The crew are currently working on a full update of the iDeaS Compatibility Database (including working out the settings needed) and continue to work on a combined database showing the best emulator to use for each game

A No$GBA cheat file has also been started, with the cheats being verified as working

Work on other projects continues including a unique style of walkthrough for one of the DS games and the creation of custom DPG format videos

If you would like to help test some games, help verify cheats, help test the walkthrough or would just like to use the full databases with free live support, just visit the crew on IRC

DS Compatibility Databases

2007-06-01T21:53:00.000+12:00

In operation since 2005 and the result of literally many hundreds of hours of testing and retesting, the DS Compatibility Databases on IRC are a wealth of information for DS emulationists

Listing over 440 English games, the free databases provide useful information including known game problems, how to solve some of these problems, which game settings to use, tips and more

This scaled down web version of the databases presents just a snippet of this information along with sample videos

Live help from experienced database crew and access to the full databases is available here (IRC client required)

It's usually best to visit IRC between 1am GMT and 11am GMT (if you don't get an immediate response please wait or try later)

No$GBA Compatibility Database

2007-06-01T21:52:00.004+12:00

Work in Progress

The full No$GBA Compatibility Database (over 440 English games) has additional information including known problems, how to solve some problems, tips and more

The save types have been both worked out and load-verified by the database crew (when using the wrong save type, a game can say it has saved your position when it really hasn't)

Games listed as not playable are not playable with any emulator while games listed as playable are actually playable (not just whether the game can be made to run)
