I may have released v1.4 too soon... sorry! There were some major problems that have now been fixed:

• resetting games didn't work at all
• after a game was launched for Cemu or RPCS3 it couldn't be launched again (without restarting Nostlan)
• controller button mapping wasn't working as specified
• when loading an emulator without a game the controller was not being disabled from interacting with Nostlan

I've deleted the v1.4 builds in shame.

melonDS will now be the default DS emulator supported by Nostlan. You can still use DeSmuME, macOS users have to because melonDS isn't available on macOS. Existing users of Nostlan on Windows and Linux can switch from DeSmuME to melonDS by following these steps:

• edit your preferences file, replace any instance of the word DeSmuME with melonDS

{
  "ds": {
    ...
    "emu": "melonDS",
    "libs": [
      "D:/emu/melonDS/GAMES"
    ]
  }
}

• rename your DeSmuME folder to melonDS accordingly
• windows users, delete your BIN folder and make a new one with melonDS.exe inside

    ├─┬ 📁 melonDS
    │ ├─┬ 📁 BIN
    │ │ └── 🎮 melonDS.exe
    │ └─┬ 📁 GAMES
    │   ├── 💿 Mario & Luigi - Partners in Time.nds
    │   └── 💿 Mario & Luigi - Partners in Time.sav

Hi my name is Quinton and this is the part where I beg you for money! Even though I decided to make this project open source and free to use, it still took a lot of work and a long time to develop. If you appreciate my work so far and will continue to use Nostlan please donate an amount of your choosing. If everyone that downloads this update gave me even $1 I would really appreciate it. Cloud saving is coming soon for Patreon supporters. Thank you!
