melonDS is the Android adaptation of this powerful Nintendo DS emulator that's both free and open source. With it, you can enjoy the entire catalog of this popular handheld console from the comfort of your Android device. However, it's important to note that the app does not have ROMs. You need to extract any game you want to play from your own cartridge or download it on your own.

One of the great things about melonDS compared to other emulators is how easy it is to start playing once you've installed it. All you have to do is choose the folder where your ROMs are stored, and you'll instantly see the list with all the available games. Just tap on any one of them to start playing. It's as easy as that —no need to waste any time messing around with the setup options.

When it comes to Android emulation, one of the most headache-inducing aspects is usually the controls. In melonDS you can customize them however you want. By default, you'll see them at the bottom of the screen, with an arrangement similar to the one you'd find on the console. However, you can change and adjust them to suit your needs from the options menu. You can even use a Bluetooth gamepad if you have one.

melonDS is a powerful Nintendo DS emulator for Android that gives you access to one of the best video game catalogs in history on your smartphone or tablet. Plus, the compatibility list is huge, with almost all games working perfectly.

It is the best DS emulator for Android along with Drastic and Lemuroid, although Lemuroid is a multi-emulator.
