I don't understand melon ds why is so lag on my computer my computer handle GameCube and wii and why no my ds.

It's great that this emulator still exists. I used it years ago, but somehow it disappeared into obscurity. But it's nice that it's being further developed.

Possibly because it's accuracy focused and more demanding than one would expect.

This emulator seems to have received a new update a few minutes ago.

Shouldn't be like that, details of your PC?
If you tried to play a DSi game, the dev said that DSi emulation is heavier than normal DS emulation.
Also, could be graphics drivers, too much upscaling, shaders, some bug on the emulator, etc.
