New version of No$GBA, the GBA/NDS emulator. Keep 'em coming ;). Here's the full list of changes in v2.5:

    * help: updated gbatek standalone version 2.5 (about one hundred news since 2.3)
    * vram viewer: supports extended palettes in bg map windows (eg. magnetica demo)
    * nds/help: added ds 3d overview chapter (basics on geometry/rendering engines)
    * nds/help: added ds technical data chapter (containing some basic overview)
    * nds/help: replaced ds various chapter by new ds memory control/timing chapter
    * nds/sound: fixed major unreported bug in 80x86 code sound_bias SWI function
    * nds/3d/help: corrected shininess formula (ie. fixed that max cos 2 angle mess)
    * nds/3d/help: added caution: specular reflection WON'T WORK on camera rotation
    * nds/3d/help: maths basics of vector-by-vector multiply (and purposes thereof)
    * nds/3d/softlight: allows light+color nonsense double def (eg castlevania clip)
    * nds/3d/softlight: much better light-accuracy, and now supports shininess_table
    * nds/3d/softlight: lighting fully calculated by software (without opengl light)
    * nds/timing: split timings for nds7 (fast access) and trashy nds9 (slow access)
    * nds/timing: split addr_clks_table to CODE/DATA addr_clkc_table/addr_clkd_table
    * nds/timing: emulates "half" cycles on 66MHz/nds9 (tcm/cache and n32/2 thumb)
    * nds/timing: emulates nds7 exmemstat gba-slot timing bits (like nds9 exmemcnt)
    * nds/timing/help: added detailed/tested nds7/nds9 code/data memory-timing chart
    * nds/timing/cache: allows more CPU load on bios/mainram when cache is enabled
    * nds/timing: emulates shared N32 access time for two NDS9 thumb 16bit opcodes
    * cpu/speedup: precalculates opcode-timings on interseg-jumps (usually faster)
    * cpu/speedup: faster conditional opcode handling (maybe yet another 3% faster)
    * cpu/speedup: thumb: uses 16bit reads (3% faster on non-32bit-aligned addr's)
    * cpu/speedup: replaced dumb jmp exec_opcode by exec_opcode_mac (ca. 10% faster)
    * cpu/speedup: added more code alignments in cpu-core (not significantly faster)
    * nds/help: added note that 66MHz-nds9 actually runs MUCH SLOWER than 33MHz-nds7
    * nds/cpu: emulates superslow nds9 memory access time (bios,wram,vram,oam,etc)
    * nds/cpu: emulates operand-independend ARM9 multiply time (eg. slow thumb time)
    * nds/wram: emulates wramcnt mapping (no idea if it's used by any games though)
    * nds/3d: adjusted z-rounding (avoid opengl-clip-plane in club house games demo)
    * cpu: emulates cp15-trace-id, debug: disass auto-comments on trace-id and bist
    * nds/help: fixed key1 [scratch] writeback lsw/msw are exchanged (thanks simon)
    * nds/help: cp15 info on trace-id, bist, cache debug/test, supported cache cmds
    * cheat: fixed occassional crash on delete cheat (push/pop) (thanks Hiei Youkai)
    * thanks: rockmanrotties for submarine (timing) and clubhouse (clip) bugreports-

Thanks for posting this. I've replaced your link with an official one.

does make 3d game go a little faster

thats what i would like to know

From reports I have heard, generally 2D is faster, 3D slower but many people have also said they have experienced the opposite of that. It depends on your setup essentially.

Well if 3d is slow and 2d is fast how do you explain D/P coz tehy ahve 2d and 3d surroundings

run it and find out ;D

Already have lol

hey! friend..
i think no$gba is not very good, because haven't tombol to increase speed. thank's

What does tombol mean?

maybe the word "tombol" he/she meant was a button so I think he/she means that it doesn't have any button to increase the speed. like if U R playing with VBA, when U hold down spacebar, it will go very fast like fast-forwarded.
I think that what he/she meant.
*It's Indonesian or maybe malaysian word*

If he's asking for a frame skip, emulation isn't far enough to warrant something like that to be introduced at the same level as VBA :) Thanks for that though, Newby.

how can i configure no$gba 2.5??? plss help me people...
