It’s been a while since the DeSmuME dev team updated their famous Nintendo DS emulator for Windows, but now they’re back to release a feature-pack update DeSmuME that promises to “offer a big increase in lag reduction and more accurate emulation.”

 

Developer’s note:

 

Users of gtk, cli and gtk-glade frontends please note that now we have a common directory in ~/.config/desmume for config file,
saves and savestates. The old .desmume.ini will be moved automatically with the name config but you have to move your saves manually.

Some save files may be invalidated due to use of broken crc logic. Back up your DSV files before using this version of the emulator or else the game might wipe it.
