    Well, I have both now. I have always used NO$GBA and it was pretty good to me, IMO. But in Pokemon HG and SS, it started crashing every one hour or so, so I downloaded Desmume. Desmume is still in development and its stable release version is obsolete. It's slow and has rather 'limited' options.

    I suggest NO$GBA for NDS games. Maybe it won't crash like it did to me. Desmume, on the other hand, probably will improve later on, but now it's just not fully developed.

  • Desmume wins only with Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 3 - because of save states and possibility for save in-game. For the rest games, No$ is just awesome.

    Desmume is great it has Wifi support and doesn't crash on HG/SS. It runs very slow but it has a gba slot and you can change the size of the window. Nocash needs a program called nocash zommer for that

  • I using No$gba for playing some pokemon fine except working on PC inside Pokemon Center and Pokeathlon because the speed problem. So, Desmume is best choice for anything. :)

  • I use No$GBA. My comp can barely run Desmume... at least, when it's simulating SLOT-2 usage.

    And I don't really emulate much Pokémon anyways; I'd prefer to save up and get a real copy. All the other games, on the other hand... :P

    I recently made the swith to Desmume from No$GBA. Desmume runs Platinum and SoulSilver without any problems. I couldn't even get SS to work on No$GBA.

  • No$GBA cause its faster. No$Zoomer is not that hard to get though. Desmune just causes my comp to crash. Could be cause my comp sucks...

  • Yeah, I use No$Zoomer. Raises compatibility through the roof. Plus, you can enlarge the screen and do all sorts of stuff. Much better.

    I only use Desmume for the SLOT-2 emulation.

    And Super Princess Peach, since No$GBA doesn't support it.

    Desmume: needs admin rights to use keyboard
    No$gba: doesn't

    Note:
    NO$GBA C: works 2 times better then No$gba
    + its fixed for the 3D of pokemon better!

  • NO$GBA to the win!
    DeSmuMe is too slow and loses some parts in some sprites...

    NO$GBA has its own 3D renderer which makes it go 1.5x faster than OpenGL.
    Also with some great options in NO$GBA 2.5c

  • NO$GBA, definitely.
    I've tried Desmume before, but a majority of the games I've tried weren't compatible with it (but were compatible with No$)
