<p>
melonDS aims at providing fast and accurate Nintendo DS emulation. While it is still a work in progress, it has a pretty solid set of features.
</p>
<ul>
<li>Nearly complete core (CPU, video, audio, ...)</li>
<li>OpenGL renderer, 3D upscaling</li>
<li>RTC, microphone, lid close/open</li>
<li>Joystick support</li>
<li>Savestates</li>
<li>Various display position/sizing/rotations modes</li>
<li>Work-in-progress Wi-Fi emulation for online connectivity and local multiplayer</li>
<li>Experimental emulation of the Nintendo DSi</li>
<li>...and even more is planned!</li>
</ul>
