NOTE: This Thread was made when melonDS 0.1 first released. Most of the following games have not been tested on melonDS 0.2+
This is basically just a thread on all compatible games that have been tested by users on melonDS so far. This thread will be updated relatively often. A few things to note:
Now that that's out of the way, without further ado, here's the whole list as of April 1st, 2017.

Posted by naknow >Near perfect In what bizarre world does near perfect look like this? The dog on the title screen is colored all wrong and missing its textures. In game, many blocks are transparent for some reason, the wireframe is rendering incorrectly, and there's no edge marking. The last pic might look fine to someone that's never played the game on real hardware, but it's missing antialiasing. Obviously, the edge marking and AA aren't implemented. But you can't call it 'near perfect' when they're not there. |

That bizarre world you're wanting to know more of would be the world of Android DS emulators. |

The world of Android doesn't aim at properly emulating the DS, or properly doing anything for that matter. It only aims at extracting money from users.
Regardless, it's better to have accurate compatibility/playtesting information. Screenshots are ideal, but having them in one big post is going to be a pain. We should set up a real compatibility list thing. ____________________ Kuribo64 |

Maybe using screenshots of both melonDS and real hardware would be a good idea. It would be easier to show what was wrong. Kinda like this:

yeah, that's a good idea, don't swap melonDS and real hardware tho
(also, no need to put the images in spoilers) ____________________ Kuribo64 |

Whoooooooooops.
But yeah. I used spoilers to show which was which (even though I messed it up lmao). |

I guess the glitches are because melonDS doesn't support decal texture blending. and shit like edge marking and antialiasing. ____________________ Kuribo64 |

Infinite Space (US) - fps in the 10s ingame, 30-60 non-ingame stuff.
Ketsui - Death Label (JP) - Stuck in one screen with japanese text. may be DRM. P.S. a dedicated screenshot button may help, snipping tool is a pain. - |

To be honest, after what Arisotura said, I really think updating this thread will be useless.
That said, I'll do it anyway, because why not. |

Having a compatibility list on the forum is a good idea, but I think we should start a compatibility wiki instead. I'm not too sure how to start that though - anyone have experience starting a wiki? |

Would prefer something like a Google Sheet, but we all have different rigs of varying performance.
anyway, here are even more tests on a weak machine. N+ - Playable, even though it's slow. Superman Returns - In-game, slow, but it works. Horrible draw distance btw. Style Savvy - Stuck on Nintendo logo. Syberia - Black Screen. TouhouDS - libfat failure. Emulator doesn't support DLDI. Ultimate Mortal Kombat - In-game with lag all around for both modes. Zoo Keeper - Perfect emulation all around. album : http://imgur.com/a/44BZ6 - |

I guess compatibility reports should just not mention emulation speeds. Unless there's an emulation issue causing bad speeds, ie. game runs super slow but emulator says 60FPS. ____________________ Kuribo64 |

It's been a while since I've worked on a wiki page, but would something like this be useful?

Just IMO but rather than fit everything into a single chart as that wiki page shows, I think something like Dolphin's wiki where every game has it's own page is a better (and more future-proof) approach. PCSX2 uses this too.

Yeah, something like that would be good. One where it's easy to tell on which games need to be optimized, and which do not. |

Each game would get its own page, not every game shoved into the chart. The chart on my wiki is specifically for different instances from different users with software/hardware specs for other users to compare with, as well as for which version the instance was tested with. |
