# melonDS
DS emulator, sorta
2016-05-16 01:40:11 +00:00
The goal is to do things right and fast, akin to blargSNES (but hopefully better). But also to, you know, have a fun challenge :)

How to use:
melonDS requires BIOS/firmware copies from a DS. Files required:
* bios7.bin, 16KB: ARM7 BIOS
* bios9.bin, 4KB: ARM9 BIOS
* firmware.bin, 256KB: firmware
Note: the DS-mode firmware in the 3DS isn't bootable, it only contains the bare minimum to run games.
As for the rest, the interface should be pretty straightforward. If you have a question, don't hesitate to ask, though!

TODO LIST
* better 3D engine
* wifi

* big-endian compatibility (Wii, etc)
* LCD refresh time (used by some games for blending effects)
* any feature you can eventually ask for that isn't outright stupid
