iDeaS: How is it good?

gnrathon · March 13th, 2008

When i use iDeaS i just get really crappy sound, very slow speeds, and low game compatibility. However [not to offend], I get much better everything w/ no$gba 2.6a.

I don't wanna blame the emulator itself.
My Specs are:
ATI Radeaon Xpress 1100
512 mB RAM
37 gB Hard Drive
3.07 gHz CPU, Intel Celenron D
Windows XP Home Edition SP2

Is there anything i need to add to iDeaS, like plugins, to get the great quality everyone says it has?

PS. I'm using the iDeaS verson 1.0.2.2.
I really wanna try iDeaS at its full potential!

Celeron D processors are very slow in modern terms, so your result is to be expected with the current iDeaS. DS emulators need quite a fast CPU at this stage. No$GBA has extensive optimisations, so runs faster right now.

my core 2 duo can run iDeas smoothly

don't talk trash about his emulator, Lino works very hard on it. and if you did not want to offend you should have not posted this because there is no point in this thread.

I just wanna know how to make the emulator work for my system and get the results that everyone else got.
Its a great emulator no doubt about it!!!

How does it work for you?
What are your specs?

Tyo · March 13th, 2008

Runs pretty good for me... those Celeron D's sure are junk...

**Kellicros** · March 13th, 2008

Guys, please stop reporting whenever someone complains about an emulator not working nicely on him, it isn't against the rules and he isn't insulting it.

Put the competition aside and we have tons of posts like this in the PCSX2 section, don't take things too hardly.

**3x3cUt0r** · March 13th, 2008

I ignored that report too.

**NHervé** · March 13th, 2008

If you want to improve iDeaS, you can download the DsPad plugin to play with your joystick. It's open-source and it's for Windows and Linux. It uses SDL.

Please NHerve help me.

Well, i have a core2duo laptop and advance war dOR plays very slowly, how should i tweak the emu?

knightsmanx · April 14th, 2008

umm, probably not the best place to be asking this question for one, and i believe a video card helps more then onboard, so unless you bought your laptop with a vid card in it and arent struggling with the onboard, it wont get too good. as well as laptops running at lower speeds almost all the time unless you set it to the highest speeds, and besides, the laptop cpu's are worse then the desktop's cpu's in general. because personally, on my lappy with a 1.8 intel core2, it runs worse then my p4 desktop.. so yea

jvhellraiser · April 14th, 2008

Thats a good question!!! I don't no for it still has to work it could be better but is not!

**refraction** · April 16th, 2008

while onboard graphics probably dont help, as with most emulators, the major factor is having a quick CPU. The Celeron D is taking the brunt from 2 directions. For one its based on pentium 4 which was quite a slow architecture, then it has very limited cache memory which can be useful for preparing data for the emu's execution.

all in all he would have been better off with a pentium 3 ;p

knightsmanx · April 17th, 2008

ooooooooooooo

that was great ref... lol

keypox · April 19th, 2008

How is it good? Its still being devolved thats how it is good. Also the author is on this forum all the time thats even better.

It isnt as good as no$ but it may surpass it soon enough. Also you gotta watch our around here there are alot of winny babies.

**Lino** · April 19th, 2008
