melonDS aims at providing fast and accurate Nintendo DS emulation. While it is still a work in progress, it has a pretty solid set of features. Firmware boot (not direct boot) requires a BIOS/firmware dump from an original DS or DS Lite. DS firmwares dumped from a DSi or 3DS aren't bootable and only contain configuration data, thus they are only suitable when booting games directly. DS BIOS dumps from a DSi or 3DS can be used with no compatibility issues.

Features

  • Nearly complete core (CPU, video, audio, ...)
  • JIT recompiler for fast emulation
  • OpenGL renderer, 3D upscaling
  • Various display position/sizing/rotation modes
  • Joystick support
  • Savestates
