iDeaS – A Cool Emulator
O. James Samson - June 6, 2007
Here is a cool emulator worth checking out.
iDeaS is a Nintendo DS emulator that can run NDS games on Windows PC with OpenGL. So far, it has emulated the ARM7 GBA processor at 100%, but the ARM9 dual screen processor at 90%.
The plugin system came originally from UltraHLE N64 emulator so that further support can achieved without looking at the source code of the emulator.
The latest version, iDeaS 1.0.1.5 which has just been released has these changes:
- Added LDRD and STRD opcodes;
- Added HuffUnComp BIOS function;
- Added Square Root BIOS function;
- Added command line options;
- Added zipped rom support (the emulator slows down);
- Added basic frameskip;
- Added support for M3, Supercard CF and Supercard One files;
Added Run to Cursor(F6) and Step Over(F8) in debugger; - Added support for Shadow Polygons;
- Added support for .ds.gba and .sc.nds files;
- Added Rotation feature;
- Added Save/Load game capability;
- Fixed unaligned memory access on LDRH opcode;
- Fixed a bug in textures management;
- Fixed a bug in 3D matrices management;
- Fixed a bug in LIGHT_VECTOR register;
- Fixed a bug in NORMAL register;
- Fixed a bug in GXSTAT register;
- Fixed a bug in Extended Draw Mode management;
- Fixed a bug in microphone support

Well the problems get ironed out when the newer versions are released. Ive been into emulators for many years and follow the nds emulators a lot now days. So its best to wait until more support is added in the new versions which have better roms support aswell as sound and graphics card support. Ideas really is a great nds emulator and its one of a select few that stand out with quality.

Well well,but there is still no good nds emulators,everyone is bugging anyways,i played no cash gba,it sucks more than gods fucking rain does…i want a emulator there u can play fast mode(speed) so it wont take 100 days for getting to a plays 5 min from the beginning spot…and i don’t want a fucking window poping up when i’m half finished with the game,then i push a “ok” button on the window that popped up,and the emulator turns off…so i have to do the whole game again! so PLEAZE make a emulator with those options,and make so u can make a bigger display,it’s to tall and small…so yeah i want a emulator with the mode so u can play it faster,bugg free so i can play without saving if i want to and without that it pops a window that makes the emu turn off…AND a good saving way!…sorry to insult,but i’m kinda tired of searching by all those fucking noob emu that sucks more than my hairy balls…

iDeaS is so slow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have pokemon platinum, and it takes like 5 seconds to take two steps!!! I’m at skip 9 frames and increase speed by 150%, it doesn’t help! It’s so slow!!! Why can’t you have it like no$gba, with the speedup button at least?! I can’t use no$gba because platinum doesn’t work with that, and I just imported all my cheats onto it, I’m not transporting them. Do a better fucking job, slackers.

It sucks really hard that everything is so slow. U should at least released a fast mode beacsue everyone is used to lpaying the GBA with it …
Think before u bring out something. Or try doing a BEETA next time

Atleast be thankful to Lino.. He providing it to you for no charges with updates. Have been using ver 1.0.2.4 and have faced no problem except slow speed of few roms(yeah only few).Recently downloaded ver 1.0.3.1, much faster..

Well i just did a test run but the only complaint I have is that it is too slow. Do we have a better choice?

The Nintendo Wii started out the revolution of movement primarily based gaming handle, but they have been not the 1st. The Sony PS3 remotes have had gyroscopes in the remote way before the Wii was released, but the comprehensive flexibility that Nintendo made with their WiiMote has not been beat due to the fact. For Nintendo Wii fans this new way to management the sport system, is not only revolutionary, but also a extremely immersive gaming knowledge. There has in no way been a mainstream gaming method that has brought the entire family into the gaming action the way that the Nintendo Wii has in the complete historical past of console gaming.
