Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - Melon Mix

melonDS, sorta

The goal of this project is to turn "Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days" into a playable PC game, with a single screen and controls compatible with a regular controller.

This is basically melonDS, but with some modifications made specifically to improve this specific game experience. Any issues you have with KHDays Melon Mix should be reported in this same repository, and not in melonDS repository.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - Melon Mix v0.2.1

How to use

You need an original copy of "Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days" in order to dump it into a NDS file. Place that file inside a rom folder, next to the executable, and name it game.nds. Only then you will be able to use the emulator properly.

Steam Deck

The AppImage build is compatible with the Steam Deck. In order to use it, download the AppImage build, extract the zip, right click the AppImage and go to "Properties". Then go to the "Permissions" tab and check the "Allow executing file as program" checkbox.

How to build

Linux

1. Install dependencies:

   • Ubuntu 22.04: sudo apt install cmake extra-cmake-modules libcurl4-gnutls-dev libpcap0.8-dev libsdl2-dev qtbase5-dev qtbase5-private-dev qtmultimedia5-dev libslirp-dev libarchive-dev libzstd-dev
   • Older Ubuntu: sudo apt install cmake extra-cmake-modules libcurl4-gnutls-dev libpcap0.8-dev libsdl2-dev qt5-default qtbase5-private-dev qtmultimedia5-dev libslirp-dev libarchive-dev libzstd-dev
   • Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S base-devel cmake extra-cmake-modules git libpcap sdl2 qt5-base qt5-multimedia libslirp libarchive zstd

2. Download the KHDays MM repository and prepare:

   git clone https://github.com/vitor251093/KHDays_FM
   cd KHDays_FM

3. Compile:

   cmake -B build
   cmake --build build -j$(nproc --all)

Windows

1. Install MSYS2
2. Open the MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit terminal
3. Update the packages using pacman -Syu and reopen the terminal if it asks you to
4. Install git to clone the repository

   pacman -S git

5. Download the KHDays MM repository and prepare:

   git clone https://github.com/vitor251093/KHDays_FM
   cd KHDays_FM

Dynamic builds (with DLLs)

5. Install dependencies: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-{cmake,SDL2,toolchain,qt5-base,qt5-svg,qt5-multimedia,qt5-tools,libslirp,libarchive,zstd}
6. Compile:

   cmake -B build
   cmake --build build
   cd build
   ../tools/msys-dist.sh

If everything went well, KHDays MM and the libraries it needs should now be in the dist folder.

Static builds (without DLLs, standalone executable)

5. Install dependencies: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-{cmake,SDL2,toolchain,qt5-static,libslirp,libarchive,zstd}
6. Compile:

   cmake -B build -DBUILD_STATIC=ON -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/mingw64/qt5-static
   cmake --build build

If everything went well, khDaysMM should now be in the build folder.

macOS

1. Install the Homebrew Package Manager
2. Install dependencies: brew install git pkg-config cmake sdl2 qt@6 libslirp libarchive zstd
3. Download the KHDays MM repository and prepare:

   git clone https://github.com/vitor251093/KHDays_FM
   cd KHDays_FM

4. Compile:

   cmake -B build -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$(brew --prefix qt@6);$(brew --prefix libarchive)" -DUSE_QT6=ON
   cmake --build build -j$(sysctl -n hw.logicalcpu)

If everything went well, khDaysMM.app should now be in the build directory.

Self-contained app bundle

If you want an app bundle that can be distributed to other computers without needing to install dependencies through Homebrew, you can additionally run ../tools/mac-bundle.rb khDaysMM.app after the build is completed, or add -DMACOS_BUNDLE_LIBS=ON to the first CMake command.
