I have a Mac with Mountain Lion and I downloaded the version that is compatible with My mac, some games such as "Scribblenauts", "pokemon diamond/pearl/platinum" and "Final Fantasy Ring of fates" but almost all other games don't work and come up with a blank white screen when the Rom is loaded, this includes games like "Pokemon HG/SS and B/W". I have tried playing with all of the settings but nothing seems to work.
How do I fix this?

While you may have a Mac version of DeSmuME, the question is: Do you have the latest Mac version of DeSmuME? The latest version for Mac is v0.9.8b. I can definitely confirm that all of the games you just listed do indeed work in v0.9.8b on Mountain Lion.

Yes I do have that version, The version available at the top of the home page, it still doesn't work

It seems like after you load the ROM, the emulation doesn't run. After you load a ROM, choose Emulation-->Execute.
You can also automatically set the emulation to run upon loading in your user preferences. To do this:
1. Choose DeSmuME-->Preferences
2. In the DeSmuME Preferences window, click General in the top bar if it isn't already selected.
3. Under ROM Behavior, check Automatically Execute Emulation When Loading a ROM.

my emulation menu doesn't have an excecute option and I checked the preferences, but that box was already ticked.

Do you have Advanced Bus-Level Timing enabled? This setting can help improve ROM compatibility.

yes I do

Are you using external firmware? If you are, try disabling it.

I'm not using any firmware, would the type of Mac matter at all?

Sure, what's your Mac model identifier?
Also, what ROMs actually do work for you?

its a Macbook Pro the new one and so far, pokemon pearl, diamond and platinum, final fantasy ring of fates and scribblenauts work

I need your Mac model identifier. You can find it by using the System Information app in your Application/Utilities folder.
Also, for ROMs that don't work, what exactly "doesn't work"?

I load it and it just comes up with a white screen and on the status bar it says ROM loaded. It's a macbook pro 9,1

This seems like a ROM issue. Pokemon ROMs are notorious for having random patches and cracks that may interfere with DeSmuME's operation. You'll need to find a different a version of these ROMs and try again.

ok, thanks it also doesnt work with Zelda Phantom Hourglass

Zelda:PH was also a game that was tested for v0.9.8b Mac. In fact, I'm playing it right now as I type this. That ROM definitely works too.
It could also be something wrong with your OS X installation itself. You may want to try doing a clean OS X install and try again.

just tried that and it still doesn't work

You need new ROMs. Your non-working ROMs must be corrupted, which is why they aren't working.

I've already downloaded each file several times in an attempt to get one that works, I'll get my brother to download them and see if they work
