Alright, I'm obviously to much of a noob and incompotent to be able to do the hacking I want to do on my own.

Would anybody be willing to take my save file and alter it for what I need, please?

Honestly, all I want is max cash and a lv 10 Piplup, Chimchar, and Torchic in my box 2.

If anyone is willing to help me out, please let me know and I'll try to email you my save file.

Thanks

Check the following things:

1) You're using the latest version of No$GBA.
2) You've extracted the ROM from any sort of archive (zip,rar etc)

If you're using Windows XP or greater you can right click on the shortcut/executable --> properties menu --> Compatibility Tab --> Tick "Run in 640x480 screen resolution" --> Hit OK.

You dont need to patch the rom if you're using the new version.

Just redownload the rom and play it unpatched on it.

They don't need to be run. Just keep them in the No$GBA folder.

Do Not Use the Computer in the Snowpoint City Pokemon Center!

It WILL crash, causing your screen to turn black, & ALL controls to stop functioning!

You have been warned

I've got a 128 MB video card and 512 MB RAM, and the emulator still runs as poor as hell. Even with optimal settings, too.

I noticed that there was a tip on the first page "Get a better computer," but I really don't think that will do much. If I can run full-screen WoW, then I should be able to run a small, windowed DS.

I'll wait for a newer version to come out, but I'm just giving the guys who care a heads-up about PC specs.

You got to remember that games designed for PC are actually designed and optimized for use on the x86/x64 architecture. When working with emulators you actually have to emulate the two cores (in the case of the DS) and that code written for emulation would have to be reverse-engineered. That code also would not be optimized for speed, more for compatibility.

In the case No$GBA and probably other Nintendo DS emulators, the biggest bottleneck is in the CPU not the GPU or RAM. That's why assigning it a higher process priority gives significant speed increases for most users.

Has anyone found out the reccomended specs for the DS emulator, then? I can see how all of the different emulators and ROMs will produce different effects, but perhaps a standard can be set if PC specs are an issue.

I see nothing about PC specs. Optimal settings for the program are different from your computer hardware. I looked it over and I see nothing.

Guide updated. Anything missing from here/links not working? BTW: Could someone rewrite be (16) to be clearer?

EDIT: I've rewritten the original instructions into something clearer. And it has been confirmed that the loading fix works.
