App Features

  • Switchable Themes
    Prefer a darker look or something lighter? melonDS gives you control over the visual style, letting you choose a theme that matches your mood or environment.

  • Custom Controller Layouts
    Don’t like where the buttons are? No problem—move, resize, and set up your controls the way you want. Pick backgrounds and layouts for each game, so everything feels just right.

  • Handy Fast-Forward
    Tired of long intros or dialogue you’ve seen a hundred times? Fast-forward zips past those slow moments, so you can focus on the fun stuff.

  • Save Anytime
    You can save your game anytime, not just at certain checkpoints. Need to pause and come back later? Just save your state and pick up where you left off, easy as pie.

    Want to use special codes to unlock features or make things a bit easier? melonDS supports Action Replay codes—just import your favorites.

  • Gamepad Compatibility
    If touch controls aren’t your thing, plug in or connect a Bluetooth gamepad and get that classic feel back in your hands.

To play, you’ll need your own ROMs and, for some systems, BIOS and firmware from your original devices. And if you’re running melonDS through BlueStacks, expect a flexible experience with everything easily at your fingertips.
