Hi! I'm having trouble getting MelonDS to work on my Switch. I've tried accessing the version downloaded from hbappstore and from RetroArch. I have firmware.bin bios7.bin and bio9.bin placed in the same folder as melonds.nro but it can't find them. I've tried placing them in the same folder as the retroarch.nro as well.
Specifically, it says it can't find the above mentioned three and romlist.bin I'm just not sure where to place them to get melonDS to find them. |

I downloaded romlist.bin and placed it in the same folder as the others. It still says all 4 files are missing. I get a "File: /melonds/[filename] is missing" message for all 4 .bins
Here's what my SD card looks like: |

I don't know much about the Switch port. I'll bug Hydr8gon as soon as he comes online. ____________________ Kuribo64 |

this is a bit of an mess and I want to apologise in advance, because I'm partly responsible.
Via the homebrew app store an old version (as of a few days, I already contacted it's maintainer) of my switch build which includes the JIT and neon optimisations is available. For some reason I decided not to stick with Hydr8gon's file structure. All of the preparation files (bios7.bin, bios9.bin, firmware.bin and romlist.bin) need to go into /melonds while the roms go into /roms/ds (conviniently the place I already had my roms when I started with the new frontend ). You better download the newest version yourself here The libretro core currently doesn't contain any of these optimisiations, so it runs quite badly. ____________________ Take me to your heart / never let me go!
