de Blob, is a 2008 platform-puzzle video game that allows players to explore and liberate an alien city from the evil, monochromatic INKT Corporation that has taken over the city and outlawed all color and fun from daily life. Playing as de Blob, gamers embark on a quest to re-animate the fictional place of Chroma City, and bring character back to the oppressed, by splattering buildings, landmarks, and citizens with color. de Blob was developed by Blue Tongue for the Wii and a cancelled version for the Nintendo DS was being made by the now-shut down developer Helixe, whose former employees have since formed DoubleTap Games. Both were published by THQ. The game was originally scheduled for a February 2008 release, but it was delayed and then released on 22 September 2008 for the Wii. A version of the game for iOS was released on 8 July 2008. THQ has also released a Windows Phone 7 version of de Blob. A Nintendo DS version was finished but never officially released. However, a DS version of de Blob game was released with a version of de Blob 2.
There are two components for playing a ds de Blob game on your PC. The first component is the emulation program which can imitate the ds OS and software.
The second component is the de Blob game itself to play on the emulator.
Step 1: you can start by downloading a reliable and bug free emulator. We’d suggest NO$GBA – it’s open source, fast and one of the most frequently updated.
Once you have finished downloading NO$GBA , extract the downloaded .zip file to a location, for example your Desktop. After, double click the no$gba.exe file in order to start the emulator.
Your emulator will now be ready to play de Blob. But now you’ll need to find the correct ROMs online. A ROM is essentially a virtual version of the game that needs to be loaded into the emulator.
Step 2: return to NO$GBA and hit File > Open. Navigate to the downloaded .exe file and double click it to open it. The game will now run on the emulator and you can play the game freely.
Tip: Saving games on an emulator functions a little differently. The integrated save system will not save your progress.
Instead, you’ll need to click File > Save State and then choose an empty slot. You can save your progress in whatever point you like within the game, not only on the official checkpoints offered by the game.
When playing in the future and you want to continue from your saved state, you can use File > Load State to load up the game from exactly where you last saved it.
