    Default Nintendo DS Emulator

    Yet to see a working NDS emulator, myself. Anyone know any of 'em that work? If so, please link me, I'll repay you by seeding and what not. You know the routine!

    On a side note, if you've a perfectly running Sega Saturn emulator, it'd be much appreciated as well.

    Best so far is Desmume 0.5 (http://desmume.sourceforge.net), it has sound, save states, and should be able to run a few commercial roms at nearly half speed(try Polarium and Mr. Driller: Drill Spirits, I believe these to be two of them). Don't expect it to run any game full speed, or certain games at all. This emulator(like all NDS emulators) is still a WIP(work in progress).

    SSF is currently the best Saturn emulator:

    Some compatibility lists to show how many games are considered playable:

    If you are a fan of the harvest moon series, Desmume runs Harvest Moon DS at about 3/4 speed on my modest pc, which just about anyone can outdo these days.

    *Moved to Everything Emulation*

    I know we have the thread about emulating the newer gaming systems: PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, PSP, and NDS, but I think I have heard people mentioning a working or somewhat working DS emulator. Since I think there is one, I will keep this thread open unless someone can prove otherwise.

    Thanks for the replies and what not. As promised, I'll repay you guys back.

    I'm ripping my collection of PSX games right now. They include:

    Chocobo Racing, Suikoden II, Grandia I, Alundra I and II. I noticed a few are already uploaded, so I may not rip those.


    Edit:
    By the way, I'm having trouble with SSF opening. I can click it and all that shananigans, but it will not load.

    Does your comp have a CPU that supports SSE2?

    Because SSF requires SSE2 support.

    Here's a list of CPU's that support SSE2, and below it is a list of those that don't:

    Yeah, by that list I should be able to. I have AMD Athlon 64.

    OK, then read through this guide for SSF:

    SSF runs on my shitty Celery-on, but it's not full speed, I get about 5 FPS on Panzer Dragoon. It's a laugh, not gonna bother with DS emulation until it actually works.

    From what I heard they only have like 2 to maybe 4 romz working (In english anyway) so I'm not gonna ever waste the energy to look at the mainsite until they at least get a few more working. As for Harvest Moon DS I don't think that one was on the compat. list.

    No$GBA is worth a look, because it has DS emulation support... to some degree. On my AMD Althon XP 2400+ I could get like... 20 fps on the menu of something like Pokemon Ranger, but due to the touchscreen (it's only iffily emulated, I could click to get to the intro screen but not further), it's not quite working.

    It's worth a look, at least in my opinion.

    Oh and by the way: Tried SSF, but no SSE2 . Yabause is probably alright for a few games. If you're going to get Yabause I suggest you get Batsugun (it seems to work perfectly with it).
    ABANDON ALL HOPE, I'M NOT SURE WHY
