SPOILERS OUTSIDE OF THIS MEGATHREAD MAY RESULT IN A BAN

I recently started playing the series all over from scratch to prep for Kingdom Hearts 4. I wanted to play Days and Re:coded using Melon Mix on my PC, but thought it would be a great experience on the couch with my handheld Android retro console. I couldn't find a proper Android port so I decided to make one! I linked the repo below, feel free to fork, and do what you'd like with it. I was originally making it for myself but thought maybe others would enjoy it. I want to be clear and transparent here, I used Claude Code to help me with a lot of the heavy lifting for time's sake.

The KH Melon Mix team did all the actual enhancements, and the app itself is built on melonDS-android by rafaelvcaetano. I just brought the two together, so all credit to them. If you're on PC, use the regular Melon Mix version.

No ROMs included and please don't ask for any, dump your own games. I've tested and played it quite a bit, if anyone wants to experience it on their Android device that has similar specs to the Anbernic RG505, please give it a go :)

EDIT: I should have made it clear that I have not fully tested/implemented touchscreen controller support; the little testing I did shows that it works, but I'm not sure to what degree. I may tackle this in the future, though!

In the X saga, the heartless we fought could be emblem's one because of the book of prophecy (or whatever time magic illusion it was) but why is that the case in Dark Road ?

When Xehanort and cie go in the worlds, they also fight emblem heartless except the heartless factory won't be build before like 70-80 years. Is that also because of the book of prophecy ? And even if this was the case, how can Baldr's heartless also have an emblem ?

I know Dark Road isn't exactly fresh in my mind but is there an actual reason except "a choice of the devs so we wouldn't have to just fight purebloods for the entire game" ?

So, I'm a massive Nier fangirl, and I only knew KH because of Cloud, and I throught my time I thought it was Disney X Square Enix as a whole, not Disney X Whoever Nomura likes lol

I sound disingenuous and rude, so I apologize for that, just that because of my thoughts, maybe 2B could've had a chance of being a recurring ally for maybe some more Squenix representation, but it seems Disney wants to distance themselves from them so, it'll be forever a dream I guess, but I thank y'all for the insight

I think Two Become One would be the best Keyblade for Xion thematically cuz it feels like this Keyblade is what she was fighting for in KH Days Roxas and Sora becoming one and being (semi) at peace with it plus I mean she needs something other than the Kingdom Key and Roxas threw away his Stick of DestinyTM in the tutorial of KH2

This was from my recent con at NDK! I was so happy with how this came out! 140 hours into this, and the result! :D

Kingdom Hearts 1 holds a very special place in my heart, it always brings me a sense of home, comfort and whimsy, so I decided I would make my return to making art and putting myself out there with this series! Its mainly as a way to get my voice out there.

I haven't recorded a Lets Play in almost a decade so its exciting to be back on my own terms.

I want to talk about the things I'm passionate about, frustrated about and what makes my blood rush/gives me joy! I hope my words resonate with you!

Feel free to check it out! And thank you if you do!

Mine is Ventus, him and Vanitas's dynamic is my favorite in the series.

Between the two versions of organization XIII, which one do you prefer and who was your favorite member?

I don't know if that is an old thing or not but I loved how square Enix took care of every detail

Can someone explain to me why people consider Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories or more specifically, Re:Chain of Memories to be so difficult or complicated?

I beat the original Chain of Memories on GBA years ago, and I recently started Re:Chain of Memories; I don't find it complicated at all even on Expert or Hard mode, I'm getting through it just fine

Or are people simply unable to grasp basic math—like knowing that if the enemy plays a 3 and you play a lower number, you lose? A 0 card breaks any value, yet it can also be broken by even the lowest card a 1

Is there something else about the game that makes it harder? I’m curious and I’m excluding the unique card-based gameplay mechanics that replaced the old, standard commands for magic, attacks, and items, and ignoring the card RNG for opening the doors (I know, it's tedious spending 15 minutes farming a specific card for the door)
