Mooney Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 With the release of iDeaS v1.0.1.3 (v1.0.1.4, v1.0.1.5, v1.0.1.6, v1.0.1.7a, v1.0.1.8a, v1.0.1.9 beta) that included support for commercial ROMs, I thought it might be helpful to come up with a compatibility list. Fully working games will be shown in green, partially working games will be shown in yellow, and games that do not work at all will be shown in red. Feel free to submit your own test results! UPDATE: With the release of iDeaS's audio plugin aud.dll (latest: v1.0.0.5), some games now have working sound! Download the emulator and all the latest plugins here: http://www.mdx.it/ideas/Alternate: http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/nds/ideas.html Unofficial iDeaS Compatibility List Notes: All games USA unless noted otherwise. All games tested with CPU speed set to Normal unless noted otherwise. All versions of iDeaS after v1.0.1.9 have aud.dll v1.0.0.5 already included. You will have to download and install the AviCapture.dll and wifi.dll plugins yourself. Save Type: (E4)= EEPROM 4kbit, (E64)= EEPROM 64kbit, (E512)= EEPROM 512kbits, (F2)= FLASH 2mbit, (F4)= FLASH 4mbit, (Auto)= iDeaS chooses the save type iDeaS v1.0.1.7 + aud.dll v1.0.0.2- Pokemon Diamond (Auto) - Works at a full 60 fps with sprites!
