Those of you who know your melonDS lore know that today is a special day. melonDS is 9 years old! ...hey, I don't control this. 9 is brown. I don't make the rules. Anyway, yeah. 9 years of melonDS. That's quite the achievement. Sometimes I don't realize it has been so long... - As far as I'm concerned, there hasn't been a lot -- 2025 has had a real shitty start for me. A lot of stuff came forward that has been really rough. On the flip side, it has also been the occasion to get a fresh start. I was told about IFS therapy in March, and I was able to get started. It has been intense, but so far it has been way more effective than previous attempts at therapy. I'm hopeful for 2026 to be a better year. I'm also going to hopefully get started with a new job which is looking pretty cool, so that's nice too. - As far as melonDS is concerned, I have several ideas. First of all, we'll release melonDS 1.1 pretty soon, with a nice bundle of fixes and improvements. I also have ideas for further releases. RTCom support, netplay, ... there's a lot of potential. I guess we can also look at Retroachivements, since that seems to be popular request. There's also the long-standing issues we should finally address, like the lack of upscaling in dual-screen 3D scenes. Basically, no shortage of things to do. It's just matter of actually doing them. You know how that goes... I also plan some upgrades to the site. I have some basic ideas for a homepage redesign, for updating the information that is presented, and presenting it in a nicer way... Some organization for the blog would be nice too, like splitting the posts into categories: release posts, technical shito, ... I also have something else in mind: adding in a wiki, to host all information related to melonDS. The FAQ, help pages specific to certain topics, maybe compatibility info, ... And maybe, just maybe, a screenshot section that isn't just a few outdated pics. Maybe that could go on the wiki too... - Regardless, happy birthday melonDS! And thank you all, you have helped make this possible!

Oggi è stato lunedì, e purtroppo, a quanto pare, è ormai pure novembre (…aiuto).

Negli ultimi giorni ci si accanisce sull’ennesima ondata di licenziamenti in Amazon. Immediatamente parte il coro rituale: “È colpa della IA?”. Pare che ormai qualsiasi taglio, in qualsiasi grande azienda, scateni la stessa domanda ossessiva. Il punto è che molti non hanno ancora capito la dinamica:

I can sum Witch Watch in a word: forgettable. As I sit down at my laptop to bang out this article, I remember little of the series, and I had finished watching the series a few days ago. It’s not that Witch Watch is terrible, that I remember of it. The story is a romantic...

If you read that title and thought “wait, there’s an Animal Crossing update!?” you’re not alone. Nintendo surprised me too this week by casually dropping the news on their website. On 15 January 2026, Nintendo will launch two major updates: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, and Animal Crossing 3.0 free version update... Why I won’t be playing the new Animal Crossing 3.0 Update in 2026 appeared first on Her Cozy Gaming.

There have been reports of melonDS 1.0 crashing at random when running multiple instances. This is kind of a problem, especially when local multiplayer is one of melonDS's selling points. So I went and tried to reproduce it. I could get the 1.0 and 1.0RC builds to crash just by having two instances open, even if they weren't running anything. But I couldn't get my dev build to crash. I thought, great, one of those cursed bugs that don't manifest when you try to debug them. I think our team knows all about this. Not having too many choices, I took the 1.0 release build and started hacking away at it with a hex editor. Basic idea being, if it crashes with no ROM loaded, the emulator core isn't the culprit, and there aren't that many places to look. So I could nop out function calls until it stopped crashing. In the end, I ended up rediscovering a bug that I had already fixed. The SDL joystick API isn't thread-safe. When running multiple emulator instances in 1.0, this API will get called from several different threads, since each instance gets its own emulation thread. I had already addressed this 2.5 months ago, by adding adequate locking. I guess at the time of 1.0, it slipped through the cracks due to its random nature, as with many threading-related bugs. Regardless, if you know your melonDS lore, you know what is coming soon. There will be a new release which will include this fix, among other fun shit. In the meantime, you can use the nightly builds.
