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 Desmume is still in development and its stable release version is obsolete.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$GBA, definitely.
I've tried Desmume before, but a majority of the games I've tried weren't compatible with it (but were compatible with No$)
