Installing the Game

You can download the game by going to our GitHub & clicking the latest release

Currently, we only support:

• melonDS Desktop (Windows/Linux/MacOS)
• melonDS Android (Android)
• Console (DS / DSi / 3DS) via TWiLight Menu++

Other versions of melonDS may work, but are untested.

Other flashcard launchers may work, but are untested.

melonDS (Desktop)

1. Download persona-3-dual.nds and sdcard.img.zip from the latest release, & decompress sdcard.img.zip
2. In melonDS, go to Settings → DLDI and enable DLDI.
3. Set the SD card image path to the generated sdcard.img.

Do NOT enable “Sync SD card to folder”. This will wipe the contents of the folder!

Now, you can open melonDS and load the persona-3-dual.nds ROM!

melonDS (Android)

Android support is experimental. Some odd behaviour may occur throughout your gameplay.

Ensure that you use melonDualDS v0.7.0.rc3 Hotfix 2 or newer.

1. Download persona-3-dual.nds and data.zip from the latest release, & decompress data.zip
2. In melonDS, go to Settings → System and disable JIT (Enable JIT should be unchecked).
3. In melonDS, go to Settings → System and enable DLDI / Homebrew SD. Then, set the SD folder to your extracted data folder.

Now, you can open melonDS and load the persona-3-dual.nds ROM!

NOTE: It will take a little bit of time to load into the main menu

Console (DS / DSi / 3DS)

Ensure you have the latest version of TWiLight Menu++.

1. Download persona-3-dual.nds and data.zip from the latest release, & decompress data.zip
2. On your SD card, navigate to your /roms/nds/ folder (or equivalent).
3. Copy persona-3-dual.nds and the entire /data folder into that directory:

   /roms/nds/
   ├── persona-3-dual.nds
   └── data/
       ├── music/
       ├── video/
       └── ...

4. TWiLight Menu++ on flashcart (R4-type gamecard): In settings, ensure

• DLDI access is set to ARM9
• Game Loader is set to nds-bootstrap

If you don’t see these options, navigate between different settings pages using L/R. These should already be the default options.

5. TWiLight Menu++ on firmware (DSi/3DS): In settings, ensure

• TWiLight Menu++ is set to run in DSi mode

6. Launch the game through TWiLight Menu++ as normal.

FAQs

Do you support melonDS on Android?

We have experimental Android support. See above for more details.

(melonDS) Launching the game results in a white screen!

Ensure that you have JIT turned off in settings (Enable JIT should be unchecked).

(Console) I’ve launched the game on my game console & have gotten a save error!

We’ve noticed that Windows will sometimes decompress the data.zip folder into another data folder.

data/
 └── data/
     ├── music
     ├── environments
     ├── ...

This is incorrect! Make sure you only have one data folder

data/
 ├── music
 ├── environments
 ├── ...

Also, make sure you are running the latest version of TWiLight Menu++ & have set the correct settings

(DSi/3DS) I cannot find DLDI settings!

DLDI settings are only on flashcarts (R4-type game cards) running TWiLight Menu++. See above for more details.
