Ok, i can get it loaded but when i click excecute it pops up with a message box saying error Dualis needs to close and that send to windows crap... whats wrong?

All current emus cannot run DS commerical games' roms yet.

You realize there is a topic right below this one explaing that dualis wont run commertial games right ?

It doesn't work. At all. On any DS Emu. For now.... Buy the game you bastard.

As everyone has been saying it is true that Dualis cannot run commercial games but I don't think that is darkangel's problem. It looks to me like he doesn't have the necessary AMR7 and AMR9 bios files for the emulator. I remember that this all of the DS emulators would crash on me before I got the bios files for them. Now they just showed a black screen for any incompatible rom.

Don't ask for the bios files however as this is against the forum rules to do so. If you search google you might get lucky but the NDS's bios files are very, very hard to find. Your best bet is to dump your own bios. I believe that there are topics here that tell you how but I'm not sure. Check around before asking though.

The main point however is that yes you should just buy your own DS (if you don't have one already) and the game to go with it. The NDS does not have a region lock-out feature so you can play games from other regions on it other then your own (if I'm not mistaken) without having to mod it or anything like that.

No handheld has regional lockouts.

WRONG. You can run A LOT of commercial games with Desmume and Ideas.

It appears that way; there is even a NDS ROMS compatibility list on the Desmume site!

Yes, I've gotten several NDS games working at respectable speeds (only 2D games, mind you).

I see. Sorry for giving wrong info. I guess I got to search for those bios and hopefully get them instead of virused.

Dump them yo' self, then, foo.

acually the no$gba can I have tryed it

No$gba can, and so can iDeaS. I prefer iDeaS, though, cause you don't have to mess around with BIOS.

For a compatibility list of commercial ROMs on iDeaS, go here: Unofficial iDeaS Compatibility List

Not that many.

The emulation just isn't up to par right now. I'd suspect it to be very well in a year or two if we're lucky. Right now the sales of flashcards have pretty much stunted the need to emulate the console.

Which verily blows.

WHat's the reason behind the slow emulation of the DS? I'm not rushing for I'm not a DS fan but i was wondering. I mean the graphics are somewhat improved, but is it the whole touch screen affect or the dual screens that are hard to emulate?

Yeh the DS has been around for some good years now, and PCs today have proportionately a f.ckload of power to leverage in emulating it. I always remember the GBA being emulated extremely well early on, and, hardware wise, the DS doesn't seem overly more complicated than that was.

we just need more people to take time on it.

Wrong.

iDeaS
No&GBA

u can also use the NO$GBA emulator to emulate

A few things that had to be said before :

- iDeas ins't working on Vista ( I bet you all have XP so this is no problem for you ).
- No$GBA runs the pokemon game if you have bios but the game freezes after your 1st battle against the bird pokemon.

So I don't know about the iDeas emulator, but the creator of that emu shoul really make it work with Vista so I can try the Pokemon on it and see if it still freezes at that place ...

iDeaS can run Pokemon D/P, but none of the sprites show up. So even if you could get to the first battle, it wouldn't matter if the game froze.

Hmm a thing I found is : No$GBA runs the game and if you enable the sound you may continue after each battle, but the saving thing on this emulator sucks alot ....... see every time I try to run my saved file it is showing some crapy error ...... if the saving was done any better the game would run really good... ( as I said when I turn on the sound on the emulator the game continues and I didn't got no crash thing after that, just every time I try to load my saved file it fails... and I have to play over and over again ...... )

Set a correct savetype. I believe this has been discussed in numerous threads already.

Any idea how to do that on the No$GBA ?

via the No$Gba settings.

Thats what I get when I try to load the saved file..... I've tried all thing on this emulator but it won't work

Save the game in game instead of saving the state of the game, it worked for me (go to the menu, using X, go to save, and then u can save the game)

Yeah I got it, FASH 256 or FLASH 512 it works perfectly - this game is great btw

You must be one drunk Jack sparow because iDeas does work on Vista. Downlaod it agian and check.

Oh it refused to work for me ....... hmm I guess it's not working on Windows Jack Sparrow edition

The normal map is like 2.5 D, it makes the game lag. I'll probably play it in the next few versions of no$gba.

l2 support companies kthx

This game works perfectly for me, just a few things left till I finish it, I've beated all the guys in the league now the little island left

watch out for pokemon diamond rom..

the withdraw/deposit PC thing doesnt work sometimes....

happened to me after hatching my egg and i didnt save after

dont make the same mistake!!!

*If you're curious how it doesnt work, here's a description: It freezes and you cant do anything. It gets stuck at a bar and a red box pointer thing.

a little hello from me



currently working to make the whole game work perfectly... hi

Hi,

just a quick note: you can download Pokemon Diamond ROM for free here:

Link Removed

Remember that legally you must delete it in 24 hours if you don't own the original game.

Thanks

Guys... where do all these rumours about 24hrs etc come from? It's illegal, period.

Link removed. No linking to Roms, sites that have Roms, or sites that link to Roms.

Account suspended.

humm i will try and set out the emu to the settings sergested cos i got it to work just cant save >.< but thanks for the help and with that i will be posting (well editing after it works or not

most nds emulators have very little compatibility as they are, and pokemon diamond/pearl is a very new game (and quite big - 64 mb, if i'm not mistaken)

so far, i think the best emu for nds is no$gba (or something like that) and even that plays warioware perfectly until you get to any 3d scenes/mini games.

I don't know why you would say that... NDS emulators these days have rather good compatibility. iDeaS v1.0.1.7 runs most games at full speed with sound.

Oh boy, that (underlined) statement always gives me the heebie jeebies .... yes, and if I go out and rob a few banks in 24 hours, but then give all the money back the next day, nothing happened right? NO, you still robbed the bank. NO, you still go to jail!

humm i used the config that was posted above and it don't work ........ any other ideas? cos i kinda smashed up my DS.... but i stil wanna play so kind of need some help xD i just cant get it to work just right .... i cant get rid of my saves.....

I am about half way done with the game (been working great for me) just got past the psyducks in the road, when all of a sudden the top screen went white. So ive been playing for about 2 hours and didn't want to redo that 2 hours, so I saved the game, exited, and started the game back up. To my surprise the top screen was still white, and continues to be white no matter how many times I try to load it. I even tried a different Rom...The weird thing is when I push start the Pokemon, bag, save etc list comes up that I can see... Can anyone help me fix this white screen please?

Are you playing this emulated, on the real deal with a cartridge, or through a flash cart? If emulated, there's no telling what happened -- no emulator is perfect at the moment. I most certainly wouldn't play any games for long periods of times without save states (or play a game with the intent of being it, for that matter). You might want to try a save editor and see if you can change your location or something. You can find one of those here.

Well I fixed it, if anyone else has that problem, all you have to do is use Defog, and the white screen eventually goes away... !!... but now im having another problem haha ... ive gotten to the Team galaxy boss ontop of the mountain, and when i beat his 2 capains, it flashes to Dialga and freezes. It doesnt respond or anything. I tried replaying it, and got the same result... heh... not fun...

So, it didn't "suddenly" go blank... it fogged... which is part of the game.

Thats part of the game? cause I watched a vid on youtube, and the screen didnt go totally white like mine did... but it doesnt matter, it works now... sept the part im at... :-s... dang thing keeps freezing... heh

Are you playing on an emulator?
