How do I make my laptop run DS games better? They are unplayably slow

how do I make my laptop run DS games better? They are unplayably slow.

What emulator were you using

get a ds

Install Gentoo

What's your PC Specs and what emulator are you using?

desmume. I tried to play Pokemon Heartgold but it's too slow.

Pc specs?

Buy a used ds for $30 pajeet

Desmume is a sack of shit, developed by a sack of shit who hates Pokemon, and hence has straight up denied pull requests if they make Pokemon games run better. There's not much you're going to do to get around that

There are two newer DS emulators, MelonDS and Medusa aiming for much better accuracy. They are still very new though, no idea how well they're gonna run your Pokemon shit.

Desmume is shit, the author hates Pokémon too and refuses to fix bugs related to Pokémon (which also affect other games).
Use NO$GBA if you need performance or hell, use an Android emulator + Drastic.

Just buy a DS and r4ds

Get a real DS and real games, they're both unbelievably cheap

no$gba is fast if you are on a toaster.

Do you have a Pentium 4 level of performance CPU? Any modern processor nails DS emulation.

But yeah, you're better just getting a DS Lite and a flashcart. They're cheap and you won't have this kind of issues.

lmao sadly not, here in Europe it's even worse than in pic related
Thanks for the tip, finally an emulator that can play Mario Kart DS fluently

>>Asks performance related question
>>Gives no info about PC

Here is an answer based on what you drooled out. Buy a new laptop.

where do you live?
wouldnt the german or british amazon be better to order from?

German Amazon

Definetly better than the ebay scalpers, but still, Pokemon B/W 1 and 2 for some reason are the most expensive Nintendo DS games

Pokemon DS games are really buggy on emulators from my experience
Just play it on an actual DS

Buy a nintendo ds

Get a flashcart for 30-40 Eur and a used ds lite from Ebay Japan for 15 Euro.

These things can hold more games than you could ever play in your life.

Get a DS and a flashcard, faggot.

I actually already have one and to say that I played through 100 games wouldn't be far off

But there were precisely two games that just don't work with them

Pokemon B/W and B2/W2, ironically those are, in legit working copies, hard to find and often very expensive

(3DS could work but an update won't let me flash it :c)

>flashcard

it's flashcarT

Are you in central europe? I could sell my cart of Pokemon white to you, if you'd like

>go on desmume forums
>see devs sperging out at posts calling the emulator slow
>"your specs are too low" they say to people with current builds that run Dolphin just fine
>someone points out no$gba emulates DS games at full speed
>sperging intensifies

An actual DS is dirt cheap.You can pick up functioning DS and DS Lite models on ebay for like 20 bucks, and then one of those reloadable cartridges for a bit more.

get a DSiXL and a AceKard 2i.

mine works fine

Literally any modern Android phone runs Pokemans and any other DS game at 2.5x-4x the resolution with no slowdown.

This is my alternative to reading on my phone.

>windblows

get out.

linax is not related to technology, go back to redddit

You run lightest linux distro and compile the emulator from the source.

My pentium 4 laptop runs it just fine.

Post your specs

even a 3ds is only like £50 now. just buy a ds lad

>pentium 4 laptop

jesus. i bet you buy 1 ply

>desmume
Don't do that

>falling for the new laptop every month and drumpf capitalist shitlord racist sexist mysogynist meme


to gulag with you #BlackLivesMatter

how did you get all of that from user saying you use cheap hotel TP?
But Hey that's how they want you to think so keep on sheep.

>But hey

Edgy

Give no$gba a try. It can generally run games better. The debug version of no$gba is really nice if you want to fuck around with memory and assembly code.

>MelonDS
That emulator exists because one of the contributers/devs for Desmume was sick of the shit they had to deal with in the dev community for Desmume. They said fuck it and decided to program their own emulator from scratch instead of dealing with the bullshit. The forum posts leading up to that decision were rather interesting....
