what i experience with digimon world dawn and pokemon yeah is faster but the sound is horrible like 44% in my pc so i'm still stick with 2.4f version is slower but the sound and playability it's more than 100% ;)

Make sure emulation speed up is AUTO normal. 2.4f sucks because I can play castlevania dos and por on 2.5b since the speed improvement much better. I do not care about the sound. Why should you worry, lol! It will get better.. just worry about playing the game without a sound, man! I can! :)

GOOD JOB, no$GBA DEVELOPER! YOU ROCK!!!!! LOVE YOU! KEEP UP!!!!!!!!

That's why I never patched the games that need it. I will play other game until the game like you did is fix and now it's fixing!

I don't play Pokemon. They are bored and same things over and over.. Caught 'em all. It's annoying, lol!

Okay, I can't see what you are doing in your house. It works fine on 2.5b and mine is Pentium 4 2.4ghz 256ram. The developer fixed it already and it works fine and also many speed improvement alots with games.. Speed is some faster like Pokemon, Zelda, Castlevania, Contact, Super Mario 64, New Super Mario bros.

Oh yeah, Super Mario 64 is now FULLY PLAYABLE with 99% no graphics errors... Two graphics errors are: Princess peach's hair is little bit messup and the letter cannot read because text is invisible and the characters's shadow under their feets are missing. The speed is fast for this game!!!!!! :D

Many many more. I have notepad with the lists. 2.5b is much better since speed and graphics improvement. You can play 2.4f because 3-D was not fixed mostly in 2.4f.

Maybe you need to buy a new computer. Mine is old but better and we will buy core 2 duo, 2X Geforce 8500GT 256mb with DVI+TV OUT Video, A very powerful computer, we can't wait soon! :D

LOL!

Some games have good sound than other. The sound is incomplete and is still in progressing, ok ? Nothing is wrong with you expect the speed. Maybe you need to buy a new pc. :)

Make sure you read the no$gba's changelog for it. It didnt include so it is not emulating yet. It will but it can be years or sooner. Dont know yet. :)
