Title: melonDS 0.8.2 released
Post by: KaZudra on June 26, 2019, 03:50:52 PM
Now plays Castlevania titles with enhancements just fine (aside from some minor audio cracking on PoR), the 3D and scaling elements look REALLY nice at 2x.

Does this emulator auto-adjust for specific games? I know that you had to do this manually with the Dualscreens emulator. It's a bit of a pain to readjust every time you want to play a different title.

There is an option for auto-adjust, but as for screen management it is a little barebones, but is workable.

Well it's not for the screen per se. There's something about Dualscreens that when loading a rom you have to set the emulator up in one of the options or the game won't play. I can't remember what that is unfortunately, but all I know is that it has nothing to do with the screen ratio. It could be ram or something else, it's been a long time  :P

I'm going to go on a limb and guess that was Save format? I remember PoR not wanting to work unless it was a specific format.
MelonDS doesn't have this issue, once you setup the bios and firmware it's pretty much plug'n'play. I felt I should post it's release simply because No$GBA is fast but inaccurate and Desmume is accurate but slow.

That could very well be it. And it was always a hassle to set it every time I wanted to play a game. The bigger hassle was knowing what to set it to.

Sweet!
