Ewan101 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Not sure if this is the right board, sorry. I've been trying to play FE12 using DeSmuME, and it keeps lagging. I've looked up multiple videos and tutorials on how to make it go faster, but it still lags really bad. Anybody have any suggestions? Is no$gba better for this game??

The Envoy of the Beginning Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 DeSmuMe requires more-than-average specs to run at full (or almost full) speed, because it focuses on emulating DS games accurately, which uses a lot of CPU resoruces (not to mention that the Nintendo DS, compared to the NES/SNES/GB/GBC/GBA, is already more difficult to emulate). Do you mind showing me your computer specs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewan101 Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 What do you mean specifically by computer specs, and where do I find them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Envoy of the Beginning Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 What do you mean specifically by computer specs, and where do I find them? If you are using Windows, right-click on "Computer" (or My Computer on older OSes) and select "Properties." (I don't know enough about the ins/outs of Macintosh and Linux) Go to where it says "system" and tell me what processor it is using and how much RAM you have.

Your RAM is okay though. Try going to "Config" -> "Emulation Settings," then on the General section, uncheck "Enable Advanced Bus-Level Timing."

blogger Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 The latest version of DeSmuME (0.9.10) is about 50% faster than the version before it due to recompilation. Most emulators also run faster with Windows power preset (Control Panel -> Power Options) set to "High Performance". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try going to "Config" -> "Emulation Settings," then on the General section, uncheck "Enable Advanced Bus-Level Timing." I've done that already; still laggy.

Most emulators also run faster with Windows power preset (Control Panel -> Power Options) set to "High Performance". Just put it into High Performance; I'll check out v0.9.10 if it still lags. EDIT: It seems to be working fairly well. Edited July 6, 2014 by Ewan101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celice Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 no$gba (and the no$ series) have been known for their optimization and capability of running on lower-end hardware. If Desmume isn't working to great for you, you could try giving no$gba a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughx Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) NO$GBA's audio is quite bad, also the latest version isn't a freeware. (Some games doesn't work, like the first Rune Factory) DeSmuME is more accurate, completly free, multi-platform and Open Source. (The only downside is that it takes more computing powers) Edited July 7, 2014 by Naughx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonLord Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Something I did to boost FE12 on DeSmuME is to change the Audio settings as it tends to boost performance, at least in my case. Go to Config > Sound Settings. Set Interpolation to None (fastest, sounds bad). It actually doesn't sound bad when you play the game, at least for me. By the way, try setting Frame Skip to 1 maybe, that might also help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
