Provide more information. What version of DeSmuME? What are your computer specs? What happens before the game crashes?

I find that depending on the rom, desmume's chances of crashing change. If you want to prevent mid-play crashing, you should do these steps.

1.Open DeSmuME but give it a few seconds before opening a rom.
2.Have DeSmuME open the chosen rom but do not immediately run it.
3.Take 10-15 seconds to scroll through the DeSmuMe menu. I find that if DeSmuME will crash early, it will do so in the menu after a little while.
4.If it does crash, keep trying.

Take note that this is just to increase the likelihood of running the rom successfully without crashing. I've had times of a crashing streak at 8. But when i use this strategy, i don't have to waste time playing a game that will eventually crash, and i have a better shot at playing it without any problems. Then again it could be your computer specs, if they simply aren't good enough than you're going to have to pay a visit to new egg or give up.
