• Popular Nintendo DS emulator melonDS just released version 1.0.
• New features include better upscaling, local co-op, and multi-window support.
• It’s available now for PC, Linux, and Mac, but there is no news about an Android version yet.

The popular Nintendo DS emulator melonDS just hit version 1.0, with a ton of new features and optimizations. This is one of the few DS emulators that’s still under active development, and it may soon leap ahead of long-established emulators like DraStic and DeSmuME.
