#1394 Crash when loading rom (adminuser/permissions related)
Desmume crashes when loading any rom if it's running from a location which requires administrator privileges (works when run as admin). I am pretty sure it didn't need any before v0.9.10 but I don't have an older version so I can't tell if it's because of desmume or something else.
Changing the battery path to desktop works without admin, but any changes made in config will not save if not executed as admin. Desmume needs to be run as admin to function normally.

sounds likely. the desmume developers use XP, and it's hard to keep checking to see if things crash when permission to write is denied
You shouldn't place DeSmuME inside anywhere that requires administrator privileges (e.g. Program Files) because that doesn't make sense for a portable program. (By "portable" I mean the settings and stuff are stored on the same directory of the executable.) Just put it inside your user profile directory.
Yes! I know I shouldn't but it worked well before. Just tested with 0.9.8 and I can confirm it works without admin rights. Can't imagine why it doesn't work anymore.... Guess I'll have to start switching folders again.
when i play pokemon it wont work all it tells me program close.
every time i play pokemon explores of sky, it crashes doing the gameplay or when it's loading a room. why is this happening?
don't use savestates, save in-game, and reset the game occasionally.
Confirmed crash on the v0.9.10 release as well as on r5120. The crash occurs exactly as the bug report describes.
Of note, the v0.9.9 release does not crash, but does get stuck on a white screen emulation hang (the app itself does not hang). However, the v0.9.8 release works just fine, so this can be considered a regression.
I'm not sure this is a scenario we care to support. But it'd be better to detect it and bomb out and warn the user.
Fixed in [r5121].

He's most likely not, I'm getting the same
For someone whose been using desume for a while and one day it just stopped loading ROMS, try config -> slot 2 (GBA) and change it to none.
it crashes on pkmn black 2 for me too
stop using cheats
happening for me to. I cant be using cheats because i have never even loaded the game up before to be able to input them. dowloaded it, tried to open it like all my other roms that work fine and then it says its not responding, then,crashes
Then your rom is broken, or your GPU is broken and the 3d engine kicking in crashes your GPU driver. Upgrade or downgrade your drivers, or change the 3d renderer to softrasterizer with another game opened and close the emulator to save the changes
is there any way I can play without administrator on a chromebook
Ask the vendor of the desmume package you're using. It wasn't made by us.
