TIER LISTS
AW1 and AW2 never had serious PvP play, so there are no tier lists for them.
AWBW (Advance Wars by Web) JUL 2010 Note: I don't play AWBW, and thus this tier list was not influenced by me. Therefore, don't look at me if you think there's problems with it! Complain here if you must. Assumes megatanks and black bombs banned. |

How to stream AW (or any other DS game) via emulator:
1. Get DeSmuME, Flash Media Live Encoder, and ManyCam, and install all of them.
2. Create a justin.tv account, then download your FMLE profile here.
3. Run DeSmuME and position it so that it's off to the side. You'll need space for DeSmuME, browser/IRC, and FMLE. Open a game up.
4. Run FMLE and load up your profile. Change video source to ManyCam. Audio source is dependent on your audio driver.
5. The ManyCam icon should be in the taskbar. Open it, go to Effects/Text over video and uncheck Show ManyCam.com Logo. Then go to Sources/Desktop, select Custom desktop, and position the screen area so that it's over where you want to record. Use the FMLE preview window if you want to be precise.
6. In FMLE, set bitrate (200-300 is good enough) and framerate (24 is good, but choose 15 if you drop frames), check Auto Adjust, save your settings, and you're good to go!
