Action RPGs are my go to games for this. Some good choices are most of the Kingdom Hearts games and most of the Castlevania games from SOTN onward (including Curse of Darkness and Lament of Innocence). I also like Dissidia and Dissidia Duodecim (012) but I do know that not everyone liked these two games. There are also some more obscure games that might be worth checking out, like The 3rd birthday and Alien Syndrome which are both on the PSP.

“Musou” games (often listed as either ARPGs or beat-em-ups) are also pretty good for this as well. Games like Warriors Orochi and at least most of Dynasty Warriors made after the first (the first game was a fighting game) are good choices. I’m not too familiar with other musou games but I did like Mystic Heroes, which I’ve played the GameCube version of but there is a PS2 version as well.

I’m not familiar with Eee PCs but I’m assuming you’d want something lightweight. Q4OS has a 32-bit version available.

I don’t know how much of a problem it is nowadays, but I know for a very long time, “westerners” for some reason have a tendency to view anime in a similar way to how racist karens react when they have to walk past an innocent black person while walking at the park. I’ve never understood it but most of the people who don’t like anime, usually act like it’s somehow a threat to society and do everything they can to either slander it or just straight up try to get it banned. It’s insane and until people like this stop existing, anime will never be properly excepted.

I’m not very familiar with SCPs, are there any that are basically just tentacle hentai monsters?

I decided to try something. Seeing that just playing the games isn’t really that good of a way to test it, I thought I could try running some homebrew that could either test the cpu or just tell me info about it. So far the closest I’ve gotten is to use DSLinux and run cat /proc/cpuinfo to get some info about the CPU. The only problem with this is that, the only thing I have to go of is the “bogomips” which is not a very good way to measure CPU speed. But for what it’s worth, while it doesn’t work in every emulator, I’ve noticed that some emulators are showing about 16 bogomips and others are showing about 33.

While bogomips is not a very accurate way to measure CPU speed, I think it would still be helpful in this particular situation. I can’t test DSLinux on my DS because either my flash card or my DS itself aren’t working properly, but I think it’s probably safe to assume that the ones showing 33 bogomips are probably running at DSi clock speeds. I want to test it on more emulators but it’s getting late for me, so I’ll have to do that tomorrow.

I’m not sure about HG/SS or WolveSlayer but all four of the gen 5 Pokemon games are DSi enhanced so they get a performance boost even without a modded DSi. I’d try other games but if the emulator is lagging on everything I have then I don’t know if I’d be able to. I know other emulators, like DraStic, actually run significantly better, even on older devices, but I don’t know if they automatically use the DSi’s clock speed or at least have the option to.

I have tried it more and I can’t really tell if setting the console mode to DSi actually causes the games to perform better. The only game that I know of that has noticeable performance issues on real hardware is Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars but I can’t really test it because the emulator lags during situations where the game would lag on real hardware. The only thing I have to go off of right now, is that the emulator seems to lag slightly more when the console mode is set to DSi but that could just be caused by differences in firmware.

Ok, I’ve looked into it a bit more and I found this issue on github. It seems the issue has been present since at least 1.17 stable and while it has been fixed in nightly, the issue still exists in the latest stable version because it seems like it was fixed about 5 days after the stable version was released.

I have downloaded the nightly version and I am able to use both a controller and the touchscreen together. I haven’t tested the DSi emulation yet though, I’ll have to do that later because I’m about to go to bed.

I have cleared the cache and data from the app manager, re-updated everything in the online updater section and I have checked to make sure that the touch mode setting was set to auto but it’s still not working. I will continue checking every section unless you have something I can try.

I did go through and update everything but the issue is still present. The controller I’m using is an 8BitDo SF30 Pro.

I’m currently checking every section of the settings because I couldn’t find the option in the inputs section and I have no idea where else it could be.

Ok, I’ve downloaded the newest version and the MelonDS DS core is listed but I’m having a new issue. As soon as RetroArch intercepts my controller, it stops excepting input from the touch screen which makes a lot of games unplayable. This was not an issue with the previous version I was using and I’m not seeing an option to change it back, any ideas on how to fix this.

I just updated the core info files but it’s still not listed. I’m using both of the versions available on the Google Play Store and they both say that they are version 1.9.12.

I looked for that core earlier and couldn’t find it, does that core have to downloaded separately? The only cores that appear for me are the MelonDS and DeSmuME cores.

Because when I play games, I like to be able to get the best possible experience. For DS games, it’s having them run using the better hardware that the DSi has. I also do something similar for PSP games, where I have PPSSPP’s emulated CPU running at 333 MHz because you can mod PSPs to allow all games to use that clock speed instead of just the games that supported that clock speed.

The two main devices I’m trying it on are, a Dell Latitude E7470 and a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE. On my computer, I’m running the native Linux version from Flathub. On my tablet, I am running the retroarch version because I don’t think there is a native android version available (at least officially).

If DeSmuME is the only emulator that does this, I’ll have to try it again later. I’m not seeing an option for it and I’m unable to tell if it does it automatically because the emulator is lagging on every device I own.

I’m not sure why you would be confused by my post but I’m basically looking for an emulator that can mimic what it’s like to run DS games through Twilight Menu. The DSi’s main CPU was about twice as fast and given that the DS didn’t have a GPU, that means a lot of the games that aren’t DSi enhanced can perform significantly better on a DSi. I think the most well know example I can give is Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars, as it constantly has performance issue during normal gameplay.

It’s a good thing it is now. Back when I checked it, for some reason, most of the websites listed were nothing like Reddit/Lemmy.

I started using Lemmy because, after a previous Reddit blackout a few years, the CEO of Reddit (Steve Huffman, AKA Spez) released a statement that (while I’ve long sense forgotten exactly what he said) made it seem like he was disappointed in the Reddit community for not supporting pedophilia. I used alternativeto.net to find Reddit alternatives and, because Lemmy wasn’t at the top of the list at the time, I used a few other websites before using Lemmy. At first I used both simultaneously but I deleted my Reddit account after the API changes.

Ok, then either things have changed or I was lied to for the past several years because this is the first time anyone has told me that slow charging was fine.
