Hey y'all here's another emulation tutorial video. This one is about the melonDS emulator, which I absolutely adore. It truly feels like a labor of love. It also runs DS games flawlessly! Get to playing Pokemon or Mario 64
For anyone that is having issues that you cannot save state or that your settings in general do not save, when you launch melonDS (for the first time i believe) run it as administator and it will create an .ini file where your settings will be saved for the future.
Great guide, everything was very clear and well laid out. Thanks for uploading this!
how do i save the game? in melonds im playing pokemon white
This is such an amazing guid, short, to the point. Thank you, this really helps
I want to Thank You so much! I was thinking of getting the cartridges because things seemed complicated but your video was so easy to follow (granted, it did take me 40 minutes because I was a little confused at some point but I'm way past that). Currently downloading my favorite games, I'm so glad to have a piece of my childhood back
hey man just wanted to say THANK YOU ! seriously super straight forward. ive been trying other videos and i just get lost. not really good at following tutorials and yours was just so easy to follow !
THANKS
As of version 0.9.4, BIOS and firmware files are not required for DS mode.
what about 0.9.5 would that version not need it or does it?
@TotallyNotArkk thx tho is there anyway to optimize MelonDS? cause every now & again it slows down it gets annoying
thank you so much
What type of file do you need to play the games
@@SacredCeruleannds
Thx Man I Really Wanted To Play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon For A Long Time Im Thankful :)
When I click the link in the description to download the BIOS & Firmware files, it's not downloading a zip file it's downloading the NDS Firmware & BIOs
.7z file and I can't find the two bios files and firnware files anymore, am I doing something wrong?
Oh this fixed my problem!!!! I was originally under the impression bios was optional, thank you so much
this is honestly very "educational" lol thank you for this you deserve the world
Do u maybe know how to sprint in holding b button but it doesnt works 😭💀
Never mind i didnt play pokemon black and white for like 2 years and i forgot that u have to get running shoes to be able to run😭
Thanks, i wanted to use another emulator and this one is perfect
Thank you so much, I can now replay some of my favorite pokemon games as i no longer have a DS. Cant thank you enough!
I’m currently downloading every ds game I can find online, I’ve found some collections but they’re not quite complete, so I’m going to add my own collection online. If you’re wondering, I’m at about 3.5Tb of NDS games so far.
is that including 3ds games as well?
@@billsmith9249 that’s just DS games, they’ve been extracting for 42 hours straight now, with another 10-11 hours left. I have 0 3ds games right now, those will be after the psp games. (I have a shit load of storage specifically for ROMs)
Shit, wait. Those are the wii and GC games, in that case I have no idea how much space the DS games have taken up. I’ve got about 30Tb dedicated to ROMs but my latest drive is about filled up, going to buy a 22Tb in a week or so
@@SoreTv dear god didn't know someone could be so dedicated to roms lmao
@@popcatgaemr I’ve got damn near 10Tb of games in ROMs alone. I’ve bought nearly 1000 games on steam alone, and I have a couple other store fronts as well, though steam is my main one.
It’s mostly for archival but also for if anything happens and there’s some crash or societal collapse I’ll still have all the games I could ever want. I’m a prepper lol.
Edit: and yes, every single one is downloaded and ready to go offline. Plus, I have the flash game archive installed, which was another 3 some terabytes of storage, and that’s roughly 150k flash games and 26k flash animations.
I’m set for about 3 life times with games 😂
@Vile Disturbance 🇷🇺 🫡
my savior! i'm just getting into emulation and this guide helped so much.
I finally set up Delta emu, thanks for linking all the bios and firmware files
thanks man. this video was perfect. u got straight to the point and instructions were clear as day.
I can’t wait to try this I always wanted to play my favourite games on the ds I used to play for such a long time
Much love.
Thank you. Much Love :)
this man is the goat, thanks alot for the really well done and straightforward tutorial :)
Literally perfect great step by step tutorial
Good video! Enjoyed it at work
Glad you enjoyed it! I really appreciate it man.
thank you so much for the tutorial!! super easy to follow :)
This saved me so much trouble!! Thank you :D
thank you so much, im not very tech savvy, but this was very easy to follow
thanks! I've always loved the Castlevania games but up until I watched someone play Dawn of Sorrow on youtube on their DS, I never really knew how much I wanted to play that castlevania game!
I own a real DS and was going to buy a copy of Heartgold, but those are like 120 bucks. You just saved me so much money. lol Thank you!
dude thank you so much you could not have helped me more with this :D
Thanks man! Your the best!
Man you started making me cackle with the whole "Not promoting" and "Educational purposes" lines lmao
amazing, i love you (for educational purposes)
4:11 It's cool! To be fair these DS games are becoming lost media so I don't think it's a big deal at all, I mean it is the only way to play it these days
Great tutorial, cheers!
I noticed you have a very similar speech to Isaac Arthurs, never heard anyone else like that before!
i have a problem with mine its slow and lagging i am not sure how to fix this
amazing guide thank you!
Əla video, çox sağol ❤️
Hey everyone, just a heads up for those who are currently playing on Melonds! I learned the hard way when I went to try and organize my folder to have all my SAV files in it, going back to the emulator start up all of the NDS files do not find the SAV files so it acts as if you've never played the games yet. You have to restart and you lose your saved data. I was deep into Soul Silver but now I lost everything. Just a heads up for those who think the files piled up is an eyesore and you wanted to organize them. DON"T!

GREAT VIDEO SUPER HELPFUL
thank u bro it actually works
helpful video thanks man
Great tutorial, thx!
Dolphin RetroArch and MelonDS are the kings of emulation
Onggg
youre an angel. thanks man
Very nice video!
Great Tutorial Thanks
Bro thank you so much 🙏 😢
thank you super helpful :)
really appriciate you bro thank you
Why dose mine keep saying ds arm9 bios was not found check ur emu settings
Thanks for this great video
i fucking love you man
when i download the bios files, its in the for of a .7z file. How can i fix this?
works the same as any other zip file
when i try to download the bios & firmware, it doesn’t do a zip. it downloads just a normal file that just contains a bunch of random, weird characters. Anyone know why?
Everytime i try to download the bios & firmware, it doesnt seem to download correctly or allow me to rename files/open them/etc. Everything else on my MelonDS is working (like configuring keys & whatnot) but I'm at a loss with the addtl. downloads. I've tried the website you linked and a few others, and i have 7zip downloaded. I dont know what to do :(
im new to melonds, ive heard from many people it doesnt use bios anymore that could be ur problem
Is there a way to use the emulator while the window is inactive? and do you know if there is a way to have the top and bottom screens be split into two different windows?
Thank you so much !!!
Thanks so much man.
Cheers mate!
There is no sound when I play. Also how do I do the settings/controls like you did and how do save (is it automaticly)?
Have you figured out how to fix the sound?
thankyou very clear
I mirror what you do step by step but when I try to launch the game melonds just crashes instantly, im so confused as to what could have gone wrong :/
It's a bad emulator, that's why it sucks, I've tried playing Pokemon with it and the sound is bad, and the fps count also sucks, drastic is better.
@@-originalLemon- is there drastic for pc? is it fast?
@@gior987 Drastic is only for android, if you want to play on pc you need an android emulator
On my end it seems to have a stutter on games and the audio is bad. Any suggestions?
If you’re still having problems, check the audio settings. Mess around with them for a bit and if the problem still persists your pc/laptop may not be powerful enough. If that’s the case, use desmume, it’s a lighter program but you’ll miss out on online multiplayer.
Do you know any other ways to increase performance? I can run most 3DS games on Citra at 2 to 3x res but melonDS lags at 1x res , I'm using OpenGL and I'm playing Sonic Rush (Edit 1: MKDS is running much better I'm mostly getting 60 FPS at 4x res) (Edit 2: I'm using Retroarch now it is running much better now consistent 60 fps at 3x res)
Would it be possible to install Melon on an actual Nintendo DS Lite (modded/using a flash cart and sd card ofc) in order to play DSI titles through it?
Not sure if anyone will notice my comment, but I need some help.
I install the game exactly as explained in the video, but I am unable to save the game either as a save file or save state.
I am unsure what additional steps are needed to save the DS games, or if there is some fault with installation.
I haven’t downloaded yet but I will coment a solution once I figure out for u
Is there a way to toggle speed up? So i dont need to press and hold thr button. I only need to press it once? Please help thanks
I seem to have a problem. While the 3d elements look fantastic 2d elements are far lower quality than the 3d ones. Example: In Pokémon the environment looks high res but the characters and Pokémon itself are rather low res. Not unbearably so but very noticeable any ideas on how to fix this.
the files download as .7z onto my computer by default. is there a way to download them as a normal zip file without having to get 7zip?
@@deadrat i downloaded 7zip about 2 days after this when i found out 7zip was free
@@gigaswardblade7261 oh cool
Call me dumb but I’m tryna play Pokémon platinum and I’m on the part where the prof tells me about the control setting and stuff but i don’t need that info anymore and when I try to scroll down to the option where it says no more info needed I can’t I tried every button but it seems as if I can’t scroll
When I click on OpenGL, the emulator closes, what do I do?
In Phantom Hourglass you need to fold the DS in order to solve a puzzle. How do I emulate that?
You know what you gotta do now man😤
I have a question. How do I update the emulator to the latest version?
Mine doesn't work. Crashes ANY time I load a rom. Please explain.
My Select and Start buttons dont work, no matter what i select them as. any help?
you are the most cool and amazing person ever, you just earned a sub!
please, anyone, i sold my 3ds 4 or 5 years ago but just came across all my pokemon games i thought I lost is their some kind of accessory i can buy to play original ds and 3ds cartridges on my pc instead of forking out on 3ds all over again please help 🙏
preciate it fam
Can someone help me with this when trying to configure my controller when I try and select my joysticks it will go to button 12 can anyone help me
I have an issue, I don't get how to save my game even when I go to file and go to save state it says save state failed.
How do you save in game. I can't find the option for it
u know how i can setup the camera in melonDS for games like warioware snapped, DSi camera, etc.
can someone help me ?? i have a problem with it i did exactly the same than in the video but when i start the game on Melon it instant shut down idk whyy
I likewise keep running into the same issue. It sucks that seems to be very little information out there on this or on 3DS Emulation in general (that wasn't from years & years ago)
@@xIceman9362x yeah so I changed of emu and Pokémon game try to play on « citra » very easy to config it and it work perfectly
Is it possible to play with another player who has this emulator on their PC by connecting?
thanks man
love u thank u
I have a problem with the audio playing Inamuza Eleven 2
how do you use The stylus without needing to use the mouse?
does this work on android? it shows in the app store but as early access. trying to find a good ds emulator to run gen 4 pokemon games but all seem to bug really bad at multiple points.
I want to know how to change the time of this on Android.
100/10
1:49 the text on the screen says the opposite of what you're saying?? 🤨
Any viruses? I’m really trying to find out for me and my friends.
Just for the record Vimm's Lair is pretty much dead in terms of Nintendo Stuff as Nintendo went after it recently so don't bother going there.
thanks! :)
btw sharing bios files are not allowed pretty sure
thank you so much
any reason why i get a white screen everytime i try to run the firmware or run a game? i feel a little bit lost
same for me any solution you found?
it plays pokemon but Zelda game doesnt work its just a white screen
@@wadehowlett66 I just used desmume
How do I trade pokemon from soulsiver to heart gold using the same wifi? (Or other way i don't know)

Mine looks like this can you make a video showing how to make the cheat codes work
