not a lot of shash's work by the looks of it

and that drop-down menu bug is still there :p

Sweet!
Faster speed and sound.
Just add shash's 3D and its a lot better!

I don't think it means like speed up in emulation, I think it's more how the 2D is emualted, speed might not change but it might not take as much pc power to process :p?

Besides on my pc there's nothing to call "major" so I'm thinking it's something along the lines of what I said before. Either way :p a new update is always a good thing :p just wish that drop-down menu bug was fixed...

[Emu Asian]

Yeah, your probably right.
Still, it's good to see some improvements
Maybe shash will improve the 3D and 2D and help bring up speed. Might have to wait a while though

Some 2D games had a speed boost of over 40%, so it's quite massive optimization. Yoshi's Island for example, got that much speed up.

hmm so a particular type of 2D game then?

[synch]

Games that aren't limited by emulating the DS CPU will have a huge speed up, other will have minor speed ups, as the 2D engine is way faster now.

So by the looks of it, the desmume team are working on getting the 2d bit perfect first before adding your 3d stuff to it?

[synch]

I'm part of the desmume team from almost the beginning (of it being in sourceforge, I mean), so it's not like we're different teams. Simply, I didn't care to commit my latest 3D core, for several reason that I'll keep to myself. For example, I coded the rotated/scaled sprites in desmume, it's 3D core is mine, the 2D speed up is also mine, and some many more tiny fixes. I just don't work on GUI related stuff, as I don't care much about that, so that's the only exception.

Thinking it's two different teams is a common mistake which is far from real.
