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.

Nice, guess there’s a fix in the pipeline. Glad you found a solution. Lmk if it works, have a good one

Nothing right now I’m afraid. I will grab my 8bitdo later and test with an android tablet, see if I can recreate and figure out the issue. Expect a response in the next 6-8 hours, I’m afraid I gotta sleep, sorry.

Well, on android you have two sections of settings unfortunately.

The cog in the bottom right, and also the core options menu that you need to load a rom and hit the menu shortcut, probably L+R+start+select together on your controller, or the space invader symbol on the touchscreen overlay.

You can then go to core options > screen > touch mode which should be auto.

If youre finding things aren’t as they should be, reset the app to fresh install settings using the inbuilt function or the android app (clear cache and data feature) under your app management and see if that solves the issue.

It may be a carry over from upgrading from such an old version, so a fresh start may serve you better.

Have you run all the updates under the online updater again?

Specifically controller profiles but preferably all of them, one at a time?

It’s probably an issue with a default remap profile.

As you’re wanting to use a controller with a touchscreen device at the same time, you may need to tinker.

What controller are you using specifically?

Possibly a silly question, any chance there’s a second showtools entry in your config file that’s not # out?

Ok, download the APK directly from the RA site, you’re significantly out of date on 1.9, and are missing features. Not sure why the play version are outdated so much tbh but issue for another day.

That’s odd. Have you run the update core info files, assets, database, etc in the online update of RA? Are you running latest stable RA(1.19.1)?

After some quick testing in RA you will want to use the MelonDS core, specifically titled (MelonDS DS), as opposed to (MelonDS), or (NooDS), both explicitly have a DSi emulation mode in the core options, accessible after loading a rom. My apologies, either I misremembered desmume having the feature or it’s been removed/hidden.

What devices are you trying to run it on our of interest?

Are you tunning the emulator directly or running it through something like retroarch?

I’ve noticed RA has some settings missing on certain emulators, and lower end or older hardware can see a performance drop in comparison between the two options.

Apologies that I can’t provide a more direct and useful answer.

I am reasonably certain DeSmuME allows you to, or perhaps even automatically enables the higher clock speeds you are looking for. On which host platforms this may be the case other than desktop, I do not know. YMMV.
