If you want git, then you can use the alvinhochun git: https://bitbucket.org/alvinhochun/desmume-qt-frontend
He is merging all the things with the official SVN, while develop the qt frontend.
And at least for me, the qt frontend have more potential of all (eg: is easy to make multi-platform shader on qt)
You can contribute too

Sure, the git have more useful tools online (like github). But it's not mean git will bring more devs. Let's take a sample:
The PCSX2 migrate for github, and we have initial desire to contribute. The Kingcom make 2 Pull Requests, one of these you (Monochrome100, or at least the same user name) and the Tyestor make comments for motivate this action. BUT, have been 12 days now (and will be more), that nobody (I said nobody) make something to merge this commit. And it's not hardcore commits, just simple ones. Because of this, we don't desire to contribute anymore. What is missing to it be like the PPSSPP github? Simple, the PPSSPP github have a good leader, the Henrik Rydgård (hrydgard). And you can be sure, is the hrydgard that make the difference with this good tool, not the github itself.

Maybe try to recruit the person that make this fork is a good choice, he/she can do this and avoid double work. And more skillful devs is good to desmume too (at least for my viewpoint)

Wrong! There is (with a fast search):
* DraStic DS ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta … mu.drastic )
* nds4droid ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta … s.ds4droid )
* Open NDS Emulator ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta … source.nds )

And probably more if you search just a little more.

I'm having just little free time. And when I just get something, some like a linux kernel bug (to be exact: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67191 ) take it away from me (it's kinda make me cry). Sure, I want to make some pull-requests, but it will have to wait until at least the middle of July. It's hard times, I have to make free space on full HD, stop all things I'm doing for this process, to make the kernel bisect and fix the bug, fix the bug, after this, clean the filesystem for take back the files that go away for the free space sake, recover the lost work time, make some more free time again, and will be at least the middle of July (it's kinda make me cry again -_- ).

Very good job! So many working things on the new alternative frontend in so little time, a good and clean code too.
From my dev perspective, I like a lot of Qt framework (and Boost C++ Libraries too). I hope more devs will appreciate it too.
Thanks a lot ^^

If you want the github, have a mirror here: https://github.com/mirror/desmume
But on the sourceforge, you can get the SVN here: http://sourceforge.net/p/desmume/code/HEAD/tree/

It's a public thing that all dev should know, unless he is living inside some cave by at least 14 years.

If that day comes, you will like Qt. And not just because of GUI, but for Slot and Signals (for easy events dev), Qt Linguist (for easy internationalization), Qt XML, Qt Threading, Qt Networking and many more (even if you don't use the Qt GUI). It's one of my favorite cpp APIs, along with the Boost C++ Libraries.
Well, I don't know my future customers, so I'm happy for Qt and Boost C++ Libraries bring a bit the ease way of C# and Java to the cpp.

On 2010, ok! But and now (2014), the gtk3 is not that good, the cocoa and windows UI is more job. Is the Qt5 more viable now? I mean, keep 3 UIs instead of 1, seems hard to me; and the download speed is faster now (it's still around 1gb -_- ).
