[Feature Request] New Enhancment Ideas

[LutraVibes]

Hello! 👋

I have a few enhancement ideas for MelonDS, and here they are:

1. Standard Layout Size Button - Add a button by the scaling bar (when editing a layout) that sets the scale of the selected button back to the default; 104

2. Themes - Create a theme swapper with colour themes similar to Dolphin, along with custom colour selection similar to Chrome's, where you can select the main and accent colours from a preset table

3. ~~Emulation Colour Plates - Swappable colour presets, similar to swappable plates, that create shading/shadows on the main colour buttons and the accent colour for the background, with a colour table similar to what was said previously like in Chrome (this would affect emulation background and buttons, not home page)~~ Already planned

4. Super XBR Scaler - Add the Super XBR scaling filter to the video options (removes jagged lines and makes everything MUCH smoother, unlike HQ4X and xbrZ)

5. Circle Pad - Add an option under controls to replace the D-Pad with a circle pad for easier play

6. DSi Home Button - Pretty self explanatory; add a home button to return to the firmware

7. Local Connection + Multiplayer (DS Download Play) - Utilize Bluetooth/network for local play

8. Incremental Internal Resolution + Filtering - Perhaps add the incremental internal resolution (1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, etc.) like most emulators have (Citra, Yuzu, Dolphin). Anti aliasing and anisotropic filters to create a cleaner, more refined look for the 3D objects and visuals

I appreciate your consideration of these ideas, and if you are already working on these or have already thought of these enhancements. Keep up your amazing work. 👍

I have other suggestion to add to point 5. Add increment internal resolution x1 x2 x3 x4 like most of emulators have to get a better resolution, and antialiasing and anisotropic filter options too would be nice to try to get clean 3d most of we can.

Added to the suggestion list.

@rafaelvcaetano please take a look at the new suggestions if you haven't already. 💯

Wouldn't these be better as separate issues?

Not really. I would then end up with 13 different issues. Not preferable.
