Woohoo new release always good to see :) I just tried Castlevania dawn of sorrow and I'm sure it faster than the last release :)
Going to try Bowsers Inside Story again and see if I can finally get past that boss that requires the mic blow :P
Thanks for adding the fix @catlover007 ;)

Was mainly referencing libretro's build.
Sorry for not clarifying
It will still take some time until these changes hit libretro.

Thats amazing news! Gonna try this on L4T.
Unfortunately you will need a bit more overclocking than with this port due to it missing the neon gpu 2d optimisations

atleast I managed to do so with the save file you provided

yo wow man. Drastic killer? I mean this is missing some minor stuff in terms of like controls/resolution increase. But this is a really nice release. Hey man if no one takes care of you I will get you your flipgrip soon. I asked if a viewer can in the meantime. If noone else gets you one I definitely will. Should be within 2 or 3 weeks. You deserve it. I will buy one for myself I don't understand why everyone talks about them so much but whatever. Update the vid in the op I guess?

I'm glad you're all enjoying the new release.

thanks and also great to hear you changed your mind on melonDS :lol:. Though I have to point out that not all praise goes to me, I did the JIT and some other optimisations, but Arisotura(@StapleButter) is the one who developed this emulator in the first place.

@catlover007 Can I make a feature request now that controlling the ui is possible with the controller?
As it is now I can only control one of the ui boxes when ingame. Would it be possible to add a button to cycle through ui boxes after I open the in game menu? like the select button? or just the ability to navigate between ui boxes?

if you mean jumping from one window to another, that's already possible. Press L or R while holding Y. I think it also says so in the window explaining the UI controls.

I can't get the rom list to show up. I was also confused about the instructions; the "roms" folder goes on the root of the sd card right? and by "/nds" you're saying to create a folder, right? Not that the .nds's themselves go into "/roms"? Either way I tried both options and they still aren't showing up, not sure what to do.

Is there a way to use the mic with a button? Haven`t figured it out yet if it is already a thing.

Also, use the touchscreen on TV mode? Some games use the joystick but some others don`t (maybe with the right stick and clicking the stick is the touch input?).

And lastly, thank you, I have tried a bunch of good games and all of them are working great. Thank you. Lookin' up for more updates.

Roms go in: /roms/ds/

the mic can be triggered by pressing and holding the left analog stick button.

I can’t believe how well this new alpha version performs with 2D games. Wow.

Question: I‘m a big fan of integer scaling. Is that something we may see in the future? In the interim, is the closest approximation found by setting emphasize one screen in a vertical fashion?
