This article will cover the most important new features of Desmume. Some of the latest DESMUME features you probably didn’t know about include: Unofficial and unsupported SVN builds, Hardware intensive implementation of the higher internal resolution, and Cross-platform compatibility. You can also learn How to Make Desmume Faster. Keep reading for more information on these and other new features. Hopefully, you’ll find some of these useful! We hope these new features make DESMUME even more usable and enjoyable.
Unofficial and unsupported SVN builds
SVN builds of Desmume are unofficial, and you may encounter problems when using them. If this is usually happening, you should stop using these unsupported builds. The Desmume team can’t support these builds. We recommend that you use the downloaded from the resume website instead. For more information, visit the resume website. Also, please note that all compilers may not support the SVN code.
Changes to the default location for.DSV files
In version 0.9.5, the default location for.DSV files changed. Previously, the.DSV file was located in the ROM directory. However, this location has now been changed to the emulator directory in /.config/resume. Users on Windows and OSX can still use the path configuration to point to the appropriate location. To avoid duplication.DSV files, open a Finder window, and navigate to the directory.DSV file is located.
If your computer’s default location for.DSV files have changed. You can make some changes. First, ensure that the DSV file format supports your current version of DeSmuME. You can also scan the file with an antivirus application. If the DSV file has been corrupted, try opening it in a newer software version.
Hardware-intensive implementation of higher internal resolution
The latest version of Desmume introduces new support for high-resolution 3D rendering. The game can be run at higher resolutions by increasing the GPU scaling factor. Further improvements to the Windows and Cocoa frontends include the elimination of the troubleshooting info bug in the Windows version. Wi-Fi emulation was also extensively improved, though it remains unavailable in Desmume. A game-specific hacks library has been implemented internally.
Cross-platform compatibility
Did you know that DeSmuME supports the PowerPC G4 and G5 processors? It’s possible to use it on Power Macs, but you’ll notice a big difference in performance. Especially if you’re trying to run a complex game, your Mac will likely struggle. But fear not, as DeSmuME is cross-platform and compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. Go to the DESMUME directory and click “File > Reveal Game Data Folder.”
