i added Nintendo WFC to MelonDS standalone

nicogd · 2026-07-21T19:56:12+0100

as title says, after weeks of work i succesfully managed to add the Network code to MelonDS, the only things that are needed are a genuine firmware (not banned from the custom dns's) and the rom need to be patched with No SSL, the great Admiralcurtiss has a wfc patcher which is free available on his github. i uploaded all the code on my github as @mathew77 pointed out how the licensing system works. if you'd like to support me i'll leave my donations link: https://ko-fi.com/nicogd

thats not how it works man, you have to test and compile everything. plus claude makes a lot of mistakesm and you have to fix each and every one manually. it helped me a lot, no doubt but i did the heavy lifting. anyone who codes can confirm it

MelonDS is under the GPLv3.0 license. So your modifications and redistribution also must be under it's terms.
If modified app is distributed to other users and any portion of it contains GPL-covered code, its source must be published under the same license.

Not doing that violating the rules.

Thanks for your contribution, could not give a f**ck if you did it all by yourself, using AI or using your *ss, you did something that others didn't and that is what it counts
