Desmume emulator not working
Hey there, for an emulation beginner and macOS user, and as an easy workaround, I'd recommend you use OpenEmu . It's a frontend for multiple Nintendo/Sega/Retro console emulators at once (Nintendo handhelds up to DS, and consoles up to Gamecube), and works completely out of the box with controller support. Best of luck!

i just wrote a simple bash script to turn my game rom collection into a static webpage. it's far from perfect but for sure better than scrolling trough folders when looking for something to play!
If you're on Mac I personally love open emu https://openemu.org/

Why is this issue closed? I'm disappointed to see comments get shut down and the developer get snippy with people Rather than admit there is an issue to be resolved.
It was fixed so it was closed but there was no new release. You have to build it yourself if you want the fix.

Is OpenEmu still maintained/are new features planned?
414 commits since last release. I’d say that’s some significant activity. https://github.com/OpenEmu/OpenEmu/releases/tag/v2.3.3
The last commit to master was 2023/02/26 - https://github.com/OpenEmu/OpenEmu/commit/6d25e3da75558bf976f9efee3688fdf8f6c51d8f
You're better off asking the contributing developers directly on GitHub. There's no guarantee they're paying attention to reddit.

Rokid Max Review and Many Tips
Though these consoles did not support stereoscopy originally, the Dolphin emulator can add it and output SBS. My experience was a bit mixed. Your mileage may vary.

Local Co-op Action RPGs on PC
Platform: Gamecube. The remaster scrapped the local co-op entirely (booo). This one is a bit tricky but works perfectly once setup properly in Dolphin.
