely bugger all.
I'm playing on a Toshiba laptop running Windows Vista that can't be any more than two years old, and without ever making a single hardware modification it ran ZSNES and VisualBoy Advance completely fine without a single hiccup. So are DS emulators simply too much for my laptop or is there something I can do to get it to function normally? And please don't suggest trying another emulator, Desmume was the only one I could get to launch, let alone actually run ROMs.
