GoodNDS v0.0.2
- Thread starter Federelli
- Start date
What do we have here? Another emulator based on DeSmuME source. This is getting confusing - too much clones, too little new features. Dear programmers, how about putting your efforts together for one project? Use sourceforge, each one work on one part of emulator (2D, 3D, sound, wifi, etc.) and that will be the best emulator ever 
.

Ok, let's summarize:
1) It's violating the GPL license, the 0.0.2 version doesn't have the source released.
2) The size of the new executable (it's 4 times the original one), points that it's a debug build (way much slower) or else, that some useless or dangerous stuff has been added.
3) No exact changelog (and adding this to the 2 points above) just shows that the changes are either irrelevant, null, or dangerous.
So, guess if it's worth trying or not

Well, after looking at the sources (it's a normatt's desmume derived work, so it has to release it sources) nothing has been improved, the only change done is the name.
So it's a complete ripoff and the changes are a null. I can provide and unified diff for those that want, but the exact changes done are:
- Name change
- Execute on load
- A hack to the frameskip option that'll probably break any game you use it on.
- The change on savestates, is just the return type, that isn't even checked (so, useless change)
It's not like I don't encourage people to work on emulators derived from desmume, it's just that I can't stand people making false claims of what they did or not.
EDIT: For real changes, just look at my blog, that's improving desmume!

Well techinically DeSmuME cannot belong to any one person nor can it be claimed by just one person anymore either.
For one, it has been worked on by multiple coders and secondly, it is open source. I mean synch is (by the sounds of things) reworking quite a bit of the code as it was "crippled" and such, but I bet even after he is finished toying with it, there will still be Yopyop's code and some of Normmatt addons too....So there can't be any such "YOUR" claiming to it because it just ain't a one man project (even though that's technically untrue, depending on how you look at it), if we were to keep it on techinical terms here
For me, I seriously thought someone had started up a Goodrom List for NDS games =]
