Questions about a Nintendo DS Emulator

[Neuchwanstein Hohenschwangau]

Hey guys !

First and foremost, I just want you to know that I've been having a dilemma whether to post at the 'General gaming' or the 'Everything about emulation' topic. So I posted it here since I'm just gonna ask a few questions about NDS. Hope it's okay :pokerface:

I've been asking myself lately if I wanna go out and buy a nintendo DS. But first I gotta try its games,graphics, and such. So I wanna download first the emulator to find out and see.

Okay so here are my questions.

1.) Could my computer handle the NDS' specifications requirement? Here's the specifications.

Question #2 (Sorry for the long post above)

2.) Can you please tell me what's the best emulator for an NDS? In terms of less glitching,freezing, and crashing, etc. I want to know because I'm planning to buy the game called Suikoden Tierkreis. And if you won't mind, can you give me a link/video for a tutorial on how to setup NDS?


That's all for now. Thank you

[Spose']

1.)You should be able to handle some games. My comp is only a tiny bit better and i can run devil survivor mac fps.

2 Its all about opinion but, DeSemuME.

[Neuchwanstein Hohenschwangau]

I see. I mean, are you sure my computer could really handle it? Could you look at it again? 'Cause my technician told me that my video card sucks cause it's only internal. I didn't understand a thing he said so I just nodded in agreement lol. Thanks anyway though.

I have a default video card. You should be fine, but don't expect it to be 100% all the time. But you could easily beat any ds game. Video card isn't that important.

[Muscab]

I have the same video card, and I can play all games in Desmume smoothly.

[Neuchwanstein Hohenschwangau]

Okayyy. Thanks y'all DD

[jmurjeff]

There are a few games that I would recommend No$gba to play some games over desume. But overall the games that did not run properly for me was very small. I also am running a laptop right now with an internal graphics card.

[Jonas Glover]

I believe no$GBA is slightly lighter on system requirements (due to the way its coded) so if you have trouble with desume try No$.
