Comment 7 for bug 144389

For those worried about serious regressions in functionality, it's good to keep in mind that console emulators aren't perfect, especially for a platform as recent as the Nintendo DS. This is probably why there are no bug reports on it in LP -- users have low expectations for what is essentially software in progress. The new version will likely be an overall improvement with a few regressions, but the state of upstream changes to desmune isn't something where upstream is concerned so much about regressions as putting in basic required functionality like emulating the 3d chipset the system has.

I've noticed improvements over what's in feisty, but it's a gargantuan task to keep a list of what works and what doesn't in a given emulator, let alone which version, to say nothing of listing whether there's more fixes than regressions. The nature of fixing emulators is that sometimes fixing a bug exhibited by one test will cause a previously barely passing test to fail. I've noticed a few reports in the desmume forums of commercial games regressions, but the majority of such commercial games already don't play, as do a few homebrew games I tested with (on both versions, noizds failed to run).

This software is very much a work in progress, and I think the recent releases reflect on that.
