Feature Requests

Open WindowsNinetyTen opened this issue 1 year ago • 5 comments

I would like the following features to be added to MelonDS:

  • Screen mirroring support where the top screen is shown on the monitor/TV/etc. and the bottom screen is shown on the phone screen (whether folded or unfolded).
  • Support for wider aspect ratios. I tried to use wider aspect ratio cheat codes but they have no effect.
  • Vulkan renderer as well as improvements to OpenGL.
  • Support for GBA emulation.

Here's another one. Make melonds to where it runs games based on performance like drastic ds instead of accuracy.

Nah, this one is not really that needed. I much prefer beter accuracy with a bit more lag, than super smooth gameplay with random glitches. Accuracy should come first.

But dosen't the pc version run games at full speed? Drastic can do that too. In 2025 I think trying to play older games on newer hardware require it to at least have a option to enhance it and make it run faster and better. That's just me tho.

Two more feature requests: overclocking support and emulation of the DS rumble pak using the phone's vibrator.

And I also have two questions: Does setting the system to DSi make the game run at DSi clock speed (133 MHz)? And can one use both DSi system and have a GBA ROM loaded?

The Media Projection Library is what the one guy is speaking of Drastic had this and MelonDS does support multi window support via Windows/Linux so it can be done.
