What works:
Everything except network play / WFC / WIFI.
These games freeze in DeSmuME periodically. Use lots of in-game saves.
Download Pokemon: HeartGold Version ROM for Nintendo DS / NDS. Pokemon: HeartGold Version game is available to play online and download for free only at Romsget.Pokemon: HeartGold Version ROM for Nintendo DS download requires a emulator to play the game offline. Re: Avatar Glitch with Pokemon HeartGold on latest DeSemue nope, speeding up the game is invisible to the game. Most people are encountering this bug (if they are using an old version of desmume; none of them are encountering it if using a recent build) while running at 1.0 speed. But thanks for sharing your thoughts.
What's needed:
An anti piracy patch is reported to help reduce the freezing, but it isn't recommended unless you're sure youre stumped. Google is your best friend here (hint: Rudolph's patch).

Optimal Settings:
Soft Rasterizer. Enable Textures is needed (threshold: 0), the rest of the 3D settings don't make a difference.
Advanced BUS Level-Timing is not needed, disable it. External BIOSes and firmware are not needed. Sound works well with Dual SPU Synch.
Optimal speeds:
Decent speed+limited frameskip: Frameskip 9, Auto-Minimzed skipping enabled.
High speed, limited frameskip: Frameskip 4-5.
Highest speed: Frameskip 9.
Use x64 if your system supports it. Don't use SVNs unless you know what it means and you want it (note: official releases are optimized and give a huge FPS boost if you don't optimize your SVNs).
Notes/Game FAQ:
*THIS GAME (like most of the games honestly) IS SLOW ON LOW END COMPUTERS. IF YOUR COMPUTER IS FROM 2006 OR EARLIER YOUR FPS WILL MOST LIKELY SUCK.
*GBA slot works WITH A SAVE FILE (*.sav) OF VBA OR ANY OF IT'S UPGRADES/PORTS.
*SAVE TYPE is automatic. I repeat, AUTOMATIC.
*As with all pokemon games, make an in-game save as early as possible and relaunch the emulator to verify that it can be loaded. This will help make you feel secure that when you get to the end of the game and need to reset and load a save file, it will work.
*If you didn't download the emulator from the official Desmume site then it WON'T WORK, no matter what youtube guide you used.
*Use 0.9.7. There may be a slight speed drop from 0.9.6 and below, but if you use 0.9.6 and below and you face an antipiracy then I'm not gonna answer your questions.
Feel free to ask any questions regarding this game here. Granted, this forum is meant for emulation/compatibility related questions, not to discuss the actual game (unless it's related to a bug in the emulation).
