DeSmuME 0.9 for Windows and Mac "This new release is the product of hundreds of new code improvements: We now have an almost 100% reworked 3D core, which is shared amongst all ports for the first time, and have better save states. Compatibility has been improved across the board. The huge number of reworked systems and small fixes is noticeable on some games and homebrew games are running better–or even running at all for the first time. And this work has not stopped, so stay tuned for what’s coming in the future!"

Has anyone tested this recently and had it work? My friend was trying to download it and he said it didn't work.....or at least it worked but then crashed. He downloaded it from a different site though, the file was a little bigger, it appeared to be the same or an update. So was wondering if this file does in fact work or whether it's just a flaw in the software?
I've been using version 0.9.1 x86 since Feb. 2009 and it seems to work quite well for me. My machine is a Core duo quad w/4 gigs ram and Nvidia Gforce 8600 GT. Most games play pretty well. Sometimes the sound will slow or be off a little but making a smaller window usually fixes that. Most of the time I use window size #2 setting.
Since version 0.9 DeSmuME has gone through some major changes and is now quite usable as a DS Emu. That said perfection is not guaranteed and there are still games which have gamebreaking bugs or which simply don't work, but overall it's now just as good as no$gba...if not even a little better, compatibility is incomparable to earlier version it's gone from supporting very little to just about everything. That said it is pretty CPU hungry and a Dual or Quad Core in excess of 2.4Ghz is recommended.
