DeSmuME is a Nintendo DS emulator.
DeSmuME attempts to emulate, as faithfully as possible, the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite handheld game consoles (NDS).
It currently runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. DSi is not supported.
What does DeSmuME mean?
DeSmuME is a Nintendo DS emulator and the name is a play of words - DS Emu + ME (like FlashMe - firmware hack and PassMe mod-chip for DS) The name DeSmuME derives from the popular use of ME in Nintendo DS products by homebrew developers. So DeSmuME would equal DSemuMe. Other popular uses of ME include:
• LoadMe - a generic patcher for commercial DS roms that works with any GBA Flash Card
• PassMe - "mod-chip" using which takes authentication from an original DS card an allows execution of unauthenticated DS rom code - from the GBA cartridge slot / GBA flash card.
• FlashMe - a hacked firmware for DS that allows you to start code in DS mode from a flash card in the GBA slot.
• WifiMe - are a set of a custom drivers and software by FireFly for RALink based wireless network cards enabling to boot homebrew code on DS via Nintendo Wireless Multiboot method.
Its name is derived from emu which is short for emulator, DS and me. It's possibly supposed to mean "DS emulator for me".
🌍️ Wikipedia:
DeSmuME (formerly named YopYop DS) is a free and open-source Nintendo DS emulator for Linux, OS X, Wii, AmigaOS 4, and Windows. Its name is derived from emu (which is short for emulator), DS and ME.
History
The original
The original emulator was in French, with user translations to English and other languages. It supported many homebrew Nintendo DS ROM demos, and a handful of Wireless Multiboot demo ROMs.
The original author, YopYop156, stopped developing DeSmuME at version 0.3.3 due to a change of laws regarding emulation in France, which was later discovered to be an April Fool's joke. After receiving feedback he eventually decided to quit anyway, and the source code was released.
Developer team
Initially, based on the original YopYop code, several independent developers released unofficial builds of DeSmuME. These various developers later united and merged their work, resulting in version 0.5.0 as their first release.

On April 18, 2010, one of the contributors reported that work on Wi-Fi has reached a milestone. It was confirmed Mario Kart DS is possible to link and Worms: Open Warfare 2 can use Wi-Fi to play, albeit limited, multiplayer for 1 round. As of June 18, 2010, Wi-Fi was removed from the emulator by the developers due to actions by Nintendo. A developer reported that the Wi-Fi feature would remain disabled until they could get it "perfect enough to not get noticed again at Nintendo's side".
With the end of Nintendo support for online play of DS games, the issue was rendered moot.

• High-resolution 3D rendering (available on Windows SVN r5268 and later, and on OS X SVN r5245 and later)
• xBRZ texture upscaling.
• Mipmapping, bilinear and anisotropic texture filtering.
System requirements
According to the official wiki project, there are no hard minimum hardware requirements for DeSmuME, but most games will run fairly well on the following operating systems and hardware:
• Windows: XP SP2 or later
• OS X: v10.5.8 Leopard or later
• Linux OS: any recent distribution with a 2.6 kernel
• CPU: 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or equivalent
• RAM: 1 GB
Unofficial ports
DeSmuME has been ported to other systems, including a proof of concept port to the PlayStation Portable. That port has been called "useless" because the PSP does not have a touchscreen, and lacks the processing power to emulate games at full speed. Despite these shortcomings, it proves that successfully running Nintendo DS software on a PSP is possible. There is also a RetroArch/Libretro port.
X432R
DeSmuME X432R is a fork that includes some additional features for the Windows port. It is best known for adding an experimental high-resolution 3D renderer long before mainline DeSmuME received that feature.
Un émulateur de console Nintendo DS, par la DeSmuME Team.
DeSmuME est un émulateur libre et multi-plateforme des consoles Nintendo DS et Nintendo DS Lite (= version portable) dont l'objectif est de les émuler aussi fidèlement que possible.
Un fork du source (voir la section "Resources" ci-dessus) le rend compatible avec libretro (pour plus de précision concernant l'application libreto, voir la fiche "Libretro (& RetroArch)"
Cet émulateur vous permet de jouer sous Linux avec des ROMS téléchargées sur internet.
Attention : le téléchargement de ROMS commerciales est illégal à moins de les avoir acquises financièrement.

DeSmuME est un émulateur Nintendo DS.
DeSmuME tente d'imiter, aussi fidèlement que possible, la console de jeu Nintendo DS et la console de jeu portable Nintendo DS Lite (NDS).
Il fonctionne actuellement sous Windows, Linux et Mac OS X. DSi n'est pas pris en charge.
Que signifie DeSmuME?
DeSmuME est un émulateur de Nintendo DS et son nom provient d'un jeu de mots - DS Emu + ME (comme FlashMe et PassMe, la puce de mod pour la DS contenant le firmware permettant de la "bidouiller") Le nom DeSmuME est dérivé de l'utilisation populaire de ME dans les produits Nintendo DS par les développeurs de logiciels personnels. Donc, DeSmuME serait égal à DSemuMe.
🌍️ Wikipedia:
DeSmuME est un émulateur libre de la Nintendo DS. Il est disponible pour Macintosh, Windows et Linux et est programmé en C.
C'est au départ le projet d'un développeur français, connu sous le pseudonyme yopyop, qui abandonne le projet début 2006 et libère les sources sous licence GNU GPL. Les deux principaux développeurs de Yabause reprennent peu de temps après le développement de l'émulateur. Ils appliquent alors les mêmes principes à DeSmuME que ceux qu'ils suivaient pour Yabause :
• le code, qui était en C++, est réécrit en pur C
• un hébergement est ouvert sur sourceforge et le code est placé sur un CVS public
• l'accent est mis sur la portabilité, l'interface GTK+ écrite par Thoduv est intégré au CVS
Historique
À la suite de la libération des sources par yopyop, plusieurs forks de l'émulateur ont vu le jour. Parmi ceux-ci, un des plus notables était celui de shash qui ajoutait le support de la 3D. Shash a depuis rejoint le tronc « officiel » et intégré son code.
La version 0.9.10 apporte une compilation à la volée (jit) pour l'émulation, ce qui accélère grandement les opérations et voit une remise au propre générale qui permet de faire fonctionner de nouvelles applications.
La version 0.9.11 se focalise sur l'interface Cocoa, corrige un certain nombre de problèmes et améliore le système de sauvegarde.
Astuce :
Si vous obtenez l'erreur : GLXBadContext, essayez l'option "--disable-3d" (mais dans ce cas vous n'aurez pas accès aux jeux en 3D).
