A while ago, with my own contribution, Termux added official melonDS desktop version on their packages list. With this, you can now use it directly on your phone inside a Termux native desktop!

Here's how you can do it:
1. Install Termux, Termux:API and Termux:X11 from GitHub or F-Droid:
https://github.com/termux/termux-app
https://github.com/termux/termux-api
https://github.com/termux/termux-x11
2. After you installed Termux, open the app and run the following commands:
pkg upgrade (Refreshes the package list)
pkg install x11-repo (Enables the X11 repository which contains melonDS package)
pkg install xfce4 melonds pulseaudio termux-x11-nightly termux-api (Installs melonDS package including a desktop, you can change the desktop if you want something else than XFCE4)
pulseaudio --start --load="module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1 auth-anonymous=1" --load="module-sles-source" --exit-idle-time=-1 (Starts the PulseAudio server for enabling sound and microphone on your desktop)
export DISPLAY=:0 XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=$TMPDIR PULSE_SERVER=127.0.0.1 (Sets up essential variables for your desktop session)
termux-x11 -xstartup xfce4-session (Starts the XFCE4 desktop, if you have a different desktop, replace "xfce4-session")
3. Now open Termux:X11 application, find and launch melonDS and you can finally enjoy the official experience on your phone!

Note: You don't need to use the Android fork of melonDS anymore after this. But if you prefer to keep that, pretty sure you don't want to view this thread.

If you have any questions or issues related to this guide, feel free to DM or ping me on Discord (themightyarie)!
