I've been using DesMume for a while now, and it works GREAT! I absolutely love it. No$GBA? Tried it for a while... It ain't that great with DS games, at least for me anyway.

Wow, It's been 6 years and we still didn't make a decent DS emulator.
I hope we can emulate B2W2.

I'v used Desmume myself and it works great! Just as good as my DS. Desmume actually still updates, too, they just released a new version a week ago, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. I mainly use it for testing purposes and learning how RNG works, watch the RAM, and etc... and I don't want to mess with what works fine right now.

Desmume is more professional- but rather slow on some PCs. It has many more options- debugging, personalization and other things.

No$GBA is faster - but I dislike the Graphics Engine and it's rather limited.

I prefer Desmume. On my computer it's quite fast and the best part is that he staple. While No$GBA fell out almost every 5 minutes crashing saves and making me to begin from a start.

Although some game like Pokemon Ranger run better on Nogba. On Desmume there are strange artifacts on upper screens...

For me DeSmuME runs way smoother than NO$GBA. On B/W it runs pretty fast in battles.

NO$GBA doesn't run any games, even the ones that aren't titled Pokemon. Maybe it's just my lucky. DeSmuME plays everything single DS games I've attempted. Plus I heard NO$GBA doesn't update anymore as DeSmuME is more recent in updates..Oh well. I'm happy with what I have xD

Yes, you are right, creator of No$ stopped updating 3 (?) years ago and did not return to update.

Well I've been playing and it seems that the Mario Kart, Party, Super Mario 64 DS, Mario/Sonic Olympics, Mario 3-on-3 Hoops, etc, are at a slow pace than normal. But the other games, like Yoshi's Island DS and Super Princess Peach are fine. Playing the Pokemon games, I can't get pass the selection of the starter Pokemon. It like..goes completely black on both screens and nothing happens, other than the music still playing.

Just thought I'd share that, I'm fine with what it comes with, as long as I can play the Mario games, I'm happy!

Well I hate NoGBA because it doesnt let me do high quality captures from the program itself. So I use Des. And it's never messed up and I've never had problems with it.
