Game Boy Advance: mgba only recommended for new models
}}
{{for|software that emulates the 3DS|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 [https://3ds.hacks.guide/ 3ds.hacks.guide].

*[[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.

===DSiwareDSiWare===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 <code>.cia</code> file. There's two ways to do this:

* This script can be used to convert <code>.bin</code> files from your DSi's SD card to <code>.nds</code> which can then be used to convert into <code>.cia</code>.

These scripts will <b>ONLY</b> work for DSiWare, <font style="color:red"><b>NOT NDS GAMES</b></font>.
 [[TWiLight Menu++]] has support for two DSiWare as of v15.1.1 with a special preview of [[nds-bootstrap]], Pop Island and Pop Island: Paperfield. These can also run on the DS.|}

"bios_CD_U.bin", "bios_CD_J.bin", and "bios_CD_E.bin" based on the respective regions. BIOS need to be in the <code>/3ds/picodrive_3ds/bios</code> folder.

===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.
