i dont know why they dont have a "general" emulator forum. anyway, ive tried every DS emulator on the internet. they either crash when executing a game, or they pretend to run, despite just displaying a perpetual black screen. apparently there are plenty of ds roms out there, but several sites say that only a handfull of those games will actually run. whats the point if this is true? doesnt anyone else have this problem?
