===[[RetroArch]]===
There are [https://gbatemp.net/threads/retroarch-emulation-thread-nightly-builds-included.400913/ preliminary 3DS ports] of the following cores: [http://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/ stable 3DS ports]
* 2048
[https://github.com/masterfeizz/DeSmuME/releases DeSmuME] - an experimental port of DeSmuME that has since been abandoned, it wasn't very compatible.
[https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases TWiLight Menu++] - Not technically an "emulator", rather it's a frontend for a seperate program, [https://github.com/ahezard/nds-bootstrap nds-bootstrap], which allows for an NDS ROM to be loaded from an SD card. It utilizes the virtual DSi (aka the TWL_FIRM) that the 3DS has for backwards-compatibility, meaning this program can also be installed on the original DSi provided it has CFW installed. Compatibility is high with only a few games having small loading lags, <i>(i.eeg. GTA: Chinatown warsWars)</i>, or triggering anti-piracy protections (the latest version now includes AP patches for some games and will patch them on the fly). It also comes pre-bundled with a variety of emulators used on the DS and a work-in-progress GBA hypervisor, [https://github.com/Gericom/GBARunner2 GBARunner2], that works to some degree.

===VC 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. VC emulators for Sega systems, in particular, have high compatibility.<br>
There's an easy tool that will convert and inject any supported ROM file as it's 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.
