You should thanks me, lol! The lighting problems was reported by me. I sent him with alots of nds roms demo thats is the only way he can test it with because he is on dial.

EDIT:

Lunar Knight is now playable because in the previous version you got stuck when you met the suspisicous lady but now you are able to talk with her and continue your quest!

New Super Mario Bros is playable now. Set it to unlimited mhz, 10% and save options and neat!

amazing!

eba is playable as full speed, as long as there aren't too many targets on screen. Slows down to 30% during the spinning wheel
Still some problems with the touch screen's graphics

kirby's canvas curse runs absolutly flawless as far as I can tell

Rayman - Raving Rabbids (U) - Playable.

Still some problems with the touch screen's graphics

What do you mean about the touch screen's graphics problems ?

Why do you need save stat ? Save type does works fine.

Some elements are too bright. Makes the targets harder to see. Also true for the menues.

 

[spotanjo3]

Oh yeah, transpancy problems. Yeah. We will have to wait, huh ?

Lego Star Wars II - The Original Trilogy - playable

Tested a few ancient DS roms I had lying around. In every case, I thought my ears would melt from the sound being very poppy/crackly. I would like to know if this is the current normal state of sound emulation for NO$GBA or is the result of incorrect settings.

If you need specifics:
0001 - Electroplankton (J)
0223 - Animal Crossing - Wild World (U)

 

[Westside]

This version is so much faster!!! Pokeman is fully playable!!!

-EDIT, sorry still some graphic glitches.

I also get cracky sound for Electroplankton. (not tested AC)

Sound has been improved a lot in recent version. Sound like the one you get in Electroplankton used to be
the best that emulator could produce, with many games producing even worse "sound". Now all I've tested seem to
be able to produce at least that quality, or even better. Check Canvas Curses for a game with good sound Emulation

 

[Westside]

Can someone explain to me about the missing layers in certain games? Especially dawn of sorrow.

 

[Gaisuto]

I can test out some ROMs when I get home. Holy shit if these are playable...

 

[timbojill]

is this emulator for the PC or is it for the NDS to run rip of NDS roms ?

 

[ChrisMCNBVA]

how do you get new super mario bros to work? the save file cannot be read...am I doing something wrong?

 

[dualscreenman]

Pac-Man World 3:
Playable, good sound (Although slow emulation and speed hacks make it choppy). Runs at 80% speed if you set speed to Double Speed, Auto.

 

[spotanjo3]

TMNT - playable!
GoldenEye Rouge Agent - playable
Lego Star Wars II - The Original Trilogy - playable
Snowboard Kids - playable and fun
Super Robot Taisen W - playable and good speed!!!!
Ultimate Spiderman - playable
Super Monkey Ball - Touch & Roll - playable
Viewtiful Joe - Double Trouble! - playable and slow
X-Men - The Official Game - transparency problems but playable just fine.

[dualscreenman]
