This functions the same as input config, but pertains to hotkeys, which are like special buttons controlling the emulator's features (for example, fullscreen, closing the lid, playing a microphone sample. And joystick mappings can have both a button/hat direction and axis assigned mapping one type will leave the other mapping type intact (for example mapping a button leaves the axis mapping intact). Key mappings can also be cleared by pressing Backspace, just like for joystick mappings. Joystick mappings can also be cleared by pressing Backspace.Īs of 0.8.1, it is possible to map keys with modifiers (Ctrl+Z, Shift+Q, Ctrl+Alt+K.). You can press Escape to cancel the mapping process, leaving the previous mapping unchanged.

To map a button, click it, then press the desired key or joystick button. This is where you map keyboard and joystick input. Note that if your firmware comes from a DSi or 3DS, you should keep this enabled. Boot game directly: when loading a ROM, this will run the ROM directly instead of running the 'Nintendo DS' boot screen.Once that is done, you can launch melonDS and set it up. To obtain the DSi BIOS and firmware, you can use this dumper and to dump the DSi NAND (must include the nocash footer), you can use dumpTool. To get the DSi BIOS, firmware and NAND image, you need these files: DSi EmulationĪs of melonDS 0.9, melonDS can also emulate the DSi.

You can dump these files from a DS/DSi/3DS with this dumper by running it on a flashcart.ĭSi/3DS DS-mode firmwares are not bootable. You can then configure the BIOS and Firmware by going to Emu Settings -> DS-mode and then navigate to the paths of each file. So, you will need to obtain those: DS Emulation We haven't gotten around to making alternate BIOS/firmware yet. If you still need something, don't hesitate to ask on our forums! Getting started with melonDSįirst of all, melonDS requires BIOS and firmware dumps from a DS or if you want to emulate the DSi, melonDS requires the BIOS, firmware and NAND image.

This page contains all the information you may need to get melonDS going.
