how do I make my laptop run DS games better? They are unplayably slow.

>>61419157
What emulator were you using

get a ds

Install Gentoo

>>61419157
What's your PC Specs and what emulator are you using?

>>61419171
desmume. I tried to play Pokemon Heartgold but it's too slow.

>>61419218
Pc specs?

Buy a used ds for $30 pajeet

>>61419218
Desmume is a sack of shit, developed by a sack of shit who hates Pokemon, and hence has straight up denied pull requests if they make Pokemon games run better. There's not much you're going to do to get around that

There are two newer DS emulators, MelonDS and Medusa aiming for much better accuracy. They are still very new though, no idea how well they're gonna run your Pokemon shit.

Desmume is shit, the author hates Pokémon too and refuses to fix bugs related to Pokémon (which also affect other games).
Use NO$GBA if you need performance or hell, use an Android emulator + Drastic.

>>61419157
Just buy a DS and r4ds

>>61419157
Get a real DS and real games, they're both unbelievably cheap

>>61419157
no$gba is fast if you are on a toaster.

>>61419157
Do you have a Pentium 4 level of performance CPU? Any modern processor nails DS emulation.

But yeah, you're better just getting a DS Lite and a flashcart. They're cheap and you won't have this kind of issues.

>>61419243
Thanks for the tip, finally an emulator that can play Mario Kart DS fluently

>>61419157
>>Asks performance related question
>>Gives no info about PC

Here is an answer based on what you drooled out. Buy a new laptop.

German Amazon

Definetly better than the ebay scalpers, but still, Pokemon B/W 1 and 2 for some reason are the most expensive Nintendo DS games

>>61419218
Pokemon DS games are really buggy on emulators from my experience
Just play it on an actual DS

>>61419157
Buy a nintendo ds

>>61421977
Get a flashcart for 30-40 Eur and a used ds lite from Ebay Japan for 15 Euro.

These things can hold more games than you could ever play in your life.

Get a DS and a flashcard, faggot.

>>61422121
I actually already have one and to say that I played through 100 games wouldn't be far off

But there were precisely two games that just don't work with them

Pokemon B/W and B2/W2, ironically those are, in legit working copies, hard to find and often very expensive

(3DS could work but an update won't let me flash it :c)

>>61422150
>flashcard

it's flashcarT

>>61422167
Are you in central europe? I could sell my cart of Pokemon white to you, if you'd like

>go on desmume forums
>see devs sperging out at posts calling the emulator slow
>"your specs are too low" they say to people with current builds that run Dolphin just fine
>someone points out no$gba emulates DS games at full speed
>sperging intensifies

An actual DS is dirt cheap.You can pick up functioning DS and DS Lite models on ebay for like 20 bucks, and then one of those reloadable cartridges for a bit more.

>>61419157
get a DSiXL and a AceKard 2i.

mine works fine

Literally any modern Android phone runs Pokemans and any other DS game at 2.5x-4x the resolution with no slowdown.

This is my alternative to reading on my phone.

linax is not related to technology, go back to redddit

>>61419157
You run lightest linux distro and compile the emulator from the source.

Give no$gba a try. It can generally run games better. The debug version of no$gba is really nice if you want to fuck around with memory and assembly code.

That emulator exists because one of the contributers/devs for Desmume was sick of the shit they had to deal with in the dev community for Desmume. They said fuck it and decided to program their own emulator from scratch instead of dealing with the bullshit. The forum posts leading up to that decision were rather interesting....
