Depends on the game......Earthworm Jim is running at about 95% speed.

That's nice. I really want to play Sonic 3(Best Sonic game ever(With Sonic & Knuckles)) again so this might be a good chance..

Unfortunately, that one didn't work for me...

It's one of the best games for the Genesis AKA Mega Drive where I come from!

Worked for me but seemed to have graphical issues.

What a great emulator! I really appreciate the personal time and effort you coders put into making these things and sharing them with us. It's a gift!

Ghouls and Ghosts - Works

Golden Axe 1, 2, and 3 - All working. GA3 is a little too slow to be fun though.

Vectorman - Works

Star Control - Works but missing the sidebar graphics, and too slow to be fun.

Judging from what I've read here and what I've tested, this emulator is already way ahead of SNES DS. Excellent compatibility! Sound and a little more speed would be nice, but even if we don't get it it's a great project.

Cheers!

Phantasy Star IV works well

I can't get saving to work, so I guess that it isn't implemented yet?
The text is also pretty bad when scaled, but you can still read it and hopefully that will be fixed. Overall I am very impressesd.

next release will have full NDS Screen resolution (192x168) instead of the minimized screen

so that would hopefully fix text issues

Make sure you get 1.1 (or later?). 1.0 didn't work for a lot of people (including me and my sister). With 1.1 both the SD & CF versions work quite well.

It's very cool, but not as good as a Nomad.
