Well, I'm trying to update the code base but the difference between this code base (2020 if I remember correctly) and the new one causes a lot of conflict. I'm thinking to update just few aspects, not everything

@Gheovgos I updated my OLED switch to FW 20.1.5 and atmosphere+hetake accordingly.
MelonDS launches to a black screen.
Can somebody confirm please?

Hi there!!! thank you so much for updating this, i've been having fun playing Pokemon platinum using it. one thing i have noticed though is the retroachievements notifications slow the game down considerably because the platinum achievements have one for walking 99,999 steps with the in-game pedometer, so every step you take procs a notification and causes the game to lag. would it be possible to add a option to disable notifications?

of course! I'll do it in the next update

The 20.0.15 is the latest firmware? Beside, do you run it in normal mode (pressing R while launching any game from HOS)?

misspelt FW version: it's 20.1.15 (the one just before the 20.2 update that just popped up

actually my bad, must have been in applet mode (happens so rarely I must have forgot about it)

Hey Giorgio @Gheovgos, Thanks for all the work. i was just wondering, as it's a big big feature for me, if you're planning to add Nintendo WFC support. Ofc i'd be willing to pay if you could just to speed up/give an incentive to the process. btw are you italian?

Don't worry, it can happen!

Yes (to both, WFC and italian), but I'll do it later, I need to fix some other things first

About the money, do not worry, I'll work as fast as I can, it is a hobby project and I work it on my free time. But if you want to give me support (and thanks so much for it, even without any support at all!) I linked the kofi account on the github repo

 

[ikynx]

What ils WFC ?

 

[Deleted member 671446]

Hey gang! I've fixed some errors that have been pointed out to me and added a couple of features (for example, removing notifications), I decided to open a prerelease to include unstable but more updated versions as they are developed, here is the link:



https://github.com/Gheovgos/melonDS/releases/tag/nightly



Also posted in the main thread.

I have not been active lately due to personal commitments IRL, but now I have more time and should be free until early next month. I will try to complete some features that have been requested, the next release should be about remapping and I would like to add the ability to “touch” certain areas of the touchscreen through some buttons of choice

What ils WFC ?

Custom and private servers
