#### Nintendo DS and DSi emulator

melonDS aims at providing fast and accurate Nintendo DS emulation. While it is still a work in progress, it has a pretty solid set of features:

* Nearly complete core (CPU, video, audio, ...)
* OpenGL renderer, 3D upscaling
* RTC, microphone, lid close/open
* Joystick support
* Savestates
* Various display position/sizing/rotation modes
* Work-in-progress Wi-Fi emulation for online connectivity and local multiplayer
* Experimental emulation of the Nintendo DSi
* and more are planned!

**Note:** BIOS and firmware files dumped from a real DS or DSi console are required to use melonDS.
