melonDS APK (Latest Version v2.0.1 PS) for Android

2.0.1 PS Android 7.0+

Editor's Review

DS emulators on Android are either slow or a pain to set up. This unofficial melonDS port fixes both. I loaded a Pokémon game, and the performance was smooth with no audio crackling. The fast-forward feature let me breeze through lengthy cutscenes, and the save states saved me from hunting for in-game save points. The controller layout customization is genuinely useful—I built a different layout for a platformer and a puzzle game, each with only the buttons I needed.
