{{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.

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.

|-
| * open_agb_firm <i>(Name not finalized)</i> - 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 [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 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.<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.

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. ===[[RetroArch]] (unofficial)=== <B>Unofficial <code> [https://gbatemp.net/threads/unofficial-3ds-retroarch-builds.462252 3DS builds]</B></code> {| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitablesortable" style="widthtext-align: 100%center;"|+ New3DS performance!

==Game engines==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:

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/MrHuuprofi200/open_agb_firm/openbor-3dsissues/releases git9 you can help]).| Mid| {{✓}}| {{✗}}| {{✓}}| {{✓}}| ** To install, simply put the .pak mod games|-| RPG Maker| [https:firm file in the <code>/luma/github.compayloads/Rinnegatamante</RPG-Maker-3DS git]| Low| {{✓}}| {{✗}}| ?| {{✗}}| RPG maker code> folder, hold START and power on to load up the chainloader to launch it.

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.gamebrewreddit.orgcom/wikir/Sonic_CD_2011_3DS Sonic CD 2011 3DS]| [https:3dshacks/comments/github.comjvkotb/SaturnSH2x2full_speed_psx_finally_here_on_new_3ds_new_2ds_xl/Sonic-CD-11-3DS gitSee here]for some tips), so it's better to use that until the next stable release.| Mid** 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.| {{✓}} ==Uzebox=={| {{✓}}class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"! scope="col"|Name! scope="col"| {{✗}}Version! scope="col"| {{✓}}[[Emulation Accuracy|Accuracy]]! scope="col"| {{✓}}<supabbr title="Free/Libre and Open-Source Software">(HW)FLOSS</supabbr>! scope="col"| Sonic the Hedgehog CD (2011)<ref groupActive! scope=N name"col"|[[Citra]]! scope=sonic>Sega Forever classics version on Android or iOS can also be used.</ref>"col"|[[Recommended Emulators|Recommended]]
