- Popular Nintendo DS emulator melonDS just released version 1.0.
- New features include better upscaling, local co-op, and multi-window support.
- It’s available now for PC, Linux, and Mac, but there is no news about an Android version yet.
The popular Nintendo DS emulator melonDS just hit version 1.0, with a ton of new features and optimizations. This is one of the few DS emulators that’s still under active development, and it may soon leap ahead of long-established emulators like DraStic and DeSmuME.
One of the biggest new features here is LAN support for local co-op. However, the developer notes that at this phase you’ll need a speedy ethernet connection for the best results, and even Wi-Fi may lead to staggered performance. There’s still no netplay, but it is on the way.
