DeSmuME v0.9.11 now released! 8 years, 11 months ago #4047

For anyone interested in Nintendo DS emulation -- DeSmuME has been updated to v0.9.11! This was a very Mac-focused released, with some features being Mac-only. If anyone has given up on Mac DeSmuME in the past due to its former bad reputation, I strongly encourage you to try out v0.9.11. DeSmuME has finally gotten past the bad old days of v0.9.6.

Enjoy!

From the v0.9.11 release notes:
In this version, we have focused on the Cocoa frontend, but there have been some good core fixes over so long. Notably, the save-related issues resulting in the advice "dont use 0.9.10" have been resolved.

bug: fix large numbers of games not being able to save anymore
bug: fix some missing sound effects due to wrong volumes in some boot scenarios and other things
bug: fix freezes due to tiny looping sounds
bug: fix many big endian issues
bug: fix some apparently rarely-used CPU instructions, no known consequences
bug: fix (block) reading of some GPU registers
bug: fix action replay code type 0xE
bug: fix reading of last 4 bytes of rom
bug: large improvements to stability of GDB stub
bug: support w-buffer support in OpenGL renderers
bug: fix unpredictable crashes in some 3d scenes from w=0
enh: better loading of roms (bad patches) with wrong size info in header
