what it says on the tin. this requires winpcap or npcap.

direct mode is going to be useful if you want to connect melonDS to the internet, but for most purposes you shouldn't need it. without direct mode, melonDS will default to using libslirp, which should work just as well.

Maybe you should include some text under the "online" section that says something along the lines of "If Direct Mode is disabled, Indirect Mode is used instead (recommended)".
Questions like these seem to be coming up a lot.

good point. it's not terribly intuitive right now.

was also thinking the [PLACEHOLDER] thing didn't look so good (thought I took care of it, guess not).
