Yes if this penguin can  potentially help in faster development of project.

Patches are not the same as merge requests. You dont need to merge everyone but you should merge all good ones.By good ones I mean ones which are objectively beneficial to end-users and DS emulation in general because not doing so can lead to stagnation of DS emulation.I dont doubt in your skills but few guys can do so much. While Git allow large number of people to contribute.

I never said before that it has team or not and you are one who started talking about leader but if someone is leader than its Zeromus because he seems to have control of repository and this project in general.
Also  you can say it has ''team'' because there is few developers with write access to repository so they are not completely separate and are listed as developers.
And even alvinhochun said that merging between SVN and Git is clumsy.

Well there are few different  factors like for example:architecture of emulated console, number of developers/contributors, how skilled they are ,motivation, teamwork, if they are willing to think outside the box , if they are willing to merge external contributions.
But you really should switch to Git and also create official Git mirror on  Github because Desmume will never reach its full potentiall otherwise.You said yourself that Windows version of Desmume cant get shader support currently like OSX version because it has outdated GUI which cant support shaders.If Desmume was Git based and had more contributors like PPSSPP updating GUI wouldnt be much of a problem same thing with increasing internal resolution maybe someone would figure it out before author of Desmume X432R and would be able to make merge request.

Git allow for easy forking of repositories so others can easily create their own forks/branches make modifications and potentially merge them, branches can be created and destroyed at will, including remote branches,clones of the repository have the full history, including all branches,ability to rewrite history/commits before they land in trunk (rebase),push rights not needed to contribute. Repository can be distributed as Git bundles or tarballs ,small repository size, wide support in IDEs ,repositories can be hosted via HTTP, HTTPS SSH, rsync, and the native git protocol , advanced hook support hooks can be in any language.

Maybe PCSX2 devs are not experienced yet with merging requests ?  Besides its separate issue it doesnt mean Zeromus cant merge requests for Desmume but I agree Hrydgard is good project leader and PPSSPP made rapid progres compared to most other emulators.

Desmume needs more  developers/contributors few guys can do so much.In my opinion best option would be switching to Git on Sourceforge and also setting official  Git mirror on Github. Not to mention merging something like Desmume X432R would be trivial in Git.

Then why did you not ? And are you still considering it in the near future ? Its not too late.

Full HD is nothing special nowadays and many people  have monitors with far higher resolutions like 4k.Even if you have sub-HD monitor you can choose lower resolution and separate Desmume screens anyway so there is  no reason to not implement higher resolution.

Author of Desmume X432R  has nothing to do with antialiasing. Bugs with antialiasing report to Zeromus. But combination of higher resolution and Antialiasing can probably create new bugs .

Unfortunately its not working  read big red letters.

I think I found contact info with author : http://translate.google.com/translate?h … 26num%3D30

By development stopping you mean until  upresing feature will be mature or until author will stop creating new builds ?.
