For those worried about serious regressions in functionality, it's good
to keep in mind that console emulators aren't perfect, especially for a
platform as recent as the Nintendo DS.  This is probably why there are
no bug reports on it in LP -- users have low expectations for what is
essentially software in progress.  The new version will likely be an
overall improvement with a few regressions,  but the state of upstream
changes to desmune isn't something where upstream is concerned so much
about regressions as putting in basic required functionality like
emulating the 3d chipset the system has.

I've noticed improvements over what's in feisty, but it's a gargantuan
task to keep a list of what works and what doesn't in a given emulator,
let alone which version, to say nothing of listing whether there's more
fixes than regressions.  The nature of fixing emulators is that
sometimes fixing a bug exhibited by one test will cause a previously
barely passing test to fail.  I've noticed a few reports in the desmume
forums of commercial games regressions, but the majority of such
commercial games already don't play, as do a few homebrew games I tested
with (on both versions, noizds failed to run).

This software is very much a work in progress, and I think the recent
releases reflect on that.
