Before you begin,make sure that your Mac meets the listed system requirements. If your Mac meets only the minimum requirements, then you should expect to runmost simple 2D-only games with some frameskip, but you will be unable to runcomplex 2D games or any 3D-heavy games. However, if your Mac meets therecommended requirements, then you should expect to run almost every game,including very complex 3D-heavy games, with minimal to no frameskip. Operating System: OS X v10.5 (Leopard) or later CPU: Can run on any PowerPC G4, G5, or Intel processor 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (minimum) 3.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster (recommended) RAM: 512 MB (minimum) 2 GB (recommended) 2) Quick Start Guide for Using DeSmuME for OS X _______________________________ Installing DeSmuME is as easy as copying DeSmuME.app to your Applicationsfolder (or other folder of your choice). Double-click the app to start DeSmuME. Note that DeSmuME for OS X may have a different feature set than DeSmuME forWindows and DeSmuME for Linux. As of this writing, some features that arepresent in DeSmuME for Windows are not present in DeSmuME for OS X. The rest of this section will be a guide to help you quickly get started usingDeSmuME for OS X. Loading a ROM and Starting the Emulator:Simply double-click the desired ROM from the Finder to play the game. Bydefault, DeSmuME will load the ROM and start emulation. Also, there areadditional ROM loading options that you can change in DeSmuME > Preferences ifyou need them. Using the DS Controller:Each DS controller button can be mapped to a button of your choice on yourkeyboard, gamepad, or joystick. You can view the mappings by clicking on Inputin DeSmuME > Preferences, and then clicking the Controller tab on the Inputpage. To change a mapping, click on the DS control that you want to change,then press the button on your input device to map it. By default, the DS controller is mapped to the following keys on your keyboard: Up - Up Arrow Down - Down Arrow Left - Left Arrow Right - Right Arrow A Button - X B Button - Z X Button - S Y Button - A L Trigger - Q R Trigger - W Start - Return Select - Tab Lid - Delete (Backspace) Debug - \ Microphone - ` Using the DS Touch Pad:Touch pad input is emulated using the left mouse button. Simply click in thetouch pad area of the DS display window to use the DS touch pad. Rotating the DS Display:Some games require that the DS display be at a certain rotation in order tolook correct. Rotation options can be found by choosingView > Display Rotation. You can also use the toolbar buttons Rotate Left andRotate Right to rotate the display by 90 degrees counterclockwise or clockwise,respectively. Freezing and Restoring the Emulation State:Save states are a powerful feature that allows you to freeze the emulationstate and restore it later. However, note that save states are only atemporary means of saving -- more permanent saves must be done using thein-game save (or ROM save). - To freeze the emulation state, choose File > Save State File.- To restore the emulation state, choose File > Open State File. You can also freeze/restore emulation states without having to manage theOpen/Save dialogs. There are ten available save state "slots" that you canuse to quickly freeze/restore the emulation state. - To quick freeze the emulation state, choose File > Save State Slot > Slot #. The default hotkey for this is (Shift-#).- To quick restore the emulation state, choose File > Load State Slot > Slot #. The default hotkey for this is (#). 3) Additional Documentation ___________________________________________________ The quick start guide in this Read Me is by no means a complete reference toeverything that DeSmuME can do!

Do note that some of the information may be platformspecific, and may not directly apply to the OS X version of DeSmuME. * DeSmuME Manual for OS X:http://wiki.desmume.org/index.php?title=DeSmuME_Manual_for_the_Macintosh_port This page contains complete and detailed information about how to operateDeSmuME for OS X. * DeSmuME Build Instructions for OS X:http://wiki.desmume.org/index.php?title=Installing_DeSmuME_from_source_on_OS_X This page contains complete and detailed instructions about how to make yourown build of DeSmuME for OS X directly from the source code. 4) Contact Information ________________________________________________________ Thank you for you interest in DeSmuME! If you want to tell us how usefulDeSmuME is in your life, your love (or hate) of certain NDS games, your passionfor NDS homebrew development, or anything else related to DeSmuME or NDSemulation, then there are various ways for you to contact us! However, keep in mind that there are a few of rules that you need to follow:- Do not ask us to provide ROMs, BIOS files, or any other copyrighted stuff. We don't want to have to deal with any legal issues that could get us in trouble, or worse, completely shut down. - When contacting us, please use the appropriate means to do it. For example, if you simply want to tell us how much you love or hate us, then use the comments on the official webpage. Another example: If you want to post on the forum, be sure to keep the topic focused on DeSmuME; questions that ask for things like us providing you the latest Pokemon cheats are not DeSmuME related, and we will instead refer you to a Pokemon cheaters forum. Finally, our developer chat channel is intended for furthering the development work of DeSmuME; questions about how to use DeSmuME should not come here, but instead go to the Support forum. In short, use the appropriate contact method. That's why the different methods exist! * Official Website: http://desmume.org Our official website has the latest news on DeSmuME releases, and also has alot of other useful information about DeSmuME. You can comment on differentposts telling us how you feel about DeSmuME. Is DeSmuME the best thing in yourlife? Is it making you cry? Or is it a bunch of blah? Let us know here! * Public Forum: http://forum.desmume.org If you have a question about DeSmuME, then this is the place to ask it. Butbefore you ask it, be aware that your question may have already beenanswered before, so try the following things first: - Read the manual and the FAQ. A lot of questions people have are usually already answered in our documentation.- Do a forum search about your question. If you still need to ask a question, then be sure to provide us the followinginformation: - DeSmuME app version- Your operating system and OS version- The name of the ROM (if a ROM is involved)- The serial code of the ROM (if a ROM is involved) The app version can be found by choosing DeSmuME > About DeSmuME in the DeSmuMEapp. Alternatively, you can select the DeSmuME app in the Finder and chooseFile > Get Info. You can find your operating system and OS version by choosing About This Mac inthe Apple menu. The ROM name and serial can be found by choosing File > ROM Info in the DeSmuMEapplication. It is very important that you provide us with this information! If you don't,then it will take much longer for us to respond to your question. * Live Developer Chat Channel: irc://irc.freenode.net/desmume We have a live developer chatline on Freenode IRC at #desmume. This channelis meant for discussing the development of DeSmuME, and shows the real workthat goes on behind the scenes. If you are interested in doing any sort ofsoftware programming, software testing, documentation, or graphics work, thenplease join our chat channel! We would love for you to join us! * Bug Reports: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=164579&atid=832291 If you believe that you have found a bug, you may submit a bug report bychoosing Help > Submit a Bug Report in the DeSmuME application, or byfollowing the above link. This will take you to our bug tracker on SourceForge.Do note that you will need a SourceForge account in order to submit a bugreport. Bug submissions are very welcome and encouraged. However, when you submit a bugto us, you MUST provide the following information, or else your bug submissionmay be rejected: - DeSmuME app version- Your operating system and OS version- Your Mac model identifier- The name of the running ROM when the bug was observed (or "None", if no ROM was running)- The serial code of the running ROM when the bug was observed (or "None", if no ROM was running)- A description of the exact behavior you observed- A description of the behavior you expected You can find your Mac model identifier in the System Profiler app. The app islocated in the Applications/Utilities folder. When you write your description, make sure that they are as detailed aspossible. The better your descriptions are, the faster we can test and fixbugs. For example, if you observed a bug in the game Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, then thebug report could look something like this: App Version: v0.9.8 Operating System: OS X v10.6.8 Mac Model Identifier: iMac 11,2 ROM Name: GOLDENSUN_DD ROM Serial: NTR-BO5E-USA Observed Behavior: I tried to load a save state using the File > Load State > Slot 3 menu option, but the game froze. If I reset, I can get the game working again. Expected Behavior: The game should continue running from the point where I made the save state. We will try to get your bug tested as soon as possible, but any fixes may takelonger, depending on the complexity of the bug. Also, some bugs may require usto ask you for certain files, such as your ROM saves, save states, or consolelogs. For the above example, we would probably ask you for your save states tohelp us track down the bug. 5) License ____________________________________________________________________ This file is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under theterms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free SoftwareFoundation, either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any laterversion.
