In layman's terms, pwede ka maglaro ng DS / GBA games sa PC mo.
SUPPORTED PLATFORMS: Windows, Macintosh, Linux
MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
- Windows: Windows XP SP2 or later.
- Mac: OS X v10.5.8 Leopard or later.
- Linux: Any recent Linux distribution with a 2.6 kernel.
- CPU: 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or equivalent.

NOTE: My intention here is not to promote piracy, but rather provide legal owners of DS games an alternate way of being able to play the DS game that they legally own. For that reason, however, I will not be providing any links to websites that distribute pirated copies of DS games for free. Kung gusto mo magdownload ng DS ROMS (games), use Google.
NOTE II: While Linux ang gamit ko sa screenshots, walang pagkakaiba ang mga 'to sa ibang variants ng DeSmuME, e.g. Windows, Mac, Nightly. Same procedures parin po.

I don't know. Wala akong Mac. Poor kid issues. Haha.
For Linux Users:
Search for "About" in your Distro's application lists. If you are using a well-known distro chances are you are already on a stable, 4.0 kernel, so no need to worry about the kernel requirement.
Here is my distro's "About" Application:
I'm using a x64 bit architecture. Good. Pero no need to check, since I won't be using the Nightlies provided in the official DeSmuME website, and will just be using the Ubuntu-issued DeSmuME stable build in the official Ubuntu repositories.
