The OpenGL option in video settings wouldn’t work on Linux Mint. Installing VLC media player fixed this problem. Apparently, it comes with codecs/packages/whatever that are required for the OpenGL option to work.
It was frustrating because it had worked before, but later, on a fresh install, that wasn’t the case anymore. I had to do some research, and eventually found a comment in an unrelated forum that mentioned that VLC comes with some extra codecs. I was a little surprised when installing VLC fixed the OpenGL problem for me. I did already have VLC installed the first time I tried melonDS though, so I guess that’s why I didn’t have this problem before. Just so you know. |

It's unlikely it's anything related to "codecs" that are causing the issue. More likely you just didn't have the libgl1 package (and maybe some other OpenGL packages) installed and VLC ended up having it as some dependency so automatically installed it when you installed the VLC package on whatever package manager. If anything what you ran into is weird case of that distro for some reason does not install those packages by default for whatever reason (most distros have these packages installed by default). melonDS releases just being raw executables means you don't have any kind of installation process automatically installing these libraries (although melonDS really shouldn't need that in the first place except in weird cases like this). |
