This emulator slows down a lot when 3D graphics are in play. Even semi-3D games like New Super Mario Bros. and Sonic Rush succumb to this, while full-2D games like all of the Kirby games don't have such an issue.

But that's only if you're trying to play it regularly. It will definitely slow down if you try to record it as an AVI, but it's annoying when you're not trying to record a movie at all and just are just trying to play the darn game. At least the video itself comes out at full speed. So it's not a complete loss, and could actually be a benefit if I'm patience enough.

For my Final Fantasy boss viewers: I'm considering to record the bosses of Final Fantasy III's DS version, but this may be a barrier to that or just a negative condition. I could either go through with it anyway, play through the original NES version, or just skip FFIII entirely and move onto FFIV. This will happen after I finish FFII, of course.

UPDATE #1: My DeSmuME isn't loading Final Fantasy III DS, and it's the only ROMs that's not working on it, so I've decided to tackle on its NES English Fan Translation once I get done with Final Fantasy II Advance (Dawn of Souls).

I finally started a proper playthrough of Sonic Rush. Check it out in the playlist, here!:
