the frontend is pretty well separated from the emulation core. We also have a frontend util as an extra layer of reuseable functionality for frontends.
Take a look at https://github.com/Arisotura/melonDS/tree/master/src/frontend
One problem is that a lot of functionality is still fixed to work via file io, like savestates or savefiles. There's a PR to change that for savestate's which is stale (https://github.com/Arisotura/melonDS/pull/959).
Just a suggestion, you may be able to adapt the RetroArch/LibRetro port to suit your needs, since their cores are already DLLs/SOs...

Hey! I want to make a version of MelonDS that can be used for embeding into other applications. I already did something similiar with Desmume:
This interface should allow access to all major emulator controls (loading BIOS, ROM, managing savestates, I/O) and debugging functionality (accessing memory, memory / PC hooks).
Is there already some interface code which can be used as a base for this, to get me started?
