Performance

Performance is solid on 64 bit devices with thread rendering and JIT enabled, and should run at full speed on flagship devices. Performance on older devices, specially 32 bit devices, is very poor due to the lack of JIT support.

Integration with third party frontends

It's possible to launch melonDS from third part frontends. For that, you simply need to call the emulation activity with the absolute path to the ROM file. The parameters are the following:

Package name: me.magnum.melonds
Activity name: me.magnum.melonds.ui.emulator.EmulatorActivity
Parameters:
- PATH - a string with the absolute path to the NDS ROM (ZIP files are supported)
