What is missing

  • Wi-Fi
  • OpenGL renderer
  • Customizable button skins
  • More display filters

Performance

Performance is solid on 64 bit devices with thread rendering and JIT enabled, and should run at full speed on flagship devices. Performance on older devices, specially 32 bit devices, is very poor due to the lack of JIT support.

Integration with third party frontends

It's possible to launch melonDS from third part frontends. For that, you simply need to call the emulation activity with the absolute path to the ROM file. The parameters are the following:

  • Package name: me.magnum.melonds
  • Activity name: me.magnum.melonds.ui.emulator.EmulatorActivity
  • Parameters:
    • PATH - a string with the absolute path to the NDS ROM (ZIP files are supported)

Building

To build the project you will need Android SDK, NDK and CMake.

##Build steps:

  1. Clone the project, including submodules with:

    git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/rafaelvcaetano/melonDS-android.git

  2. Install the Android SDK, NDK and CMake

  3. Build with:

    1. Unix: gradlew :app:assembleGitHubRelease
    2. Windows: gradlew.bat :app:assembleGitHubRelease
  4. The generated APK can be found at app/gitHub/release
