===Eclipse===

[https://eclipseemu.me Eclipse] is a web-based emulator for iOS devices. It supports classic Nintendo systems (NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA) as well as Sega Game Gear and Master System.

It's very easy to use since it doesn't require any third-party app store or jailbreak, instead the website can simply be added to the home screen from Safari. It also works offline. However, it doesn't have as many features as other emulators.

Because of the homebrewing scene the 3DS has had, you can install a variety of emulators. Currently, the New 3DS is capable of running much faster than the older models, making it a much more ideal platform for emulation, but despite this there are still some emulators that have issues regardless. For more information on how to homebrew your 3DS, visit [https://3ds.hacks.guide/ 3ds.hacks.guide].

Using current exploits, the New 3DS is capable of running many of these cores at or nearly at full speed on most games. The older 3DS is less powerful but can still run some cores at full speed, like 2048, Gambatte, QuickNES, NXEngine, and PicoDrive.
Opposed to normal use of RetroArch, these are all self-contained emulators, albeit sharing the same automatic configuration.
Screenshot-taking is broken. Upon exiting RetroArch 3DS, press the Start button.
If you use retroarch via homebrew launcher, in 3dsx format, please notice that some cores crash upon opening without furter action. The loaded core, crashing or not, is saved into sd:/retroarch/retroarch-salamander.cfg file which is where retroarch remembers the core to be first loaded. Therefore, if you mistakenly load a problematic crashing core, you won't be able to launch retroarch successfully again until you manually delete that file from the sdcard. Alternatively, you can make set it the readonly attribute, while it's still working.

|}

====Native firmware====

The 3DS does include native firmware for a GBA mode which was mainly used to run ambassador releases instead of having to develop an emulator for them. Because it's technically running a "virtual" GBA, it can't provide features that are normally available on other emulators, such as savestates, screen filtering, or sleep mode, however it does have high compatibility with the exception of cartridges with special hardware, for example, WarioWare Twisted, which has a gyroscope built in. If you're using an old 3DS/2DS, this is the best option to play GBA games.
There are two ways to take advantage of this firmware:

! colspan=2 width="250"| NSUI
|-
|
* New Super Ultimate Injector - There are other programs that can do injections, but this one is nice as it can do other Virtual Console injections and some forwarders for emulators. The only problem is each ROM must be injected and installed individually, including the [https://3ds.hacks.guide/godmode9-usage.html#restore-gba-vc-saves save files], which makes the number of titles that can be installed restricted to the max the 3DS title limit (300 titles, not including pre-installed system titles).
|}

{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="width: 100%;"
! colspan=2 width="250"| Open agb firm
|-
|
* open_agb_firm (Name not finalized) - A custom FIRM payload that takes advantage of the built-in GBA firmware, it's still in early development but has an alpha build available. The major advantages of oaf compared to VC injection is that it performs faster and there aren't any issues with the sound, it utilizes the native hardware (even with VC injection there are issues with the sound, ex.: "Fire Emblem"). It can load the ROM through the SD card instead of having to convert and install them, but needs to be launched on boot instead of being able to use the 3DS HOME Menu (there's ways to make a forwarder for in on the HOME menu, but requires additional setup to get it to work). One major issue is there's a chance that it may not detect the correct save format or will corrupt the existing save file so make sure to backup your saves beforehand (they are currently trying fix it by having a better database for save detection, if you're interested [https://github.com/profi200/open_agb_firm/issues/9 you can help]).
** To install, simply put the .firm file in the <code>/luma/payloads/</code> folder, hold START and power on to load up the chainloader to launch it. There's no way of exiting out once the program starts, so you will need to turn it off and redo the step to load it if you wanted to change games.
|}

===Virtual Console Injection===
Some have tried injecting alternate ROMs in the available Virtual Console releases (MD, GG, NES, GBA Ambassador, GBC, Japanese emulated SFC compilations) with varying degrees of success. The emulators used for Virtual Console are not as accurate as other emulators so compatibility isn't perfect (the only exception is GBA since it runs it natively, not emulation), Sega systems in particular have high compatibility however. 
There's an easy tool that will convert and inject any supported ROM file as its associated VC application called [https://gbatemp.net/threads/discussion-new-super-ultimate-injector-nsui.500376/ New Super Ultimate Injector]. It's an all in one tool and can even remotely install the injection provided your 3DS is connected to the same network. It's currently in beta, but it's still really useful.

* DaedalusX64 3DS - The Nintendo 64 has always been known to be a hard system to emulate, which is why many were skeptical about how feasible it would be to have an emulator for the system on the 3DS. While still in early development, it has shown a lot of improvements thanks to using a dynamic recompiler, with some games running at a playable state. Versions before v1.0 also supported using stereoscopic 3D (at the cost of slower performance), which isn't a feature a lot of emulators have.

*TWiLight Menu++ - Not technically an "emulator", rather it's a frontend for a separate program, [[nds-bootstrap]], which allows for an NDS ROM to be loaded from an SD card. The program is originally designed for the DSi, however it's able to work on the 3DS by utilizing the virtual DSi (aka the TWL_FIRM or "DS Mode") that the 3DS has for backwards-compatibility. Compatibility isn't the same as using a flashcart, however it's still pretty high with only a few games having issues or triggering anti-piracy protections (newer versions now come with AP patches for most games and will patch them if needed at launch). It also comes pre-bundled with a variety of emulators used on the DS and a work-in-progress GBA hypervisor, [[GBARunner2]], that works to some degree.

* r3Ddragon - It's kind of surprising that Nintendo never released a Virtual Console for the Virtual Boy on the 3DS, especially given how small the library of games were for the system and how both utilize 3D effects <strike>and cause eyestrain</strike>. What makes this emulator stand out is the fact that it's able to display the graphics in 3D the way it was intended, something that is almost impossible to do on other platforms; unfortunately compatibility is still low and requires a New 3DS to run. Development has since opened.

* PCSX-ReARMed (RetroArch) - Thanks to the work of many developers, it is now possible to have full speed 60 FPS emulation for a majority of games and support for .CHD compression formats. Generally, 2D games will perform better than 3D, however you can get some better performance by tweaking the settings if necessary. The nightly builds have seen major improvements since the initial release and can even play some of the more demanding games at full speed ([https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/comments/jvkotb/full_speed_psx_finally_here_on_new_3ds_new_2ds_xl/ See here] for some tips), so it's better to use that until the next stable release.
** NOTE: This emulator is mainly targeted for the New 3DS models, so don't expect the old 3DS models to run well, if at all.

Works pretty much at full speed on the New 3DS, the original model apparently has some slow downs but still playable. You can either build it yourself, or try finding pre-compiled build online (there are multiple versions, you can find some [https://web.archive.org/web/20200924080151/https://gist.github.com/stranno/2609a82f75ce346d1f1a5b99af94590c here] but it's no longer up-to-date or a more up-to-date version with 3D support [https://archive.org/details/sm64-port-3ds-mkst-7b56b78 here]).

'''TWiLight Menu++''', often abbreviated to ''"TWL Menu++"'', is an open-source DSi Menu upgrade/replacement for the Nintendo DSi, the Nintendo 3DS, and Nintendo DS flashcarts. It can launch Nintendo DS, SNES, NES, GameBoy (color), GameBoy Advance, TurboGrafX-16, XEGS, Atari 2600, 5200 and 7800 games, as well as Sega GameGear/Master System & Mega Drive/Genesis ROMs, as well as DSTWO plugins (if you use a DSTWO) and videos.
It can be used as a frontend for either [[nds-bootstrap]] or supported flashcarts.

==Features==

* Launch DS ROMs from the SD card and/or flashcard, via nds-bootstrap (comes included with the app)
* Run GBA ROMs from the SD card or flashcard using [[GBARunner2]].
* Support for multiple languages.
* Automatic on-the-fly AP-patching. Load the game and the patches should be applied if found (patching is done in RAM, leaving the original ROM untouched).
* Includes emulators for the following systems and can launch the ROM through the menu:

** Gameyob - (GB/GBC)
** jEnesisDS - (Sega Megadrive/Genesis)
** Nestwl/nesds - (NES)
** NitroGrafx - (PC-Engine)
** S8DS - (GG/MS/SG-1000)
** SNEmulDS - (SNES)
** GBARunner2 (GBA)
** NGPDS(Neo Geo Pocket)
** NitroSwan(WonderSwan)
** ColecoDS(ColecoVision)
** NINTV-DS(Intellivision)
** PicoDriveTWL (Genesis/Megadrive)
** XEGS-DS (Atari800XL/XEGS)
** StellaDS (Atari 2600)
** A5200DS (Atari 5200)
** A7800DS (Atari 7800 ProSystem)

* On the 3DS, can play DS games in 16:10 widescreen (requires additional setup; not every game is supported).

* For DSi/3DS/2DS users: Overclock games to 133mhz, faster than the normal DS clock speed of 67mhz, and change sound frequency from 32kHz to 48kHz for higher sound quality.

* For flashcards, the flashcard kernel/firmware can optionally be used to boot the games.

* Customizable menus.

==Overview==
TWiLight Menu++ can be used on the DS (from a flashcart), DSi, and 3DS. More information can be found on the [https://gbatemp.net/threads/ds-i-3ds-twilight-menu-gui-for-ds-i-games-and-ds-i-menu-replacement.472200/ GBAtemp Thread]. For details on how to install, please read here

ZeDoBranco: /* Update ares URL */

==PCSX-R==

We need to do something about PCSXR. The page sings the praise of the emulator too highly. I consider it only moderately better than epsxe, but it is still a plugin and glitchy mess.

Many recent builds are broken too. At the very least we should find the latest one that works right and link to that one. --[[Special:Contributions/173.206.82.252|173.206.82.252]] 22:26, 13 April 2014 (EDT)

:Oh, wow, a very old message from four years ago... Yeah, I think we all kinda agree about PCSX-R being a plugin-based mess and I see that its ongoing development is stuttering a bit. However, good news is RetroArch has got that good Beetle PSX core (still not perfect compatibility for everything); MEDNAFEN is excellent but unfortunately has got no debugging tools for ANY of its core (not good for romhacking or bugfixes). It's very strange that, despite all this time and the burgeoning field, there is not a very large number of recommended PSX emulators for desktop PC's.
:To me, Avocado seems very promising and is being well made and relatively easy to use, I imagine. But it's being made solely by a Polish developer so progress will not be very fast. We see on the main page that the PCSX-R fork bundled with the PGXP graphical enhancement plugin is good. [[User:ObiKKa|ObiKKa]] ([[User talk:ObiKKa|talk]]) 03:20, 7 December 2018 (EST)

== ZXE-D: Legend of Plasmalite ==

It should be noted that this game cannot be emulated by any emulator because it uses an external device (assemblable robots with parts) which connects to the memory card slot to show an exact replica of your robot during gameplay. No efforts have ever been made, and nobody is interested or maybe documentation/device availability is lacking.

== PSXACT ==

Can anyone find evidence to this project still being active? The github page linked 404s and google isn't helping me.
:It moved to gitlab.

== Miss important historical PSX emulator! ==

"Connectix VGS" was the first commercial emulator for PS1 and therefore deserves to be included in this list.

:Done. Thanks for suggestion! [[User:WebMint|WebMint]] ([[User talk:WebMint|talk]])

== PCSX-Redux ==

Can anyone add PCSX-Redux (https://github.com/grumpycoders/pcsx-redux), which is another fork of PCSX?

Also, can anyone tell me why they disabled the Edit function on the whole page of PlayStation_emulators?

== Duckstation now available as libretro core ==

Good afternoon, everyone. I noticed DuckStation added libretro support a few days back, according to their commit log on GitHub. I tried to edit this information here myself, but it seems the whole page is edit-protected. So, could someone please mark DuckStation (desktop) as libretro-compatible? Thanks. [[User:Duckplc|Duckplc]] ([[User talk:Duckplc|talk]]) 15:41, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

== Mednafen PSX and Beetle should be split in the table ==

As it stands now, I believe the table is somewhat misleading to newcomers, since it doesn't make it clear that libretro's Beetle PSX core is heavily modified from the Mednafen core. This distinction is mentioned below the table, but could be made clear right away in the able itself. My proposal would be to add an additional row for Beetle PSX. [[User:Duckplc|Duckplc]] ([[User talk:Duckplc|talk]]) 15:45, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

== pSXfin reference is broken ==

The footnote reference to a compatibility list for pSXfin is broken 
http://psx.silvanthalas.com/psx.html 
A working link is on the page for pSXfin itself 
https://web.archive.org/web/20170706063016/http://psx.silvanthalas.com/psx.html

== PCSX-Reloaded (PCSXR) Is Still Active In-Development ==

PCSX-Reloaded (PCSXR) is still active in-development. (https://ci.appveyor.com/project/iCatButler/pcsxr/build/artifacts)

== Update ares URL ==

Hi, could someone update the ares URL to "https://github.com/ares-emulator/ares/releases" to avoid a redirect? Thanks. [[User:BlaBlaCra|BlaBlaCra]] ([[User talk:BlaBlaCra|talk]]) 00:16, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
