Slowly figuring out what makes the DSi menu tick. Aaaaand... It will require some amount of wifi support to be able to launch titles. The amount required makes the 0.2 wifi stub look tiny in comparison. Basically the DSi menu tries to communicate with the wifi CPU thing and upload firmware to it. We can either HLE it given sufficient documentation (and have to deal with ass-shitting high-level wifi concepts) or LLE the damn thing. We'll see. |

OpenGL doesn't work. I am using an nvidia nvs 3100m with the latest drivers. melonDS 0.8.2 https://melonds.kuribo64.net/ OpenGL: glBindImageTexture not found OpenGL: initialization failed |

| The fact that you're getting closer to unifying the user experience is amazing. MelonDS is great and only getting better |

| I just saw that while Drastic is not open-source, it's custom BIOS replacement is redistributable, so perhaps you could try speaking with Exophase, Drastic's developer, and they may be able to help with development (or perhaps open-source specific parts of Drastic). |

| what's the difference between LLE and HLE exactly? I have a vague idea but I'm really not sure. |
|
Guest says: Jul 7th 2019 |
|
HLE = High Level Emulation LLE = Low Level Emulation HLE emulates specific things at a time, LLE emulates everything related perfectly (1:1). As a result, LLE is always more accurate, however it puts much more load on the system. |
|
poudink says: Jul 7th 2019 |
| Well of course I know what LLE and HIER stand for but I'm not sure about what it means, especially in this context. |

MelonMan: I aready saw your comment. that'll be fixed for 0.8.3. poudink: the DSi uses a Xtensa CPU for wifi. LLE would basically emulate said CPU and its ROM. HLE would emulate the high-level command set that is used to communicate with it. |

| All I ask is better graphic performance for Pokemon Games. |
|
poudink says: Jul 8th 2019 |
| graphic performance? you mean performance in general? well the JIT recompiler should improve performance a lot. melonDS could become one of the fastest emulators very soon. |
|
PokemonGraphicPerfor says: Jul 12th 2019 |

It is the best emulator, but still a bit away from the real DS. I know it's asking too much but it is close so maybe. I mean graphical performance, you see Pokémon battles are ok, but in overworld you feel lag, that added with OBS or other recording streaming programs makes things real slow. |

what system are you running? Pokemon Soul Silver runs full speed on an old core2quad Q8300 and a GTX745; hardly high end stuff might I add. So if your system is struggling then you need a new system |

| My advice is to work on other features and not stress it. Using the analog sticks to serve as a virtual mouse for general touch screen activity, for example. I'm kind of curious about how these games would pay with a controller only. |

Guest who says its licensed under MIT, can you tell me which mirror you found that readme on? I cannot find any evidence of any of this. :/ I just don't want any legal trouble for melonds. It looks promising. |
