I hope you reconsider, I have been following your progress with this since the start. There's plenty of room for 2 (or more) DS Emulators on Switch
Don't throw it away like that. melonDS is great! Please keep up the good work!you might have already heared that drastic has been ported to retroarch and will eventually be open sourced. With this on the horizon I see no point anymore continuing my work. This project is discontinued.

I have only one homebrew nsp installed (Celeste), I'm using atmosphere with hekate as a bootloader. I launch melonDS from the hbmenu that I open with R + any game. Hope that answers your question.do you use nsps?
EDIT: or piracy OS aka SX OS?
Well, whatever you choose to do, your work has been greatly appreciated.you might have already heared that drastic has been ported to retroarch and will eventually be open sourced. With this on the horizon I see no point anymore continuing my work. This project is discontinued.
thanks, you're not even the first person to point that out to me (in this thread), that illustrates my slowness quite well.
Anyway it's time for a new release. The 2D GPU has gotten a complete optimised rewrite, though like always there are still a few pieces lying around. Whether you can see an speedup and how much depends mostly on if the games uses features which were already optimised in the previous build. For 3D games it makes less of a difference, because everything associated with 3D still eats up a lot of frame time.
The affine layer bug in turn has been by the implementation (it affected e.g. the badge case in Pokemon Platinum or sudoku in Dr Kawashimas Brain Training). I haven't encountered bugs with the new implementation, but if you find graphics error, please let me know! Note that mosaic is still only implemented vertically.
Other reported bugs have been fixed such as stereo output or keeping or the overclock reset. The GUI now can be controlled with buttons, the controls are explained in the menu.
Support for a sample which is played back when pressing down the left stick carried over to this frontent, because the white noise which was available in the last version was not picked up by games as blowing into the microphone. The DS's microphone is incredible easy to overdrive and after too much trying around I figured out that most games seek for exactly this. This file() works in Mario Kart and Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story. I'm curious how well it performs in other games.
romlist.bin is btw also included in the zip file, you only need extract the files from zip onto the root of your sd card. The bios and firmware files(named bios9.bin, bios7.bin and firmware.bin) still need to be added into /melonds.
The high shipping costs and/or dealing with customs held me back from buying a flip grip. If you want to support me and you're planning to order a flip grip in Europe yourself, consider ordering two and sending one to me (I would also add the option to rotate the GUI then).Thanks to @uzimakiuchiha who donated a flip grip!
EDIT: I forgot the file ^^
FIX 1: the help window incorrectly said rom files need to be placed into /roms/nds instead of /roms/ds
FIX 2: fixes the brightness up/down color effects for 3d layers (affected character creation screen in Dragon Quest IX as reported by @angelhp)
I removed them all in a affect, though that turned out to be pretty stupid. I'm going to make a last release for the time being with all the changes which have accumulated as soon as I get a few things sorted out. Meanwhile, here's the latest release.I somehow cannot see the download link? Am I too stupid or is there no link? :-D

melonDS for Switch
This is my port of the Nintendo DS emulator melonDS for the Nintendo Switch. To use it, place your legally dumped Nintendo DS BIOS files in the sdmc:/switch/melonds directory with the names "bios7.bin", bios9.bin", and "firmware.bin".
The emulator does have a hardware renderer, but it is currently broken on the Switch and in most cases actually runs slower than the software renderer. To get better performance, there is an option to enable overclocking of the Switch processor, with a maximum frequency of 1785 MHz. However, even with this, most games will not reach full speed!

Great work man. Kudos!
you can already now download the melonDS core from the updater and it will contain all of my changesI think I know the answer, but there's no way to get this to work with retroarch right?
For achievement purposes.
Does it allow touch input and vertical view in RetroArch? Then I gotta test that out!you can already now download the melonDS core from the updater and it will contain all of my changes
