==Issues==<br />
The sole developer put the melonDS project on a [http://melonds.kuribo64.net/comments.php?id=42 hiatus on May 2018]. However, he has left this [http://melonds.kuribo64.net/comments.php?id=43 to-do list] for anyone who would wish to contribute to improving that emulator, which is still open-source. However, [http://melonds.kuribo64.net/comments.php?id=44 on July 2018] he announced that he was going to keep developing the emulator.<br />
<br />
==Getting Started==<br />
From the README on GitHub:<br />
<br />
:''melonDS requires BIOS/firmware copies from a DS. Files required:''<br />
:*''bios7.bin, 16KB: ARM7 BIOS''<br />
:*''bios9.bin, 4KB: ARM9 BIOS''<br />
:*''firmware.bin, 128/256/512KB: firmware''<br />
:''Firmware boot requires a firmware dump from an original DS or DS Lite. DS firmwares dumped from a DSi or 3DS aren't bootable and only contain configuration data, thus they are only suitable when booting games directly.''<br />
:''DS BIOS dumps from a 3DS can be used with no compatibility issues. DSi BIOS dumps should be usable too, provided they were dumped properly.''<br />
