melonDS requires BIOS/firmware copies from a DS. Files required:
* bios7.bin, 16KB: ARM7 BIOS
* bios9.bin, 4KB: ARM9 BIOS
* firmware.bin, 256KB: firmware
* firmware.bin, 128/256/512KB: firmware
Firmware boot requires a firmware dump from an original DS or DS Lite.
DS firmwares dumped from a DSi or 3DS aren't bootable and only contain configuration data, thus they are only suitable when booting games directly.
Possible firmware sizes:
* 128KB: DSi/3DS DS-mode firmware (reduced size due to lacking bootcode)
* 256KB: regular DS firmware
* 512KB: iQue DS firmware
DS BIOS dumps from a 3DS can be used with no compatibility issues. DSi BIOS dumps should be usable too, provided they were dumped properly.
As for the rest, the interface should be pretty straightforward. If you have a question, don't hesitate to ask, though!
