Some news Jan 26th 2019, by Arisotura |

A little update on the plans for upcoming melonDS versions. Things have slowed down a bit since 0.7.3. I wanted to address some of the newer timing issues, but there's bigger trouble arising from this, I'll get to it. Also, attempting to get things done(tm) in real life, which is another reason why it's slowing down. Regardless, we're still alive and kicking. For melonDS 0.7.4, I want to fix some interface issues, and finally add some interface for setting up online-mode wifi. There might be other fixes, but that release will hardly be a revolution. 0.8 will be, as promised, the hardware renderer and upscaling. I don't want to delay this any further, so instead I'm going to delay what will come next. For 0.9, or something like that. We're running into timing issues that can't be addressed by simply tweaking our timing values for cached memory. Not without breaking other games. I am reluctant to using per-game hacks. So, the last line before the dreaded "per-game hacks or full ARM9 cache emulation" situation: perfecting CPU timings. The current CPU timings are imperfect, making things run faster than their hardware counterpart, especially on the ARM9 side. The ARM9 is complex so working out its complete timings will take a while. Also, there's been some changes to this site, and we're not done :) |

| I think that Arisotura is StapleButter, I just can't find any proof. |

| Considering that one only needs to change the DNS server in order to get online via the likes of Wiimmfi anymore, I would imagine that's all that would really be needed for any sort of online UI. |

StapleButter is me, I just changed my username. as for the wifi UI, what we need is a way to select which network adapter will be used. |

| This emulator is great... I follow its development quite a while ago, great work. I just wanted to congratulate and thank you, I was long waiting for an alternative to emulate DS in linux natively... Thank you, thank you so much and keep it up! |

| Thanks for the update. I love your verbose updates because it helps us mere 'civvies' understand the trials and tribulations of writing emulators better. |

| One question, can the emulator (in Linux) open zip compressed games? I tried but the emulator closed. I don't know if it's an emulator error or is not possible. |

poudink says: Feb 2nd 2019 |
| no but someone made a pull request to add support of zip and 7z to the emulator |

| Think you can implement headset support so we can use the microphone in games that use the built in one? |
|
A dragon says: Feb 7th 2019 |
| Forget what I said about the headset. It seems I'm using an outdated version. I'll try a newer one. |

If your headset is recognized as a regular microphone, no reason it wouldn't work, but you need 0.7.2 or more recent. (guest posting, lazy) |

| Actually, it's more like I wasn't aware of the version I had installed wasn't up to date. I was running 0.7 at the time. I wonder if the Retroarch version's kept up to date. Anyway, there is one thing I'd suggest trying to implement. Offer the ability to use the analog stick on controllers as a virtual stylus. |
