melonDS 1.0 is out
Finally, the "proper" melonDS 1.0 release is here. Sorry that it took so long...


Anyway, this is pretty much the same as the 1.0 RC, but we fixed a bunch of bugs that were found in said RC.


Namely, you can now use multiple windows with OpenGL under Windows.

However, depending on how good your OpenGL driver is, doing so may reduce performance. It's due to having multiple OpenGL contexts sharing data, but for now we don't really know what we can do about it. If you have ideas, let us know!

Speaking of multiple windows, I also added a way to tell melonDS windows apart, because things could get pretty confusing. They now get a tag in their title, for example [p1:w2] means first multiplayer instance, second window.


We also merged asie's add-on support PR, so this release includes support for the Motion Pak and the Guitar Grip.

We merged some other PRs. Among which, lower audio latency.


This release also includes the DSi camera fixes that were discussed in the previous posts. DSi titles that ran into issues while trying to use the camera should now work with no problems.

However, since they tend to also use the DSP at the same time, the performance will be abysmal...


DSP HLE is something I want to experiment with, but that will be for a further release.

As far as future plans are concerned, I also want to redesign the site's homepage, but you'll find out when I get around to that.


Anyway, you can find the release on our downloads page, as usual. Enjoy!

MelonDS version 1.0 doesn't support Win 7 anymore?

Thanks!

retroachievements seem to be popular demand, so we'll have to see what we can do
