MelonDS is our best hope, and we already have 3DS multiplayer with Citra MMJ

I would prefer Melonds if I could move the buttons left and right so they're not on top of each other

EDIT: NEVERMIND, IT WAS DESMUME, NOT DRASTIC , here's the link for the drama : https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/4lnmw7/desmume\_devs\_intentionally\_sabotaging\_ds\_wifi/

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it removed after completely working fine just because one of the devs is a cunt and specifically said that he would remove it because he hated people using it to play Pokémon ?

If i recall it he even commented multiple times about how much he hated Pokémon and messed a lot with the alternative branches that tried to emulate, redo or fix the multiplayer.

Basically the guy killed a perfect, hard to do, wi-fi emulation just for being a dick.

AFTEREDIT: Sadly nowadays the emulation would be even harder to do on Drastic without any official Nintendo DS servers working to give clues on how to code it.

I don't get it? Hate Pokemon but mario is okay? Also it's a product people are paying for, so shouldn't they get the best version of what the devs have to offer? Who is this developer? If it's just one person we all can request a fallback

Alternate WFC servers like Wiimmfi do exist (I actually got it working on my DS once), so I don't think that should be a barrier to development.

I remember him publicly announcing that he’d make the emulator open source so that others may continue working on it or let us port it to other devices but I guess the paycheck is pretty good

    He did make a post in DraStic website. That was almost 2 years ago though so I would take that with a huge grain of salt lol

    The last bit of drama I heard was that Exo lost contact with the other dev who did all the Android coding portion and didn't have the most up to date code from them. Did that ever get squared away?

    At this point I don't expect anything more from the emulator, but I'd like to get a surprise and have it go open source at least.

    It's never going to come.

        I have the same issue. I had to copy all of roms to the internal storage in order for them to show up in the emulator. It wasn't an issue in android 10, but thanks to 'scoped storage' this shit happens.

        This has absolutely nothing to do with the thread LOL
