melonDS VS melonDS-android

Nintendo DS Emulator (Pokemon, Mario Kart, Chrono Trigger etc.)

We used this version of MelonDS, which has experimental LAN capabilities and IT WORKS!

Use MelonDS instead, it's the most recommended DS emulator.

You mean emulators running on PC? It took some doing, but I finally got DS Download Play to work on MelonDS. First you need to get DS firmware files. I found one on Retrostic that did not work for me. Melon told me it was an old hacked dump, and trying to boot it just got me a white screen. I found another on the Internet Archive that works.

MelonDS is actually doing a lot of really cool stuff. I can't speak too much on the Android build, but on PC they have actually gotten multiplayer too work flawlessly and they are currently working on implementing netplay. You can keep up with their progress here

no, you can use mGBA for GBA games, and MelonDS for NDS games

If you are on Windows you will need to install MSYS2 and this will make the process easier (which is why that's how they build it like that). Once installed open it and do: - pacman -S git (update git in MSYS2 with pacman) and then build the standalone execultable - git clone https://github.com/melonDS-emu/melonDS (clone inside the MSYS2 environment) - cd melonDS go into the folder and copy paste the last commands in the Static Builds section a few lines bellow

DeSmuME or melonDS for PC. Those are the two best ones out there. Mobile devices have nothing good at the moment, though.

- I followed the step of the melonDS Github under "Linux" for archlinux : https://github.com/melonDS-emu/melonDS

I'm not sure it's possible. I had the same problem. You can only hide it completely or change position to the top. but without a gamepad you can't Access settings in-game. If it really bothers you, you can change to MelonDS which is free. (Last updated July https://github.com/rafaelvcaetano/melonDS-android/releases ) I think Drastic developer kind of abandoned the project, since he haven't updated it for 8 months now (I paid for it as well).

Ah, you're using the Android version of melonDS? Yeah, the latest version allows managing DSi titles. The PlayStore seems to have it updated already, or you can just grab the .apk from the GitHub page. However, you may not need it.

And to add MelonDS android also supports Retroachievements

I haven't tried it but MelonDS can apparently run DSiWare.

You can download it from here... Its in the artifacts at the bottom of the page https://github.com/rafaelvcaetano/melonDS-android/actions/runs/4864538207

You're in luck! I recently did this for my Surface Duo. There's a nightly build of MelonDS you can build and install which has RA support. Works very well! https://github.com/rafaelvcaetano/melonDS-android/actions/workflows/main.yaml

Drastic https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsemu.drastic is the best choice for DS emulation. It's paid but it genuinely is worth the money. There is also MelonDS https://github.com/rafaelvcaetano/melonDS-android but it's not quite as good but can play DSi games where Drastic cannot.

There's a standalone app for MelonDS.
