Nintendo DS emulators: Difference between revisions

Emulators: Updating and organizing the recommendation of mobile Nintendo DS emulators. As a previous user of melonDS DS that is currently maining WatermelonDS (form. melonDualDS), which has been well-developed, there is no reason for any dual-screen user to go back to any NDS libretro cores. DraStic still recommended for low-end devices.

It can also boot DSiWare games directly, and has RetroAchievements support.</ref>
