Some things that would improve the emulator

[ChrisTVH]

I would like a better optimization with this game Golden Sun Dark Dawn although I have seen that it runs better than other emulators because the demotion runs it but with errors of sound and erroneous screen

I also wish there was an option where you could add community translations to the emulator that would be a good thing

In addition to what I mentioned it would be good that in the directory where the emulator is the data of saved game states and when saving a game natively they are stored in separate folders and not where the roms are placed

Well if you took the time to read thank you very much for your attention.

What do you mean by better optimisation?
What is the issue with the game?

Golden Sun is a known offender for being slow and fragile. If there's game which broke during JIT developement it was Golden Sun. Besides pegging the cpu at 100%, it rewrites code multiple times in ITCM every frame.

If you haven't already, you can try the JIT beta release, on my machine the JIT makes the difference between 50 and 60 FPS.

With a more sophisticated idle loop detection, this could maybe be mitigated, if the information from the Desmume wiki is correct.

Regarding translations, they're currently quite a lot of other improvements for the frontend with higher priority.

Custom save file paths are already tracked in #338

That explains why I run so that the game is going to me at 40 fps and sometimes it reaches 57 fps with integrated graphics I have an AMD Radeon HD 7480D IGP

[RSDuck]

even when using the OGL renderer the graphics card hardly matters for performance, it depends first and foremost on your processor how good things run in melonDS (and for that matter most emulators, except for the newer systems).

[ChrisTVH]

The processor only consumes me at 40%
also when saving games in games it has low fps and the sound usually sounds a bit bad even if you remove the audio synchronization in options only sounds good at just 60 fps

[ChrisTVH]

And I also forgot to say that in the Soul silver pokemon game there are graphic bugs are not so serious but some distortion is noticed and in the legends of zelda also but in some cases depending on the scene although it does not bother so much they would be minor errors

One thing for next time, please make screenshots of the inaccuracies and split the issues my game, and look if the suggestions you made are already in other issues.

there are stop catches and sorry for not separating those black lines are graphic errors

[RSDuck]

You're using the OpenGL renderer, for which the black lines in Pokemon are a known issue see #458

The processor only consumes me at 40%

this is because melonDS only utilises a single cpu core with the ogl renderer (it can use a second core for the software renderer)

also when saving games in games it has low fps and the sound usually sounds a bit bad even if you remove the audio synchronization in options only sounds good at just 60 fps

saving is currently done synchronous, another known issue, see #477

while I appreciate your effort, before reporting an issue please check whether it hasn't been reported already.

Thank you very much for the help
