subject: DSTWO GBA emulator Reviews and Use Guide [print this page] The DSTWO GBA card comes out as we expected,after a test of this plug-in.We are very satisfied with the result.According to the SD team that the GBA plug-in is being improved,specially to the compatibility.
Now let's go to the interface,see the picture as below,
GBA emulator interface is pretty nice,and it support two languages currently(Chinese andEnglish).Lately,SD team may add more languages .You can change the language by using the button"others".More,this GBA emulator supports real time save state and in the button"Tools",there is an
option for game screenshot by using customized button.
For other buttons,
"NEW",which means choosing new game. "RESART",means back to the selected game. "RETURN",refer to back to the game that you are playing.
In the button"Video/Audio",player can set up the game frame,it is default as level 2.But player canchange the frame to level 1, which may speed up the game operation.
In the button"Other",there is an option"CPU frequence",according to SD team explanation,we take it as "CPU Overclock",this is effectively increase the speed when the game runnig in GBA emulator.But it does not work on all the games.For example,"Golden Sun DS" is not as good as other games during testing.There are four level,0 to 4 .Here,the test GBA emulator plugin ,"0 means the highest level,4 refers to the lowest level.However,the official released verison,"4 means the highest level,"0 refers to the lowest level.
There is one thing that we need to pay attention that any change in the above mentioned function"Tools" or "Others" does no save automatically.Player need to make setting every time when change games.
