📜️ "A libre Nintendo 3DS emulator with widescreen support" 📜️
Experimental widescreen build of melonDS that expands DS 3D viewports while keeping 2D layers and the touchscreen at native proportions.
DS games in widescreen — with an optional phone touchscreen and controller. Enjoy DS games like never before.
WideMelon is a DS emulator built from melonDS that gives supported games a genuinely wider 3D view. It reveals more of the game world at the sides while keeping menus, sprites, videos, and the touchscreen at their original proportions.
For a more console-like setup, WideMelon can also send the bottom screen to your phone and use it as a touch controller. No separate mobile app is needed: scan the QR code and play from your phone's browser.
Highlights
✅️ True widescreen 3D views from native 4:3 through 32:9.
✅️ Unstretched 2D interfaces, menus, sprites, videos, and touchscreen content.
✅️ Optional phone bottom screen, touch input, and customizable DS controls.
✅️ Render scales from 1× to 8×, fullscreen, and integer scaling.
✅️ Recent-ROM home screen, save states, drag and drop, and familiar melonDS tools.
✅️ Separate configuration and saves from a standard melonDS installation.

⚙️ Installation à partir du binaire
📦️ Installation (méthode alternative) à partir du binaire au format AppImage :
• Un binaire au format AppImage est disponible. Après l'avoir rendu exécutable (clic droit sous votre gestionnaire de fichier), il pourra être exécuté d'un seul clic sur son livrable.
💡 Nota :
• Si vous avez installé au préalable l'outil [AppManager] OU [AppImageLauncher] (des outils simples et facilement installables par AppImage ou depuis les dépôts de votre distribution), ils vous permettrons de centraliser (dans un répertoire) vos exécutables AppImage et de les rendre visibles par vos lanceurs habituels. AppManager offre en plus une interface de gestion (lancement, mise à jour, suppression) de ces livrables.
• [The Linux Experiment] compare les différents formats (Snaps vs Flatpaks vs Appimages) en novembre 2023.
🚀️ LANCEMENT DE L'ÉMULATEUR
▸ AppImage :
• Si vous l'avez installé à partir d'un paquet AppImage et de l'outil [AppManager] OU [AppImageLauncher] (des outils simples et facilement installables par AppImage ou depuis les dépôts de votre distribution) : [Alt+F2] puis saisissez le nom de l'application.
• Si vous installé le jeu à partir d'un paquet AppImage et ne souhaitez pas utiliser ces outils : après avoir téléchargé votre fichier AppImage et l'avoir rendu exécutable (clic droit sous votre gestionnaire de fichier), cliquez sur ce livrable.
