Best DS Emulators

Post by DigitalDesignDude »

If you're tired of squinting at a tiny DS emulator window while developing your games I highly recommend using the No$zoomer utility for the No$GBA emulator.

It basically upscales your games and allows you to put the DS's screens side by side and more!

You can download it from gbatemp below and set it as your default emulator for DSGM:

Feel free to share other DS emulators or emulator utilities you like. :)

I was trying out the No$Zoomer Utility on a high end Macbook and the VM ran very sluggishly.

The response time was around 10-20 seconds but this latency isn't found at all on my Windows 10 running the Virtual Machine.

Fortunalety for Mac users, the DESmuMe emulator runs fine in the VM and is a reasonable alternative to the No$Zoomer.

Just use the 32 bit version of DESmuMe 0.9.9 as the later ones don't seem to be compatible with windows xp. At least not without errors.

No issues with that. For me I like having the ability to have the DS screens upscale to fullscreen view. So that I can see better. Also makes recording gameplay HD.

I've tested some android emulators with DSGM games and I highly recommend the Drastic Emulator.

Most free emulators like "nds4droid", "SuperNDS" and"Free DS Emulator" crashed immediately or just had black screens when booting DSGM .nds files

"Drastic DS Emulator" was the only one that ran my projects on my android phone and Ouya android TV console. Even the audio was working!

Drastic is also compatible with Raspberri Pi as Ruffsta also mentioned in the "SO COOL!" Announcement.

I guess, I used 'iDeals' back in the day when nds roms were still coming out. I have used no$gba and drastic but they are all the same. specially with an emulator that sucks.

Can anyone advice me with ram monitoring? How do I know how much ram my game uses?
