What is the best Nintendo DS emulator for GNU/Linux systems?

TanMasked · Jan 28, 2024

I wanna emulate a couple of NDS games on my GNU/Linux system (I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.3 (with Ubuntu Pro enabled.)) Does anyone know what would be the best emulator to use?

melonDS works best for most, if not, all DS games.

Can you share a link to the official webpage for it?

I should've told you this a while back, but for some reason, the emulator isn't running.

Even though I enabled executing of the program in the Permissions tab, the emulator won't boot up.

Use chmod +x melonDS and then use ./melonDS in terminal
