DESMUME running slow as fuck on Windows 10

Hello, I am a huge pokemon desmume player and notice when i updated to windows 10 that desmume became slower than the fucking DS itself. The games still run, but they are seriously, seriously slow.

Any ideas on what to update graphics or whatever to speed the games up to normal? There has to be at least some Desmume users who have updated to Windows 10 and run games at light speed.

Oh yeah, Windows 8 ran desmume just fine and dandy.  So it's something about windows 10 i need to do.

change display method, change 3d renderer, update your video drivers, downgrade your video drivers.

Re: DESMUME running slow as fuck on Windows 10

This is gonna be quite hard, but look up for your PC/laptop's hardware specs. Download a program like Speccy to know details about your computer. And then search the Internet for the drivers for it. GPU/video card drivers give significant performance boost once installed, so prioritize downloading and installing it.

Config -> Display Method has the submenu for that. DirectDraw HW with Vsync ON is what I'd go with.

Config -> 3D Settings -> Renderer either Soft Rasterizer or OpenGL.

My guess would be that when you updated to Win10 it installed some default "Standard Display Adapter" instead a driver for whatever Nvidia, AMD, or Intel GPU your device has. Post more info about your hardware if you need help figuring that out or go to whichever website and grab the latest driver.

Re: DESMUME running slow as fuck on Windows 10

1.6GHz is pretty low, so chances are your computer can't really run it.

Re: DESMUME running slow as fuck on Windows 10

A similar thing's happening to me. My PC's more than powerful enough to run it. (32GB RAM, AMD FX-8350 4.01GHz, AMD HD 7970 Matrix Platinum Edition) and it was running fine before (on Windows 10) but recently it's slowed right down and I don't know why. I've tried searching through everything to see if some program's been installed without me knowing, but nope.

Re: DESMUME running slow as fuck on Windows 10

Hi, everyone!
I've decided to ignore Pokemon GO as my current smartphone runs it glitchy & very slow. Played almost every PKMN game, now playing PKMN White 2 DSi on DesMuMe... It was pretty slow. As Android with 512 RAM...
My PC isn't top notch: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, AMD A6-3620, 8 GB RAM DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24), Acer Aspire X1470, 512MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 6530D.

I tried to speed up the game, read somewhere about 'dynamic recompiler', which was turned off in settings by default. Turned it on - voila - game began to run smoothly. But 1 problem occured. I use cheat database for PKMN White 2 DSi, and there was one simple AR battle code 'No random encounters, hold R for instant encounter'. With 'dynamic recompiler' turned on (as I've been warned in description below 'Emulation Settings > Use dynamic recompiler'), this code stopped working. After several tries I've come to a solution. Above 'dynamic recompiler' the option 'Enable Advanced Bus-Level Timing' was on, also by default. After turning it off, game continued to work fast & smooth, but the code began working!

Hope this info helps anyone concerned!

I tried those exact things but it is still slow as F**k on my laptop. I know its not the best but i play the sims 3 and 4 on it without any problems and also dragonage so i was wondering if there are any other settings that might to be changed so that it works properly?

Re: DESMUME running slow as fuck on Windows 10

then try other exact things listed in the thread besides those you quoted, change your OS power options to high performance, make sure it's using the discrete GPU if you have discrete+integrated, and blow the dust out of your fans.

Re: DESMUME running slow as fuck on Windows 10

BIG NEWS FOR UNDERPOWERED PC USERS!
Just discovered that the desmume retroarch core IS EXTREMELY OPTIMIZED and RUNS AT 100% speed WITHOUT frameskip or any of that stuff on this underpowered LAPTOP, on windows 10.
This is NOT a joke or something, it's a dumb thing I tried with GREAT result.

Re: DESMUME running slow as fuck on Windows 10

Hi everyone. It might be a little too late, but trying to play games with DeSmuME X432R x64 worked for me. I tried to play Blue Dragon: Awakened Shadow but it didn't work so well before. Now, it works for me perfectly, I am surprised. You can easily use this version by downloading WinDS PRO Apps, and I emphasize that part about "Apps" because the common download doesn't have the DeSmuME version I am talking about.

To make it easier, here's the link: (url snipped)

Go have fun. Try it, I might be wrong because it can't work on all computers.
Have a nice day.

Re: DESMUME running slow as fuck on Windows 10

Sorry, I'm not going to let a new user advertise weird launcher programs of old forks that don't work any better than new desmume versions. Follow his advice at your own risk.
