No$GBA Vs. Desmume

[Petemon]

Witch is better and why
No$gba or Desmume
Pros and cons please

[Chad -]

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 Desmume is still in development and its stable release version is obsolete.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.

[Petemon]

thanks i just would like to use dongle methode thing
HG and SS crash all the time do they

[Sajmon180]

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

No Desmume doesnt support Wi-Fi.

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...

[dougieonfire]

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.

[MancerNecro]

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...

[Mirby]

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!

[Zenith95s]

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 C has better 3D renderering: 2x faster then opengl

[Ash493]

I'm using both. It depends on game
But... all DS games except PMD Sky are better on No$GBA since it's quicker.

[Petemon]

thnks its just downloaded no$gba witch is klass but will have to download desmume at some stade for HG/SS but platinum works brill on no$

[Sewzie]

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

[0m3GA ARS3NAL]

Or instead of finding out which would be better to pirate games you could just buy them and have them work 100% of the time.

[Petemon]

im only using emulators till i save enough for a new ds mine got smashed

[Noblebeastx]

Well,I used to use emu's and im sorry to say but NO$GBA Wins.

[Mirby]

When I first read this topic, No$GBA was losing.

Now it's winning.

This makes me happy! ^.^

[Assault]

I literally just downloaded NO$GBA.
The only game I have right now is Fire Red and it's been working fine with absolutely no lag at all and saved perfectly.
I couldn't even manage to get the Desmume download to work.

im not trying to argue but dude do your homework... DeSmuMe has faster 3D renderer than No$GBA.. and in fact it can run all the sprites and graphics of most games in full detail at 100% speed.

and source development wise... desmume has made drastic advances for the past two years compared to NO$GBA's last update (January 2008)

You are playing GBA game on No$GBA? That is pretty much crazy you know =D
No$GBA should only be for DS games =)

Anyways do you guys like No$GBA just because of speed factor? =)

[Soul Hunter X]

@Ash493: It's No$GBA.

I've been using No$ for nearly 2 years, and it rocks. DeSMUME is allright, but it's slower than No$.
