There is a mod for the DSi/3DS called “Twilight Menu” and it allows DS games to use the DSi’s better clock speeds. Given that overclocking is a common feature for emulators, I was wondering if there were any DS emulators with this feature. I have seen discussions on other websites about this topic and how it would be possible but none of the emulators are listed as having an overclocking feature. All of the documentation and discussions about this seem to be at least a few years old and I know a lot can happen in a few years.
Nice, guess there’s a fix in the pipeline. Glad you found a solution. Lmk if it works, have a good one
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.
Interesting. I’ve noticed a performance boost in pkmn HG/SS & B&W2 from my own testing, and I ran a homebrew game called WolveSlayer, which definitely improved too.
