Of course, it should be worth noting that you're going to need a decently powerful (and probably relatively recent) system to run DeSmuME. Don't expect to be playing Pokemon on your old 486 (at least, at anything resembling normal speeds). Smile

It's dependent largely on the games you're trying to run, I think. For example, the Pokemon games (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver) are a bit infamous for bogging down even on decent systems, which is one reason I mentioned them. Smile

The more a game uses 3D and other special effects, the more likely it's going to require more system resources... but you know that. Smile

It still tends to want a relatively decent system, for the most part, though.

Yes it's slow. No$gba is a lot faster, even running through wine.

You can run NO$GBA through Wine? Shocked

I'd probably have been reluctant to try that. Very Happy

(Well, aside from the fact that my Linux system is mostly ten year-old hardware...)

Well, version 0.9.8 was released not too long ago, but I don't know how easy it would be to compile, yet. :/
