;[[melonDS]]: Biggest difference is melonDS can use Wifi Wi-Fi and run [[DSiWare]] games.<ref name="melonDSi">http://melonds.kuribo64.net/comments.php?id=94</ref><ref name="progress on DSi">http://melonds.kuribo64.net/comments.php?id=99&p</ref>, the latest version can now boot into the firmware and load some DSiWare through the [[NAND]], but full "DSi mode" support for retail games is still unsupported. melonDS requires DS bios to function.
In terms of being user-friendly, options in melonDS are more simplified. Has similar DS game compatibility as DeSmuME. Both can run games at a higher internal resolution (sharper 3D objects). Both can open roms inside an archive (zip, rar, 7z). Both can display the two screens in a variety of ways, but melonDS has a hybrid mode: https://i.imgur.com/S73Eb4m.jpg
While the developers of [[No$GBA]] had documented the Wi-Fi capabilities first, melonDS is the first and only emulator that's gotten as far as it has and it has been found to work reasonably well with a handful of games.
melonDS does not have custom file paths yet (all saves will be created where the rom is). Switching to opengl in core options may give a performance boost.
