DeSmuME is a Nintendo DS emulator that allows you to play games on your Mac using DS ROM files, which you can download from the Internet.
The GameBoy has come a long way since we first saw that big white and grey block at the end of the last century. Its great, great, great grandson, the Nintendo DS is now even more powerful than the high-tech machines doing the rounds in the arcades of the early 90s. In fact, it's so good that sometimes you'll want to play with it in the office, which obviously you can't. Well, actually you can. Actually you can't. Well, with DeSmuME you sort of can. Let us explain...
The first thing you'll need to realize is that downloading DS ROM files is illegal, so on your own head be it if the FBI rolls up outside your house. Legalities aside, DeSmuME is a pretty decent emulator, originally designed for games programmers to develop and test their latest creations. DeSmuME can be a little tricky to set up, but once running you'll be able to enjoy a huge selection of games in ROM format.
DeSmuME is a solid Nintendo DS emulator for the Mac.

It supports many homebrew nds ROM demos as well as a handful of Wireless Multiboot demo nds ROMs. DeSmuME is also able to emulate some of the commercial nds ROM titles which other DS Emulators like iDeaS and Dualis aren't capable of doing so.

Honestly I see a lot of reviews noting about crashing after short periods of time and the like, these users however don't realize it isn't the emulators fault. The emulator generally runs on over 300,000k memory, if your computer cant handle that kind of memory usage then obviously it will crash. I have run the program for an entire day and it didn't crash even once, some minor slowdowns were noted but at the time of my posting this I only had three gigs of ram. So before you give the emulator a bad rating, look at your operating system first and see if it can handle 300,000k memory usage. If it can, you should be seeing near seamless game play swift and accurate touchscreen simulations and rich sound.
- Plays many games and plays them clearly.
- Good sound quality.
- Excellent touch screen interface.
- great framerates.
- Has a high memory draw (over 300,000k)
