melonDS

DS emulator, sorta

The goal is to do things right and fast, akin to blargSNES (but hopefully better). But also to, you know, have a fun challenge :)

The source code is provided under the GPLv3 license.

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!

How to build:

Linux:

  • mkdir -p build
  • cd build
  • cmake ..
  • make

Windows:

  • use CodeBlocks

Build system is not set in stone.

TODO LIST

  • better 3D engine
  • wifi
  • other non-core shit (debugger, graphics viewers, cheat crapo, etc)

TODO LIST FOR LATER

  • more 3D engine features
  • hardware renderer for 3D
  • wifi
  • maybe emulate flashcarts or other fancy hardware
  • 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
