melonDS DS is a libretro port of the melonDS emulator. It supports (nearly) all features of the standalone emulator, while prioritizing user-friendliness.
Here are some of the highlights:
- It has lots of user-friendly error messages that guide players to a solution should they encounter an unrecoverable problem, like missing firmware.
- I contributed numerous features and bugfixes to RetroArch and the standalone emulator to ensure that melonDS DS would provide a great experience.
- The screen layout can be adjusted on the fly, without having to go through RetroArch’s core options menu.
- It fully supports emulating the DS’s Wi-fi connectivity, by way of a set of community servers. I stubbed out libslirp’s dependencies to simplify the build process, and the code I wrote for this is used by another melonDS port!
