I dunno what the MelonDS team have been cooking, but it's been going leaps and bounds from the initial August build.

So Far:

Mario Kart DS
*NORMAL CONNECTION
next to no issues. Bravo, lads and lasses.
*SIMPLE CONNECTION (MULTI-CARD)
can't connect for whatever reason. I have done it in the past though
*SIMPLE CONNECTION (DOWNLOAD)
actually connects fine after a few failures

Tetris DS
*NORMAL CONNECTION
connects fine after a few failed attempts
*DOWNLOAD
also connects fine after a few failed attempts

Big Brain Academy
*NORMAL CONNECTION
consistently good connections
*DOWNLOAD
lolno. I don't care if it does work. It took like 5 minutes to do on original hardware. just do multicard at that point

Mario Party DS
still incredibly spotty, but I have gotten it to work once or twice every dozen attempts to connect.
framerate is about 85-90%.
This one's basically my litmus test for download quality.

KIRBY SUPER STAR ULTRA
*2-P CAMPAIGN
fails once, then no issues onward.
*MULTIPLAYER (MULTICARD)
no issues
*MULTIPLAYER (DOWNLOAD)
doesn't work great, if at all.

ANIMAL CROSSING
has a few failures, but runs fine once connected


STARFOX COMMAND
no dice

METROID PRIME HUNTERS
*NORMAL CONNECTION
works great. Had like one failure, if that.
*SINGLE-CARD CONNECTION (MULTI-CARD)
it can see it, but does not work
*SINGLE-CARD CONNECTION (DOWNLOAD)
can download, but fails immediately afterwards


I must say, it's coming along great! Don't worry on the download play too much, as long as the multicard connections get more reliable.

Update for this week (might be a few hours out of date)

Mario Kart DS
*NORMAL CONNECTION
usually one failure but next to no issues.
*SIMPLE CONNECTION (MULTI-CARD)
no dice
*SIMPLE CONNECTION (DOWNLOAD)
actually connects fine after a few failures

Tetris DS
*NORMAL CONNECTION
connects fine
*DOWNLOAD
also connects fine

Big Brain Academy
*NORMAL CONNECTION
consistently good connections
*DOWNLOAD
Actually gave it a shot, and it gave up halfway

Mario Party DS
Actually got a first-time connect, to my utter bewilderment
framerate is about 95-99%.
(I don't know what you guys did recently but it's working so much better now)

KIRBY SUPER STAR ULTRA
*2-P CAMPAIGN
no issues
*MULTIPLAYER (MULTICARD)
no issues
*MULTIPLAYER (DOWNLOAD)
actually works now

ANIMAL CROSSING
runs fine


STARFOX COMMAND
no dice

METROID PRIME HUNTERS
*NORMAL CONNECTION
works great. Had like one failure, if that.
*SINGLE-CARD CONNECTION (MULTI-CARD)
works a little okay
*SINGLE-CARD CONNECTION (DOWNLOAD)
can download, but fails immediately afterwards

LEGEND OF ZELDA: PHANTOM HOURGLASS
*MULTICARD
works great
*DOWNLOAD
I get a success every now and then. Mostly failures

LEGEND OF ZELDA: PHANTOM HOURGLASS
*MULTICARD
no dice
*DOWNLOAD
works great (weird how Phantom Hourglass has the opposite problem)

Recently tried out some pokemon. It can connect to the Union Room. It's spotty, but can work.
Can't get Mystery Gift working though.

Can you tell us about the network you're testing these on? Specifically, are all of the devices you're using connected via Wi-fi, or are some of them using Ethernet?

Everything I'm currently using uses Ethernet connections between the computers. 2 player only since I don't have a method of connecting 3 or more yet.
Indirect connections like Wi-fi don't really work as far as I'm aware.

Currently, the best version so far to use LAN with is this one:

Misc tweaks and fixes to the interpreter
Windows #2626: Pull request #2125 synchronize by Jaklyy


I haven't been able to connect with others after this one.

Update 10/30/24 With some of the newer versions coming out, I've been experiencing frequent crashes on the emulator. And it's always when I try to load a different game.
This issue does not exist with the above version quoted here, which is rather strange. Windows #2626 is the best for me so far.

Also, I've been getting a lot more frequent connection failures for whatever reason, but I'll blame that on messing around with my network connections recently.

Gonna try organizing this into an Excel Sheet to show off my findings and my preferred way of play.
Hopefully the image shows. If not, I got a link.

This is great, thank you.

I'm due to update it in a new thread.
It's actually done some updates to play multiplayer games I didn't expect.
