NDS Phone Emulator Is Faster And More Accurate Than NDS PC Emulator
 
So, recently (like 3 hours ago), my PC screen cracked severely, and out of frustration, I ran as much malware (like Cryptolocker) on it until everything got ultimately corrupted. Well anyways, long before all this happened, I tried to run a NDS emulator on it, and sure as expected, nothing but lag... mind you, I have around 4GB of RAM. Yet, no matter what emulator I tried, the emulator would just lag like it was nobody's business. DeSmuMe didn't work worth a hoot and no$gba also failed me.

Now, I can only game on my phone, and oddly enough, I don't even have 1GB of RAM, yet ExoPhase's Drastic DS emulator runs like a charm. No lag at all, no errors, and no glitches in sound either. My only thought is... HOW THE CRAP DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? Why does my PC NDS emulators run like absolute garbage, yet on my lowgrade $85 phone with barely any RAM (less than 500mb) nor storage space (around 1gb of phone space and 7gb SD card), it runs smoothly, I'm actually clocking 60FPS and higher with no lag at all.

Can someone explain this to me, I don't get it at all, my mind can't comprehend this logic.

Post your computer's specs, sounds like it isn't powerful enough for NDS emulator. DeSmuMe runs at 60 FPS without any lag on my computer so the problem isn't in it.

I would, but my PC is super dead right now.

Because RAM has very little to do with it (the 3DS doesn't have as much RAM as you think it does). Your phone's very likely to have a better CPU and GPU.

Why on earth would you do that?!

Anger issues mostly. After it fell off my lap and cracked, leaving a big black streak down the middle, I plugged in my USB labeled M-Bomb and nuked my PC with around 1000 pieces of malware. Didn't take long for the bios and other crap to be overwritten.

Honestly, you could have just used an external TV and/or monitor to continue using your laptop instead of overload it with malware.

Why do you even have such a USB drive anyways?

Thing about desmume is, that it's actually open source. So, even if it has some issues with your PC, you could try compiling it, yourself. You could even change stuff in the source code, if it helps making it run better.

Because I used to do beta testing for MBAM, Avira, and Avast.

You ran stress tests on AV routines yet you couldn't figure out that your PC is less powerful than your smartphone, prompting you to post on a Pokémon forum for tech support?

lol

1: It doesn't take a computer genius to turn on antivirus software and scan a folder full of malware with it. When doing the beta testing, all I had to do was see if the software detected everything before it is ran, after it is ran, and after it is installed. It's not rocket science amigo.

2: Obviously you didn't read anything I typed up. I was just asking how my phone runs better than my PC.

3: It isn't a smartphone, it's a really old Android 4.4 Sprint phone.

Well, yes and no. It is interesting, but at the same time, really dull if the scanning process takes forever.

As for being hound to NDA, not really. All they told me was to see if the software was buggy or couldn't find something. In truth, anyone can beta test AV software, all you have to do is actually just ask the company or staff of the site, that's how I used to get builds for Malwarebytes, talked to the staff, showed them the malware pack and what I used it for.

I stand corrected. :)

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out too!

That's a smartphone.

Beats me, I just know it is really freaking old.

it could be due to both a phone and DS use ARM processors but this is my belief anyways
