The best DS emulator will be released before the end of 2017

Drastic

Cool. Move on to Xbox next.

Well that's nice, but existing ones already play everything well sans maybe Golden Sun: DD (and even that works on some obscure configs).

What can another emulator bring to the table? Better performance at upped resolutions, maybe?

>>376795618
but the DS is dirt cheap nowadays

>>376796215
This. Just buy a $10 flashcart.

>>376796309
>pay2pirate
lol

I really rather they'd fix audio issues in the vita mGBA.
I have like 5 devices to play DS games on but nothing decent to play GBA.

>>376795754
Drastic is a bit shit honestly

>>376796215
~50 USD for used console in good shape + 30 USD for flashcart, and it's the best offer I can find in my country.

>>376795618

>The best DS emulator will be released

Who cares? just work on 3DS/PS Vita/PS3. It's wasted effort to make a whole new emulator for something that is already almost perfectly emulatable.

>>376796558
It's literally the best ds emu until now

>>376797217
It's still a bit shit

Desmume

>>376797217
Now if only it wasn't in a garbage environment like android.

I already have a flashcart

>>376797302
Desmume is shit though. I mean yeah, it's mostly functional on a basic level but it does nothing but the bare minimum you'd expect from an emulator.

>>376797445
Desmume has the widest compatibility. That makes it the best emulator de facto.

>>376797559
It is the best, but the best also happens to be shit in this case.

>>376796687
>30 USD for flashcart
I could find one for 5 bucks here.

>>376795618
>>376796558
>>376797445
Fuck off mgba devs.

>>376797753
okay

>>376797753
I've never even heard of mgba before, I just know that I have yet to find a DS emulator I was satisfied with.

You're so fucking contrarian. I bet someone in this thread will think you are cool.

One problem:

Drastic runs on a generic $20 corner store android phone I picked up. This piece of shit barely runs its own messaging app without becoming catatonic. But runs Drastic at 100% and very little lag.


Have you programmed anything ever? No. Well then.

now make an n64 emu that isnt garbage

>>376797858
I mixed up Drastic with DeSmuME, sorry

>>376796687
more like 30$ for a used ds and 5$ for a flashcard

>>376795618

How is mGBA for debugging? I'd love something better than no$

>>376797626
That's not true. Aside from some sound issues most games play perfectly.

>>376796347
>physical objects cost money
This is true.

>>376795618
All i want is a free alternetive for the android.

>making a big deal about this
>when DS Lites and flashcarts are dirt cheap
>when n3ds has surpassed the psp as the god-tier handheld emulation machine
>when even the fucking Wii U can run DS roms
Great. Now they can finish up and move onto better projects that people besides 3rd worlders care about.

>>376797690
Where? Do want.

what does this one do different from all others?

>>376801958
>implying people own a wii u
lmao

>>376795618
Can it increase internal native resolution without needing a high end PC? Desume X432R is my current go to but you have no chance of running that on a sightly older laptop or pi.

I've been wanting to emulate DS games on something than my main PC becuase when I'm on my main PC I've got better things to play than DS games and I'm really not that interested in playing DS games at their native resolution either.

I can run PS1 games at basically any resolution I want and even some PS2 and Gamecube games run surprisingly well now on lower end systems, but X432R is still super fucking demanding if you want to run at anything greater than native.

>>376801958
honestly the only thing the 3ds needs is sd loading for ds ROMs
why aren't they working on that instead
>>376802047
>implying you need a Wii U when I pointed out just needing a DS or 3ds and a flashcarts
>not owning either handheld
kys

>>376801958

PSP was never a god tier handheld emulation device. It could barely emulate SNES.

It was simply the best we had in 2004.

I'm more interested in 3DS emulators.

>>376802193
True. But it was the best until the n3ds which is only a few years old.
>>376802240
>3DS
>not Vita

>>376802295
I have no interest in any games on Vita.

>>376802374
Then just buy a n3ds on sale and pirate everything you could ever want

>>376802528
I'm not impatient. I can wait for a 3ds emulator and not buy anything.

How is psp emulation i want to play the persona games.

>>376803195
Pretty great. Keep in mind, you can get a PSTV for $20 and play PSP games on your TV as long as you're below 3.61 firmware.

>>376803195
Pretty much spotless. Hooray for stolen Sony documentation.

>>376797445
>>376797626
What's wrong with desmume?
It's worked flawlessly with every game I've tried it with, and I love the branch of it that has upscalling

>>376803195
PSP emulation is amazing
Just be aware of the differences between P3P and P3FES, and that the PSP version of P2EP never got a translation

>>376802193
I still use my psp for emulation and I love it, what does the n3ds do better? Aside from DS emulation ofc

>>376804128

Basically everything except for PS1.

Can it fast forward?

If not, I don't care.

>>376804213
Well truth be told I have run into minor issues with SNES emulation, other than that GBA and NES run well

>>376801974
Some random 3rd world country above ozzie.

>>376804417

GBA runs like shit. I've tried all of them and none can run Metroid at full speed, even at 333/166 clockspeeds.

>>376801958
>>when n3ds has surpassed the psp as the god-tier handheld emulation machine
>shit unusable d-pad at the near bottom
No. Fuck no. The 3DS was not made for anything 2D but VN and RPGs.

>>376804417
>>376804543
You talking about PSP or N3DS?
>>376804557
You can use the circle pad, dumbass.

PSP.

>Playing 2D games with a dpad.

>>376804543
What emulator did you use and what psp?

I have the 3004 version and used gpSP kai 3.2 and they ran perfectly for me, same for other GBA titles

>>376804828
You're the dumbass for ever suggesting the circle pad for digital input.

>>376804891

Then you're just too dumb to notice frameskipping.
I've used that exact same emulator as well as gpSP-J and tempGBA4PSP. None of them have been able to run at full speed.

>>376796538
This so much
>DKC2, MMX 1-3, Turtles in Time
>S3+K, Toejam, Rocket Knight, Streets of Rage
>Crash trilogy
>Can't have Superstar Saga, Pokemon and Mother 3 to make it the perfect portable machine

Is there any benefit to newer R4 cards? There's a DSi XL and a 2017 R4 for 70 bongbucks on Ebay, if they're drastically greater I might grab that.

>>376803354
>you can get a PSTV for $20
No you can't.

>>376805393

Not really.

>>376805584
It's actually an english XL's internals in the white LL, so I might nab it.

On average how big are DS roms?

>>376805671
Anywhere from a couple megabytes to maybe 150

>>376805114
No need to call me dumb, also I just checked again and true enough frameskipping was on , I disabled it and I didn't notice any slow downs, in Metroid Fusion at least

>>376805671
128MB
