Nintendo DS Emulation Hits the PSP - DeSmuME Test Release

[Exophase]

at least we know that it can be done knowing that it wont be full speed ever

Anyone who knows anything about emulation could have told you that this was possible from day one. Any machine can emulate any other machine so long as it has enough memory and the right physical resources (sometimes with an approximation, like getting around less buttons, missing input, or lower resolution). This just means emulate it so that it will have the same results EVENTUALLY. Emulating something at the correct speed is a whole different story.

I can confirm that this is real, Super Princess Peach reaches the title screen (after several minutes)

i tried compiling it with all my knowledge when i talked to this guy with the psptouchme screen... that source code i edit it for psp, worked... but was way to slow, then crash and burned.
sm64.ds was the game i used as a basic

but speed can be achieved cant it? im not saying that speed can just fall out of the sky but that with hard work and dedication im sure that this emu can turn out good..

this has never worked on the pc. not even come close.
we have n64 emus for pc, we have snes emus, but we cant do nds. this probably runs 1 game at 1 fps.

sorry kiddos

no no never xg

No. People who are capable of achieving dramatic speed increases don't port emulators and do barely any work for it (don't kid yourself, this port doesn't even handle input)

But one written with a better model for emulating at high performance still wouldn't be fast enough. Not for DS.

Here's one way to look at it, the DS chipset is basically the GBA's CPU running in tandem with another CPU which is roughly as powerful as an N64. So if you were running gPSP, which pushes the PSP pretty hard, you'd have to use the residual power to run an N64-equivalent emulator on top of that to achieve NDS emulation.

DS emulation on pc is not far from perfect. Latest version of Ideas and no$gba improved compatibility and speed significantly.

Are you living under a rock? DS emulation on PC is very good. A lot of games run with good speed.
