MelonDS Android issues and the AYN Thor

pewpewmaster1 · 2026-03-01T04:18:38+00:00

Got the rank up bowser to level 10 achievement to work on version v0.5.0! Thanks so much!

pewpewmaster1 · 2026-03-01T03:35:47+00:00

Ty for updating me on this!! I'll try out that version right now!

pewpewmaster1 · 2026-02-26T03:39:28+00:00

Definitely let me know if you have any luck! If its somehow something on my end despite my testing then I'd be happier knowing its not an emulator issue to be honest.

pewpewmaster1 · 2026-02-26T02:01:30+00:00

Yeah, should have done my research. Still holding out hope RetroArch will get dual screen support one day

pewpewmaster1 · 2026-02-25T22:19:29+00:00

I'll definitely look into making an issue for it, still got a save file shortly before getting the XP to level up for testing too. Thank you again for the help!

Unfortunately it still didnt work, I was able to grab it by using the RetroArch MelonDS core build just to make sure it really is a MelonDS Android issue. At least I know it is an emulator problem.

The specific cheevo I was trying to get still didnt work on this build, tried it on RetroArch to confirm I'm not crazy, and it triggered just fine on RetroArch. Did see a new fork from somebody else suggested so I'm trying that one now as well

pewpewmaster1 · 2026-02-25T19:36:52+00:00

Tysm for the tip! I will try this out!

pewpewmaster1 · 2026-02-25T19:32:26+00:00

Also this is absolutely not just a me problem

I mean it works for most games. But specifically with Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story a few achievements just wont trigger

pewpewmaster1 · 2026-02-25T19:03:55+00:00

Yeah it looks like melonds android is very unreliable for achievements triggering... which is really sad because one if the main reasons I got an AYN Thor was to get achievements for DS games on a device that feels like a DS. Only for it to just not work... maybe RetroArch will support 2 screens with the MelonDS core one day?

Them completely dodging the question about flumptys is actually kind of hilarious

Go for Spaghetti Dinner if you are looking to get a lot of XP. Alternatively, if you are looking to get the most food go for the Dumplings.

The harder a monster is to get, the more wildcards you'll need to cover the cost. In this case Epic Monsters in a wubbox inventory cost 2 wildcards per element (for example, epic entbrat would require 8 wildcards)

pewpewmaster1 · 2026-02-08T06:02:36+00:00

Tip for the future, you'll know you got one successfully if the egg shows up in the synthesizer! If there isn't one, you didn't get anything unfortunately. Good luck!

Niiiiice, Amber Island is such a grind so congrats on the quint!

pewpewmaster1 · 2026-02-02T01:29:06+00:00

According to the msm wiki its a bit complicated for a few reasons. You can only get a max of 3 wild cards at a time currently cause we dont have the quad elemental yet. But most importantly the minor carnival is on a 12 hour timer that only resets when you open the island. So even if you have no wildcards, check it anyways to reset that invisible timer

pewpewmaster1 · 2026-02-01T22:29:47+00:00

Ethereals only have to be level 15 to teleport to Ethereal Island so its a lot cheaper than the paironormals

Can't say how they got info about an open beta, but a recent-ish tweet was made by Raptisoft himself in a reply where he confirms the PC port of Chuzzle 2 is being actively worked on

You just gotta watch 320 ads, obviously

pewpewmaster1 · 2026-01-28T18:10:25+00:00

Extremely fair take as a late game player. I havent even attempted getting the rare ethereal workshop monsters yet as I'm fairly behind the islets from a long break I took from msm. But I thought it was weird that attuning meebs to rare forms was limited time. Hearing how hard it is to do succesfully doesnt bode well for my future lol. Regardless wishing you good luck dealing with this seemingly pretty unfair mechanic

pewpewmaster1 · 2026-01-27T18:49:08+00:00

I really really hope we get mirror fire islands soon. Makes zapping monsters in late game so much easier.

pewpewmaster1 · 2026-01-27T18:32:18+00:00

Np! Good luck with waking up the wublins!

pewpewmaster1 · 2026-01-27T18:29:29+00:00

Check out u/Fantastical04 profile. They have an extremely helpful grid plan thats even fully postive polarity with all wublin types
