Source code
Cheat support is very basic it only supports single line cheats and only those which are ether 8bit/16bit/32bit writes but it can be helpful in some case.
An example of an acceptable cheat is:
description = 999 Coins
code = 021336FC:0000270F
both sides of the code must be 32bit or else it wont work and might crash the program
To celebrate this unofficial continuation being hosted on sourceforge i have released two binaries one for the gp2x, which is the most complete and usable, interface wise, and one for nds which for the moment is slow and has no interface at all, this will change when devkitarm r20 is released and i can port over the gp2x selector and menues. But for now go enjoy these beta releases and feel free to post any bug reports, feature requests etc over on the sourceforge page
For those of you still checking here for DeSmuME updates i must redirect you to the new official DeSmuME blog and to Shash’s blog which both contain updates to DeSmuME.
Just note that Shash’s updates will take time to get incorporated into the main DeSmuME code base … If they get incorporated that is, lets just hope they do as he has done a wonderful job on improving DeSmuME
Also note that I have not stop working on DeSmuME it’s just right now my computer seems to be causing problems with DeSmuME so until i reformat i may not actually do much for desmume.
Some great news,
The next release will include sound (if licence allows) and basic 3d support (although at current state flicker between 2d and 3d scenes on the top screen, I have yet to find away to fix this, if anyone has any ideas let me know).
Heres some screens to get you all drooling 
But note none of these games are playable as of yet.

Hi,
Some good news heres a new release fixing a few nasty bugs … hopefully.
Changelog:
Ok ok this is just a hacked version of Oswan 0.73b4 from http://php.nm.land.to/ and it fixes a few little bugs ive noticed mainly the annoying sound hanging when going back into the gui is now gone and the graphic corruption in Naruto is now gone (for anyone who is interested in why the corruption was happening it was because of the crappy DMA code oswan was using).
If the author of oswan 0.73b4 reads this email me (normmatt234 at gmail dot NOSPAM com)
28/06/06 Opps seems the binary url was wrong ><;
This release uses a newer FAT lib which has support for all flashcarts that use SD/CF including eg SC and M3
Hi,
Heres a new release of DeSmuME featuring a key config dialog, proper X/Y key implimentations and finally FAT emulation thanks to mic.
The other day i got bored and started to port the VMU Emulator for the PSP to NDS and i did but it didnt work not until i got some help from GPFerror who reported it but it only worked in Dualis, that was until i tracked down the bug that was stopping it from working on hardware it turns out it was “char **arg” making it a simply “char*” fixed it.
So here you go, download it now
