Package: desmume
Version: 0.9.10-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
1. The keybinding information seems to be outdated and reverses 3 bindings:
Keyboard can be configured and by default works as follows:
F1-F10 load savegame from slot 1-10
Shift+F1-F10 save game to slot 1-10
Non-keypad arrows act as d-pad
z = A
x = B
...
Left Shift = SELECT
x/z have been flipped, as has left/right shift. That is: x = A, z = B, select = Shift_R.

2. The man page also omits the option `--depth-threshold`; passing an option like `--depth-threshold=10` is necessary to get some games like _Advance Wars: Dual Strike_ into a playable state (eg, you can't see the cursor in _Dual Strike_ without that option; #452 https://sourceforge.net/p/desmume/bugs/452/ ).
3. Also, less importantly, the man page says
--opengl-2d
Enables using OpenGL for screen rendering
But this option no longer seems to exist:
$ desmume --opengl-2d
Error parsing command line arguments: Unknown option --opengl-2d
Failed to set format: Invalid argument
