NESDS sucks

[Hatta]

I put NESDS on my DS last night, good god it's awful. I guess the emulation is alright, but the interface is entirely controlled with the touchscreen, and the touchscreen simply does not work. I can't save or load states, or even change the display settings. There isn't even an .ini file where I can manually set the settings. What a half assed piece of crap.

What's the best option for NES emulation on the DS? I hear NesterDS is pretty slow. PocketNES for the GBA is still under development though, how well does it run on the DS?

Does your touchscreen suck or something? I can usually navigate with my fingers decent -- even better with the stylus. Save states worked for me too.

[Hatta]

No, I've been playing Bust-a-move DS with good results. It calibrates fine.

I can sometimes get menu options in NesDS to highlight, if I drag the stylus around. But the stylus is always offset from the option that's highlighted, and I can never get the option to actually activate.

Try a different version.

I'm with Niode, sounds like a outdated version. The new ones are much better.

I haven't found a decent emulator of anything on the DS. Every time someone says this one runs perfect, I try it, and notice tons of problems.

[chupon]

I've been running NESDS for almost a year now with no problems except my own dumbass user errors. What in particular is not working? Maybe try a re-install?

[Hatta]

Blah, it was my screen protector. Peeled it off, and the touchscreen still sucks, but it's functional. Still doesn't make sense when everything else works with the screen protector. But anyways, yay.

[Anapan]

I was about to agree with you Hatta, but I have a thick screeen protector too. Still, almost all the other games are working smoothly and without problems. If we're talking about the same emulator, the thing I really don't like is the scaling interface. it always messes me up and I can never scale it exactly the way I want. it's just messy to work with.
'course I shouldn't complain. The emulation is great, and I'm not in the position to make a better emulator...

[Dylan]

I'd more put the emulation at adequate.
