Comments on melonDS for Android

★★★★☆ Qwerty · Jun 5, 2026

Not bad, runs bios alright, but I prefer drastic ds

★★★★★ KREEK_KRAKY Sarabia · Aug 1, 2026

Love this, runs very smoothly and the sound isn't choppy like the other DS emulators, this is the best one I've played on

★★★★★ tyler Plaster · Jun 24, 2026

The best ds emulator out of all ds emulators, it supports ds and dsi, you can upscale the emulation screen, you can emulate having something in slot2, and It's just too good!

★★★★☆ sme64 · Aug 3, 2026

Works really good but when I have my finger on one of the buttons I can't put my other finger on the other button it just doesn't work I have to swipe to the button and it can get really annoying

★☆☆☆☆ Edgar Carrillo Aguilera · Aug 14, 2026

Can't run Pokémon ROMs. Get error message saying they could be corrupted. Bios and firmware files are there. Can play same ROMs on PC version of Melons with no issues. Shite

★★☆☆☆ Vipin Vindhyaraj · Jun 7, 2026

Not optimized for high-end devices Pokémon platinum runs like a turtle it's super slow and laggy constant fps drops make it almost unusable for me, gonna stick to drastic for now until these issues are gone

★☆☆☆☆ Trio De Sparrows · Jul 26, 2026

Black flashing on the screen and mute button didn't work. Definitely needs some work before I'd recommend this app to anyone. Not a good performer.

★☆☆☆☆ Serge Pelletier · Jul 15, 2026

Any game I have tried, regardless of the source, will not work. No rom can ever be found. But the games do work with NooDs and supernds emulators, so it's not the games or me.
