Why? Because many games (like The World Ends With You ) rely on DS clock timings that only trigger correctly when booting through the firmware. This reduces crashes by 90%.
Set the to Vertical or Horizontal based on your preference.
In MelonDS, DSi emulation isn't just about loading a ROM; it requires a virtualized NAND (flash memory) to replicate the behavior of a real Nintendo DSi console.
When emulating a DSi, melonDS cannot simply run a game file ( .nds ) raw like a standard DS cartridge. It requires an exact virtual replica of this internal storage to manage file paths, save states, and system titles. The Mandatory DSi File Checklist nandbin melonds top
MelonDS can run DS games without BIOS files, but DSi emulation requires the BIOS, firmware, AND NAND image. Including BIOS files for DS-mode improves accuracy and compatibility.
By correctly implementing the nand.bin file, you unlock the full potential of the MelonDS emulator, making it the top choice for DSi emulation.

Have a specific NandBin custom build you recommend? Share your config in the emulation forums. Happy gaming!
The nand.bin file contains the DSi’s operating system, system settings, and installed DSiWare. To utilize DSi-specific features, melonDS requires four key files: (ARM7 BIOS) bios9.bin (ARM9 BIOS) firmware.bin (Firmware) nand.bin (Internal storage) Common "Top Screen" Issues and Solutions
: Digital titles purchased from the DSi Shop must be installed onto the NAND to function within the emulator . It requires an exact virtual replica of this
For melonDS, having a proper NAND dump is essential for "Console Mode." Without it, you are limited to "Direct Boot," which skips the iconic BIOS intro and can lead to compatibility issues with certain titles. Why "Top" Screen Configuration Matters
: This is the most popular choice for a "top screen focus." It places a large version of one screen (usually the top) on one side and a smaller version of the other screen on the opposite side. Emphasize Top : On the PC version, you can go to View > Screen Sizing > Emphasize Top
You need dsi_bios7.bin , dsi_bios9.bin , and the nand.bin file.
