What version are you using? What do you think we can do to help without knowing this?

I AM A SLACKER, ALRIGHT?

Fellow humans, even robots have a life. What do you expect?

Ok, seriously, this is an open-source project. We devote our own free time to work on it. Although I would like to work on the Qt frontend more often, the reality does not allow me to free up more time for a lot of things. Important things always go first, and this is not the most important thing in my life. This is how life works.

For your real problem, you can use filters in the gtk+ frontend. Make sure you are compiling from a recent version of the source code (note, use versions before r5043 since that one introduces some graphical bugs to some games).

Can you also upload a save at the point for us to test?

I am thinking it could be the commit r5043 breaking something, since that commit changes gpu code.

Or you can try r5042 and r5043 to see if the problem starts on r5043.

You need to press a key combination when starting a new game in order to overwrite the save. Look it up.

Em, it's actually the default window colour since it is not explicitly set (could possibly be "buttonface"), which, depends on the theme, it may be any colour.

It's true, maybe it should be set to black, or there should be a DS frame drawn. Who knows what the users want.

This is what you can expect from non-Unicode programs. Just use ASCII filenames and everyone will be happy.

Have you simply tried the DeSmuME official Mac frontend instead?

IIRC DraStic's .dsv saves are simply normal .sav, i.e. raw save data without any header and footer.

The Windows frontend is different from the Mac frontend.
I am not surprised if the Mac frontend doesn't have path settings.

Well I've never touched the OpenGL renderer because the software rasterizer is perfect for me and I figured out OpenGL wouldn't help much.

Same for LUA since I have no use with that at the moment. Though the dependency resolution should depend on pkg-config, perhaps it isn't related to DeSmuME's build scripts.

About performance, have you read the WiKi about optimization? The performance will be absolutely terrible without aggressive optimization. See http://wiki.desmume.org/index.php?title … e_on_Linux and http://wiki.desmume.org/index.php?title … tion#Linux

To enable jit, run with `desmume --cpu-mode=1`

No new "official release" in less than a year's time doesn't mean no development. In fact, forget about official releases, just use the svn builds if you care about the latest version at all.

I will not be surprised if MS screwed up their own driver. Check if it actually get detected as a joystick. You should be able to test it in Control Panel.
