YopYop testing

[Robert]

This emulator only runs NDS files. The website states that GBA files will work, but none worked for me.

 

The keys are as follows:

Cursor keys = arrow keys

Start = Enter key

A = Q key

B = W key

the rest = not emulated

 

There are no help files or any kind of documentation at all.

 

It allows you to open a 2nd demo while the first is running, however the results can be unpredictable (screen not cleared and likely hang). It's best to close the emu and open it again for the next demo.

 

There is no sound.

 

The touchscreen position seems to be out of position a little.

This emu shows promise. It does reasonably well with the homebrew demos, but, like the other emulators, it doesn't run commercial games. It runs one of the E3 demos.
