	Q: A game I want to play doesn't work - what can I do?
	A: Check out some of the working games / nds roms - and wait for a new version of DeSmuME with better compatibility.

	Q: I tried a couple of the working roms on it and I realized that none of them had sound. I just wanted to know why, and if there is anyway I can fix it?
	A: At this time DeSmuME DOES NOT emulate sound for the Nintendo DS games. That is one of the things that you will see added in the future releases of the emulator.

Q: Is DeSmuME.com the Official Website for this DeSmuME DS Emulator?

A: YES - according to the original DeSmuME creator yopyop.

Inicialy the official website was located at a free web host in France at url yopyop156.ifrance.com . Doe to illegal legal threats from Nintendo it was closed. YopYop decided that he would not continue developing DeSmuME. But don't worry others have picked up where he left off.

	Q: Why did you make this website?
	A1: To spread the good news that there is a new working NDS emulator. A2: To make sure that IF ifrance.com decides to delete the official site there will be a backup.

Q: What does DeSmuME mean?

A: DeSmuME is a new Nintendo DS emulator and the name is a play of words - DS Emu + ME (like FlashMe - firmware hack and PassMe mod-chip for DS)
