The 5 top reasons Desmume is better than no$gba

[ouch123]

#5. Configuration
[Desmume is much easier to configure-there's almost nothing you need to configure other than controls!]

#4. Better sound
[Desmume typically has much less static, music is clearer in general, music is generally louder, etc.]

#3. Getting it to work
[Desmume=download emulator, download ROM image, decompress, run it...
No$GBA=Download BIOs (Illegal), firmware (also illegal), eNDryptS advance, Rom image, decompressor, and on and on and on, and that's just the files you need, not the actual process, and No$GBA will still have problems that I don't really understand how happened]

#2. Save feature
[Desmume has both save compatibility AND a save state function-No$GBA has neither]

#1. Compatibility
[Let's face it: No$GBA was good, it's not now. Make room for Desmume-the only games I've seen it lose to No$GBA so far is the Pheonix Wright games, and since you can't save in No$GBA...yeah...
Oh, and let's not forget some people only download roms to see whether or not they like a game to see whether or not they should buy it, not to keep it on their hard drive]

Now, this is just my personal opinion, and No$GBA may win in some categories, but I would like to point out that I use these versions of the emulators, and that I mean no offense to the creator of No$GBA:
Desmume=0.5.0
No$GBA=2.3b for Windows (non-debug version)

P.S: Get desmume. (''>_>)

True all of them, except the #5; I wish it'd be more configurable. And you forgot you have to encrypt ROMs again in order to run them on NO$GBA.

I totally do not agreed with you. You are being unfair to the authors. They both are doing a good jobs and no$gba will improvement in time. I liked them just fine. I am being fair.

[montpics]

Can't bring any difference if you just compare with just two emulators since both emulators can do something at the moment.

Respect the authors, as those people had done their best.

[azoreseuropa]

See ?

[ouch123]

Well as I said, I didn't mean any offence (offense?) to the creator of No$GBA. Also, again, this was just my personal opinion as well, and for anyone who doesn't want to go through all the trouble of testing out all the emulators, well, here's my little list. I mean, I went through a lot of effort to figure out how to finall make NO$GBA work, and then I realized that I preferred Desmume. Sorry if it seemed like I was just downing on No$GBA.

[azoreseuropa]

That's your opinion. The desmume and no$gba are my personal favorites so I am not picky. I test them both to see how far they can go!

The GBA & DS BIOSes are only illegal to share( in public, e-mail and passworded ZIPs between peops you know personal are fine) not download and their and many public-domain( copyright-free) firmwares made by hacker trying to mod the DS, plus the Japanese which is only illegal to share in japan.

In other BIOS & firmware are not illegal no disrespect or anything but to spread remorse like that thats how people misunderstand their rights.

You are wrong. You can save in No$GBA..if you mean save state, no but emulate ds card, then yes.
