Sudden stuttering after years of use

I’ve been using MelonDS for a long time with absolutely no issues. Suddenly every game I open stutters to the point of being unplayable. I have a 2070 and an i7-9700K CPU, and Melon never had issues before. I can’t even thing of what changed, I can still run games like Marvel Rivals and Elden Ring on my computer just fine, what’s going on?

I tried updating to a nightly build with no luck, and desmume also had some stuttering. I’ve tried disabling audio sync and frame limit. This became a problem so suddenly, what can I do to trouble shoot?

FPS rate won't sit in place

Hello everybody, new user here, trying to play Pokémon Black, but the FPS won't stop lowering and that makes the game a chore to play. I know Pokémon DS games run at 30 FPS, but outside of 60, the game won't run any smooth. What can I do? Are the BIOS needed, even if the game already runs?

Also, the JIT thing skyrockets the FPS to above 150, but that's still not ideal.

If that's a dumb question, I apologise.

The audio got very weird when using Fast-forward

Been using the app perfectly fine until recently when I notice this audio problem. Happened to my Pixel 8 pro and Galaxy S25... anyone else got this issue/fixed it? Is this the app issue or maybe the phone system update caused this?

Downloaded melonds off the .org site, am I screwed?

Hello,

When I first downloaded melonds a while ago I downloaded it off the .org site and not the kuribo64 one. Is the .org just there to get people to click and farm ad revenue or is it sending out a version with some sort of malicious intent? Any ideas or knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

Hi y'all! I have a settings problem

So I got MelonDS a while ago and would play on and off because I was busy, during those on and off, I would find myself having to re do all the graphics, rotations, sounds and even control settings, it was tedious but not bad. The other day I opened melon and I noticed that the game I was playing wasn't in recent, I found the rom in my files and put it in only to find that it reset my entire save file. So I deleted melon and want to try again, maybe I had a faulty version, I don't want to download until I know exactly whats wrong and what I should do. So please let me know why this keeps happening! also please tell me if there is anyway to keep the roms in the emulator without having to go into recents, I saw some other emulators able to access the roms directly in the menu when you open it up and I want to know how to do that! Good day to all!

Just a little more hustle please

I noticed some improvements when playing Golden Sun Dark Dawn on Melon DS since last week from the new update. Basically the sound was choppy on 2x resolution with Open GL and it was unplayable. The new update fixed that issue but as of now, the 3D models at some instances of the game such as in battle, are not quite clear even at 3x or higher.

I hope this is something that can be achieved on this emulator in contrast to DraStic since the difference is quite clear.

Just for the info my device is S24 FE.

How to get certain Pokemon in platinum

So recently I started playing Pokemon platinum for the first time using the emulator, I pre chose my team online but without realizing it, two of the ones I chose(murkrow and Misdreavus) weren't in platinum, so can you trade Pokemon from a physical copy of a game like soul silver into my save on the rom or even use a cheat to put them in my save?

How can I evolve trade evolutions?

Title is self explanatory. I ask because I heard you can evolve trade evolutions with the Universal Randomizer but how can you do that with MelonDS?
