How come no one told me DS emulation on PC is so great?

How come no one told me DS emulation on PC is so great?
>>
You don't seem to know it yet, considering you're not increasing the internal resolution of the game. It's been possible for some time.
>>
Is it really fun playing them on PC? Do you play with a controller?
>>
>>343030863
Yes, and mouse for touch screen. It works surprisingly well.
>>
>>343030970
I'll have to give it a shot, I really like the portability aspect of playing it on original hardware/phone emulating but emulating it on a phone can be a pain.
>>
Where do you guys download your roms? Looks like Coolroms is missing a lot.
>>
>>343030068
It works pretty well depending on the game. The Ace Attorney games work so well on an emulator because you can play the entire game with a mouse.
>>
It's not that good desu. It stopped evolving a few years ago, even the ps2 emulator is better now.
>>

Try the yu gi oh games, if you like it. The DS yu gi ohs are the best, IMO.

It has always had some slowdown for me. It's pretty underdeveloped sadly

Use http://www9.zippyshare.com/v/a9ehXWhE/file.html, go to graphic settings and set HD Prescaling to 2 or higher

>>343031572
Most recent big development was upscaling in DeSmuMe. Actually makes games look a decent amount better.

Yes, i've tested it. The pcsx2 runs much better at higher resolutions.
A few years ago the pcsx2 could barely work, now it's perfect.

>>343033432
This guy is absolutely right. The ds emulator evolved better on phones than it did on PC. It runs amazingly even in shitty phones.

can you play in higher resolution on 3ds?

My Toaster runs everything fine except heavy 3D games and even then it's mostly just audio skipping a bit in Strange Journey.

It seems to HATE Mario Party DS though.

But it can you dumb faggot, higher resolution it has been a thing in smartphones since last year.

>>343036716
Use GL Textscale 2X or 4x in the graphic settings

Oh boy, it might be a little better than default. Big deal. Enjoy your shit battery life and nobuttons.

Unless you have a phone from 2012 this is no true.

Not true either. You can get one of those PSP like controllers. Enjoy your notouchscreen tho.

I know, how can people play handheld games on a computer is beyond me.

How do I get the HD visuals in a PC DS emu

Because having a giant controller attached to your phone or juggling a controller and a phone for the touch screen is so much easier than using a mouse.

>>343037396
Use your fucking brain
>>
>>343037398
Uh, no? Most games developed for the DS have heavy use of the touchscreen and most of the time the games can be played with it fully so the use of a controller is o p t i o n a l. The only games where you would need a controller are platformers like Megaman XZ.
Have fun moving you hand to reach your mouse and point at your screen while playing on a chair thought.

Hey mobilefags, can you play MKDS in true widescreen? Didn't think so.

Strange Journey
EO series
Dark Spire
Zelda games were fun
I'm sure there's a more established list but that's what I can think of
>>
>>343037831
Pokemon

>>343038019
No, but i can play it at a high resolution on the train. I use my computer to emulate Mario kart Wii, not to play handheld games.

Just go to /v/ recommended games.

The only thing I want for DS emulation is an auto fill in for Dawn of Sorrow since drawing those seals with a mouse is awful for myself.

Nintendo sued the fuck out of coolrom. They have next to no Nintenyearold stuff.

Search the game version you're playing then check the settings.

>You can get one of those PSP like controllers.
Sony phones are also compatible with ps3/4 controllers either wired or over Bluetooth. You need a mount for them though which is annoying.
Still, emulating ps1 games on your phone is a nice way to spend your daily commute.

>>
>>343038973
It's the exact same shit you get in these threads.
The only things that won't be on there or in the spoonfeed posts on /v/ are some lame as fuck japanese game like a fucking doreamon kanji teacher for babies. Because nobody wants that shit.

It's good enough that it even works well on mac.
There's a bit of slowdown, but it's otherwise more or less perfect.
