Version: 0.9.9
DeSmuME has had many improvements since v0.9.6 (which was 3 years ago), especially to the Mac version. The Mac version was rewritten from the ground up using Cocoa and features a native Mac user interface. In addition, performance has been greatly improved, using the latest emulation core built with Mac-specific optimizations.
I would strongly encourage everyone to upgrade to the latest version and check it out! You won't be disappointed.

Version: 0.9.5
0.9.6 is out. It works REALLY good on Windows, but not as good on Mac OS X.
I hope it gets better.

Version: 0.9.5
I have used DeSmuME 0.9.4 and it works with many roms. Mind you thay are too slow to be playable on the intel C2D imac I have at the moment. But when I tried the same roms on 0.9.5 the app opened up ok (with a very ugly windoes-esk menu) and I loaded up some roms and they either simply do not work at all or crash the application.
It seems 0.9.5 is a broken release that needs fixing. If you can get the roms working on 0.9.4 stick with that for the time being.

This new GTK-based version, while little on the ugly side, runs much faster for me (10.6 on a Core Duo Mini).
