melonds-ps2's Introduction

melonDS-PS2

PS2 port of MelonDS emulator, PoC, horrible performance.

I just wanted to see if i could port this in a day xD.

It remains to adapt the touch system and complete the sound integration with the AUDSRV

It just works with < 8MB ROMs

How to Use

melonDS requires BIOS/firmware copies from a DS. Files required:

  • bios7.bin, 16KB: ARM7 BIOS
  • bios9.bin, 4KB: ARM9 BIOS
  • firmware.bin, 128/256/512KB: firmware

Firmware boot requires a firmware dump from an original DS or DS Lite. DS firmwares dumped from a DSi or 3DS aren't bootable and only contain configuration data, thus they are only suitable when booting games directly.

Possible Firmware Sizes

  • 128KB: DSi/3DS DS-mode firmware (reduced size due to lacking bootcode)
  • 256KB: regular DS firmware
  • 512KB: iQue DS firmware

DS BIOS dumps from a DSi or 3DS can be used with no compatibility issues. DSi BIOS dumps (in DSi mode) are not compatible. Or maybe they are. I don't know.

How to Build

Linux:

Requires PS2DEV to compile. Directions for installing PS2DEV are found at PS2DEV

make all

How to Install

1- melonDS requires BIOS/firmware copies from a DS... Paste the bios7.bin, bios9.bin and firmware.bin next to the emulator (APPS/melonDS/) 2- Paste the games in a folder called "roms" next to the emulator (APPS/melonDS/roms/) 3- Paste the APPS and PLG folders in XEB+ folder to run it from XEB+ or just copy the melonDS folder somewhere

How to make it work

Well... I'm very sorry to said that I failed to make it run on real hardware (tested on DECKARD, SCPH-79001), but it works fine in PCSX2, so go test it there.
