Emulators on 3DS

623 bytes added, 03:47, 26 November 2020
created separate section for PS1 emulation since it's seen some major improvements
* [[Nestopia]]
* NXEngine
* PCSX-ReARMed - the latest nightly build has made some improvements, making it possible to have 60 fps emulation on some games (mainly 2D based games, but is possible for 3D games if you tweak some of the settingssee below) and even added support for .CHD compression formats. These improvements are mainly for the New 3DS as the original model is not powerful enough.
* [[PicoDrive]] (32X emulation does not work in the .3dsx format, at least.)
* PocketSNES (less compatible than CATSFC, but can actually run many special chip games at full speed)
* [https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-daedalusx64-n64-emulator.562195/ DaedalusX64] - N64 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 its beta stage, it has shown a lot of improvements thanks to using a dynamic recompiler, with some games running at a playable state. It also supports using stereoscopic 3D (at the cost of slower performance), which isn't a feature a lot of emulators have.

* [https://www.libretro.com/index.php/retroarch-3ds-full-speed-ps1-now-possible-with-pcsx-rearmed-w-unai-renderer/ 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 so don't expect the o3DS to run well if at all.
