Homebrew RetroArch Switch

MelonDS isn't discontinued
It is still being worked on, just hasn't seen much updates lately.

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.

Damn, that's bad. Melon was looking like a very promising project.

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.

Catlover might stop work on MelonDS, but that doesn't mean Hydr8gon or Arisotura will stop work on MelonDS as a whole.
Catlover did the dynarec for MelonDS, but the main devs are still Arisotura and Hydr8gon.
Don't confuse that with melonDS ending development entirely.

Also, it's all speculation about Drastic making a core for Switch and make it open source, since we haven't seen any core yet at all. So there's that as well.

FYI rsduck's fork has nothing to do with Hydr8gon's, he is continuing the project because he wants a final release, he's currently working on DSi support

Ah I'm aware of that.
I just meant to say that melonDS by itself is not ending development. Only catlover's work if he so decides.

Well, those are some actually good news! Can't wait for the final release.

When DraStic is eventually released for Switch Retroarch it'll basically supercede the melonDS core. But since we don't know when that is, it's good that melonDS development is still ongoing.

 

[ShadowOne333]

It's always good to have options tbh.
More so on PC or other ARM devices like Single Board Computers.
It would for sure be neat to see melonDS evolve the way it is going.
I'd still continue to use it on RA even if Drastic comes along for sure.

 

[Billy Acuña]

Well, drastic doesn't have DSi support (along other features) so melonds can still being used along with drastic.

 

[LeyendaV]

Sadly there's no such thing as an ultimate DS emulator. So, unless we get that, it's good to have as many good options as possible.

I'm more happy with MelonDS Standalone its superb than retroarch also anyone know any core can work with Win95 on Switch retroarch or need to be made? Because my Favorvite when I'm young I used to play Pac-Man Advenuture in time and Ms.Pac-Man search for lost gold in Pyramid all these require minimum win 95 to 98 which I have cue and bin for ms. And mdf and md files so hoping anyone know ?

I even wonder if there's a source for that statement. Where did the Drastic team ever say that?

Cores go inside /retroarch/cores. BIOS and assets go inside /retroarch/cores/system

You mean video driver? I'm using gl.

I have a weird problem when I go to change controller binds under input. You know how there's a picture of each button and then it says the button well they're all wrong, and one of the bottons is mapped as Mouse so I can't change it to another button it only lets me increase from 0 to whatever which does nothing. I have no idea how this happened. Has anyone else had this happen or just me?
