Nintendo DS slow emulation (Desmume and MelonDS)

Hello,

I tried using both available cores for NintendoDS emulation but i experience a very slow emultion for most games. Even more than for the unofficial/under development citra 3ds for switch core… I also tried with external bios but same problem.

I use original intern resolution and it is slow. By the way I wish to increase that resolution like for N64 games with mupen64 plus but it is unplayable due to the slow emulation.

Do you have any suggestions ?

Thank you

Yes it’s much slower than the standalone version. I have a powerful PC, so I can manage to run games at a slightly higer resolution than normal, but it’s not ideal. Switching to opengl in the core options gives a performance boost.

If it doesn’t work for you, I suggest using the standalone version instead.
