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].

[[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.

* 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.
+
* [[GBARunner2]] - a GBA hypervisor made for the DS(i), can only be ran through [[TWiLight Menu++]] and is included by default with the program (see below)Compatiblity can be a hit-or-miss, but it's still in active development with plans to include interesting features such as gyro control emulation and local wireless multiplayer in the future.

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. If you're using an old 3DS/2DS, this is the best option to play GBA games.

===Virtual Console Injection===
! colspan=2 width="250"| GBARunner2
+
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.<br>
|-
+
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.

*[[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.

===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.<br>
 
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.

Developer Nintendo
Type Handheld game console
Generation Eighth generation
Release date 2011
Discontinued 2020
Predecessor Nintendo DS
Emulated
For software that emulates the 3DS, see Nintendo 3DS 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 here 3ds.hacks.guide.

Cores Game/System Working? Notes
FinalBurn Alpha 2012 Arcade
  • Uses FBA v0.2.97.30 ROM sets
  • Main core (fbalpha2012_libretro) does not work, but platform-specific cores run at full speed
FinalBurn Neo NeoGeo A few games are unable to be loaded due to memory constraints
FinalBurn Alpha CPS1
FinalBurn Alpha CPS2
FinalBurn Alpha CPS3 ~ most games are too slow to run even on New 3DS, though JoJo runs almost full speed
Gambatte Game Boy / Color
mGBA GameBoy Advance acceptable with Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, but some games are slow to use, even on New 3DS, at present
gpSP ~50-60 FPS with dynarec
Mednafen VB Virtual Boy ~ ~25-30 FPS
Mednafen PCE fast PCE / CD / SuperGrafx
Mednafen NGP NeoGeo Pocket / Color
Mednafen WS WonderSwan / Color
FCEUmm NES / FDS
Nestopia ~55-60 FPS, use FCEUmm instead
QuickNES
NXEngine Cave Story
PCSX-ReARMed PlayStation ~50-60 FPS at standard resolution
PicoDrive MD / Gen / SMS / CD / 32X 2D games run full speed, 3D games run about 30 FPS or less
Genesis Plus GX MD / Gen / SMS / CD / 32X / SG-1000 Redbook audio hangs when suspending or pausing RetroArch
Snes9x 2002 (PocketSNES) SNES less compatible than CATSFC, but can actually run many special chip games at full speed
Snes9x 2005 (CATSFC) ~55-60 FPS on standard games, ~50 FPS on Super FX games
Snes9x 2005+ (CATSFC Plus) Same as Snes9x 2005 but with better sound, at the cost of a few FPS, has more accurate audio, slower
Snes9x 2010 (Snes9x Next) Most accurate but slowest SNES core (~40 FPS),too slow to use even on New 3DS at present

Using current exploits, the New 3DS is capable of running most of these cores at or nearly at full speed on most games. The only cores the older 3DS can reliably run at full speed are 2048, Gambatte, QuickNES, NXEngine, and some older Sega games using 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.

GBARunner2 git Mid ~


GBARunner2
  • GBARunner2 - a GBA hypervisor made for the DS(i), can only be ran through TWiLight Menu++ and is included by default with the program (see below). Compatiblity can be a hit-or-miss, but it's still in active development with plans to include interesting features such as gyro control emulation and local wireless multiplayer in the future.

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. 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:

Name Version Accuracy FLOSS Active Citra Recommended
New Super Ultimate Injector (NSUI) Beta 27 Native ? ?
open_agb_firm git Native
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 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).
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 this 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 you can help).
    • To install, simply put the .firm file in the /luma/payloads/ folder and hold START 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 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.

Nintendo 64

Name Version Accuracy FLOSS Active Citra Recommended
DaedalusX64 3DS git Mid ~
DaedalusX64

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.

Nintendo DS

Name Version Accuracy FLOSS Active Recommended
TWiLight Menu++ git Mid
DeSmuME git Low
TWiLight Menu++
  • 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.

Includes a bunch of popular emulators, and can be found in The list includes:

  • GameYob - (GB/GBC)
  • jEnesisDS - (Sega Megadrive/Genesis)
  • nesDS - (NES)
  • NitroGrafx - (PC-Engine)
  • S8DS - (GG/MS/SG-1000)
  • SNEmulDS - (SNES)
  • GBARunner2 - (GBA)
  • NGPDS - (Neo Geo Pocket)

  • ColecoDS - (ColecoVision)
  • Nintellivision - (Intellivision)

  • XEGS-DS - (Atari800XL/XEGS)
  • StellaDS - (Atari 2600)
  • A5200DS - (Atari 5200)
  • A7800DS - (Atari 7800 ProSystem)
DeSmuME
  • DeSmuME - an experimental port of DeSmuME that has since been abandoned, it wasn't very compatible.

DSiWare

Because the firmware that the 3DS uses for backwards-compatibility is actually the same as the DSi, it's possible to inject DSiWare as an installable .cia file.

GodMode9
  • Since version 2.0.0 can install DSiWare in both .nds and .cia formats, 3ds.hacks.guide has more information on how to update to the latest version if needed.
FBI
  • Able to install .cia files from the SD card.
TWiLight Menu++
  • Since v20.0.0 (nds-bootstrap v0.39.0) DSiWare have been supported.
  • DSiWare are run natively, however they're patched to run from and save to the SD card rather than internal NAND which works around the 40 title limit, but occasionally causes bugs resulting in slightly less than perfect compatibility currently.
  • Has an in-game menu (accessible in DSiWare since v24.0.0) that allows for taking screenshots and viewing RAM.
DSiWare Conversion Script
  • This script can be used to convert .bin files from your DSi's SD card to .nds which can then be used to convert into .cia.

These scripts will ONLY work for DSiWare, NOT NDS GAMES.

Virtual Boy

r3Ddragon git Low ~ (slow)
r3Ddragon
  • 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 and cause eyestrain. 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 (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.

  1. Controls are unstable, causing the player to uncontrollably bank to the right after moving.
  2. Versions of Shadow Warrior supported for JFShadowWarrior include: Shadow Warrior Registered Version 1.2 (MS-DOS), Shadow Warrior Shareware Version (MS-DOS), Shadow Warrior Classic (GOG.com, Steam), and Shadow Warrior Classic Redux (GOG.com, Steam, Humble).
  3. 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 Five Nights at Freddy's 1 3DS -remastered- is an updated version of Five Nights at Freddy 1's 3DS by the same developer FreDev, also known as BumboDEV and BaseDEV. The developer also attempted Nintendo 3DS ports of Five Nights at Freddy's 2, 3, and 4 but development stopped after the developer lost the source code for Five Nights at Freddy's 2 and would have to reverse engineer it again.[1] Those ports were only in a state of demonstration and were not fully playable, having incomplete A.I., gameplay, and missing screens. Download links to the latest versions can be found on the old Discord server.
  4. 4.0 4.1 There is also an official Nintendo 3DS remake called Cave Story 3D with 3D graphics and more gameplay features that may be more recommendable depending on the user's preference. Cave Story Engine 2, or CSE2 for short, is a source port of the classic Cave Story by Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya. CSE2 came with a portable version and an enhanced version of the original freeware but in November 2020, the CSE2 source port has received a DMCA cease and desist notice from Nicalis, the current IP owner of Cave Story.
  5. 5.0 5.1 5.2 Audio for these games does not output in Citra, but other than that, it is playable.
  6. 6.0 6.1 6.2 Sega Forever classics version on Android or iOS can also be used.
  7. New Nintendo 3DS/2DS is highly recommended to use any of the Super Mario 64 3DS ports (sm64ex-alo, sm64-minimap, etc.) and can use 800px but even then, using certain graphical settings such as No Drawing Distance when building a custom version can greatly reduce frame rate even on a New Nintendo 3DS/2DS. On older Nintendo 3DS/2DS models, use the 400px version.
  8. The Asian translations of Diablo on devilutionX-3ds are not recommended on older Nintendo 3DS/2DS models as they can crash due to not having enough memory to hold all the symbols in memory.
  9. The RSC Preservation 3DS port of OpenRSC (a RuneScape Classic private server) has frame rate issues when Interlace Mode is off. Toggling Interlace Mode on by pressing SELECT restores the frame rate.
  10. While RE3 3DS is playable and only playable on New Nintendo 3DS/2DS, it will also suffer frame rate drops and graphical glitches but it is still playable depending on the user's frame tolerance.
SM64 3DS port
  • SM64 3DS Port - Thanks to the decompilation project, you can now enjoy SM64 on the 3DS with *analog* support and native rendering (compared to the official DS port). 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 here but it's no longer up-to-date or a more up-to-date version with 3D support here).
