Video card that supports DirectX9 (when playing any 3D games).At least 256 MB of RAM (if you have only 256MB of RAM in this day and age - UPGRADE!).Intel Pentium (Or compatible) Processor.This may have been true when it was purely a Game Boy Advance emulator (but even then it would have been doubtful). The NO$GBA documentation states that a x386 processor should be able to run the emulator, albeit slowly. The only real problem you might have is backing up your games to your PC, but see below for a way to do that. On running NO$GBA will ask for a cartridge/game to load, choose one.Prepare your games (back up your cartridges onto your PC).
NINTENDO DS EMULATOR FOR PC REVIEW HOW TO
How To Install and Run the NO$GBA Emulator Now that you have read the review and seen what I have had to say – you would like to install it and have a go yourself, right? Right. With the community support, (and the GBA support), the NO$GBA emulator is still going strong.Ĭonfiguration 8/10 (no auto save game type detect - but straight forward to change yourself - see the How-To)Ĭompatibility 8/10 (excellent - with sound issues dropping a point) The only gripe is the odd garbled sound on some games, which is due either to synching problems (the game not running at the correct frame rate that the DS hardware would expect) or perhaps some other issue with the sound emulation. Not much else you can really ask for in an emulator. Overall a very solid performer with a lot of games that work. I also used it to change the save game type to ensure I could save my progress and in-game settings - but more on this later. I used this interface to tweak my sound sample rate and output mode to try to fix some of the garbled sound issues I was having - and it seemed to help a bit. You should only need to change these if you have a particular game that doesn’t work, or a game that needs a particular emulated setup to work correctly. You will see two tabs: one for emulation settings and one for configuring your control settings.
Press ‘F11’ when the NO$GBA emulator is running to access the configuration interface. You can also get some homebrew games to test the installation on if you haven’t got any backed up ROM files from your games collection.
You should have a Nintendo DS game prepared for when you first run the emulator, as it asks for the game image file immediately. Configuration of NO$GBA EmulatorĮverything worked correctly as soon as I had the NO$GBA emulator on my hard drive. There are many more ‘green’ fully playable games on that list than ‘yellow’ and ‘red’ put together. The community however, does maintain a compatibility list on the NO$GBA ngemu forum.
NINTENDO DS EMULATOR FOR PC REVIEW UPDATE
There is no compatibility list on the main website (not surprising since we’ve had no update since January 2008). There is a huge catalogue of games for the DS with more coming all the time (not to mention the similarly huge catalogue of games for the GBA) and the NO$GBA can handle a significant number of them. Console emulators live and die by the amount of games that can run on them.
