Ok, I'm trying it...it's perfect, the menu is beatiful, the games run smoothly a useful turbo button and there's even a rewind button

Just perfect.


I don't know what emulator you're playing, but nesDS is far from perfect compared to some of the other emulators that exist.

That isn't to say that it's not great. Hell, it might even be the best NES emulation that's possible on a Nintendo DS. I played 4 games to test this out, and all of them had problems in the short span that I checked them out.

Mega Man 2 - Speed issues and some incorrect horizontal lines
Punch Out - Huge graphic glitches at the title screen and before a fight
Blades of Steel - No voices
Contra - Scrolling backgrounds don't display properly. They're darker than when they're still.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. These games are certainly playable and I think that loopy has done some awesome work on this project. But calling it "perfect" is wildly inaccurate.

My bad then, I only tried early NES games -my favorites-

Im kind of new to NesDS and SnesDS. How do you save SRAM in NesDS i keep losing my file in final fantasy? Also has anybody gotten SnesDS to work with any **** and if so which and how?

Never mind I figured it out by dropping my DS and accidentally touching the screen while picking it up.

SnesDS question still stands

Saving in nesDS is pretty lame right now, it needs to be reworked. After you save ingame, you need to save SRAM explicitly (from the File menu), it's not automatic.

OR, don't bother messing with sram and just save states instead.

I wouldn't waste much time with snesDS, to be honest. There are better emulators out there.

this is coverd in page 2 of this thread by my question. But yes to save the ingame save you must tap the lower screen and then use the save SRAM option. Or you could forget about that and just use the save state

i generally just use the save state as it is a lot easier to pick up where i left off. Having to remember to click SRAM can get frustrating because i have failed to do so for the hundredth time. i had to redo my zelda game too many times...

Anyone that hasn't played Solar Jetman should do so now. It seems to run nearly perfectly on nesDS, and with save states it might even be possible to beat the game. It was way too f***ing hard when I played it in the NES.

In that case, release your source code to someone who's willing to work

Don't give up hope, until SNEMulDS came out I always believed in your emulator. I still do. Maybe you guys can work together because sound emulation is just bad on Snemul (no offense man! You still hold the title of the best author around the world

)

I don't mind the NESDS saving, because as long as it can save, i'm fucking happy! (plays Mario 3 and Zelda II)

Damn right about the saving and Snemul's sound!!!

I hope the sound gets better soon, particularly on zelda 3

Hmmm, i've patched nesDS and snesDS with DLDI Drop for OSX, put it on my M3 Simply, and it still says DLDI DRIVER IS MISSING. Anyone know what I could be doing wrong?
