Hello, everybody I've been reading forums about black & white, mainly about how to make them work properly on emulators. Which caught my eye the most was this No$gba topic and how the peoples on that thread was trying to find a save fix for the emulator.
...To be completely honest, I'll rather prefer no$gba over desmume anytime and I can't wait until they, until somebody finally find one. I've been no$gba for so long I never even gave it consideration of downloading other NDS emus...but since you can't save on it...YET; and I use that word strongly, I decided to swallow my proud and use the desmume. Oh, the irony!
...I've been usin'...as much I dread saying its name...'desmume'...For awhile now, I had no idea that it would run so very slow...and I mean, REALLY slow...
After reading a couple of forums on how to speed it up (which basically only increased the speed of the emulator slightly)...I've figured out a way, my own way, how to make it run faster...no lag in the music or nuthin.
First you'll have to make sure nothing up, besides the emulator; that mean no other browsers can be up beside the emulator (cuz, it's that pathetic) also you cannot still be connected to the internet...no lie; it'll still lag if you're still connected. That's how it does with me.
Anyways, after that set your settings to these commands:
On the 3D setting use the Open GL
On the sound settings: Over the Synchronization Mode click Dual SPU Synch/Asynch, leave advanced spu logic unmarked. Next decrease the buffer size to at least 5000 or less. Also, make sure your interpolation's on None (fastest, sounds bad) and leave everything else untouched.
Moving to emulator settings
Under the Bios section click 'Use external Bios images'
Under that scroll down and find Emulate SWIs with Bios images, click it...Also under that, click the Patch Delayloop SWI (speed hack) as well
As for everything else...leave it unmarked.
Now, to the Configuration section
Well...I never really had problem with the overworld, it was the battles that always lagged with me.
Okay, under Frame Skip set it to 4 or more...Also, I don't think it really matters if you check limit framerate or Auto-minimize skipping, but I've never marked them before...so, yeah...
Alright, after that go straight down to Display Method and click Directdraw HW and there...you're game should run smoothly.
Oh, I almost forgot the most important part, once you bring your emulator up you'll gonna have to stretch it out a bit...Um, well, it should look something like this:
By the way, if you done this correctly, the intro part won't be lagging serverly anymore.
Well, I hope this work for you all. It sped up the Pokemon/Wild Battle on my emulator.
Here's a few more things I learnt from a youtube video I saw.
You can add more speed to your desmume by downloading game booster 2 to temporarily stop programs in the background, don't worry you can switch it back and forth.
Click Here to Download Game Booster 2
Plus if you (and you have to do this while desmume's up) right-click the taskbar and click task manager, find desmume over image name and right-click desmume then click set priority. After that, find and click high priority. Remember to use game booster 2 first, before doing all of this. You game should at least get 55-62 fps during battles and maybe 49-58 fps while walking on the over world, well, that’s how it is for my computer.
Until then, ciao
