Well I've downloaded the NO$GBA emulator, and I really wanna play the latest Pokemon games.

1. I've tried Platinum and Diamond. They both won't save properly and are really slow.

2. Is there anything I can download/install to help this problem?

Cheers :eyemove:

1. Check out the stickied Faq, and if they are really slow, play them on your DS.
2. NO.

I would play them on my DS, but I sold my DS.

xD

Then... get another one.

Please can you try and help instead of giving stupid answers.

Ok. What are your specs of your computer?
I need to know that.
And for the problem of Save, set up the save of NDS to Flash 512kb (if you're using NO$GBA 2.6) or Set up the save to Auto (if you have NO$GBA 2.6a).
Pd: Try to disabling sound, but enable it when you finish a battle or when you are going to the title screen in Platinum.

Processor = Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T3200 @ 2.00GHz
Memory = 2.00GB

I copied that off the 'My Computer' window.

Also, NO$GBA isn't working at all now so I'm going to reinstall it.

 

[Lex_Light]

It's a dual core, or it's a single core?
Well, I have an AMD Athlon XP 2200+ and 1,25 GB Ram, and the game works at 100% of speed.

 

[iFordy]

Sorry but I'm new to this stuff so what do you mean by 'Optimize my computer'.

And is there an emulator which uses Dual which will play Platinum smoothly?

 

[Lex_Light]

NO$GBA runs Platinum good. Desmume runs slow, and iDeaS runs slow and with some errors.
No, every DS emu uses only ONE core. ONE core, you understand?

 

[iFordy]

Ok sorry I didn't know

Anyway, why is it only one core...?

 

[Smilley]

Because it was never programmed to handle multi-core; neither was any other DS emulator up-to-date.
Your processor, as it does not use Core Duo technology, is equivalent to any single-core 2GHz processor and the emulator and the games played with it will behave accordingly. This said, No$GBA 2.6a can produce a playable, though not 100% framerate for the Pokemon games at 2GHz.

Also, Lex, telling people to use their DS is a no-answer. It is obvious that the original hardware handles any given game the most accurately, but it doesn't help with the question given. That said, would you please refrain from giving this answer in the future.

Yes, sorry about that.

I have a a pc with Pentium IV processor and 256mb of ram and an intel made graphics card and those games for me run at 80% (noticeably slow but very playable). Make sure that you use the latest no$gba. Hopefully i have helped
