The work in progress known as Neon DS is still in its early stages, but it's showing more and more potential with every update as evidenced by version 0.2.0. This version has a new and improved 3D rendering scheme made possible by completely rewriting it using GLSL.

In order to run this emulator your system need to support OpenGL 2.0 or higher. The author seems to be concentrating on the visual aspect first as there is still no sound for this emulator yet.

Here are the changes in NeonDS 0.2.0:

* New 3D display engine using GLSL
* Video capture
* 2D background mosiac effect
* RTC
* NDS firmware settings
* Other emulator bug fixes

As always, check out the readme in the download before you start installing this emulator to your PC. Enjoy!
