====Native firmware====<B>Unofficial <code> [https://gbatemp.net/threads/unofficial-3ds-retroarch-builds.462252 3DS builds]</B></code>
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: {| class="wikitablesortable" style="text-align:center;"! scope="col"|Name+ New3DS performance! scope="col"|VersionCore! scope="col"|[[Emulation Accuracy|Accuracy]]! scope="col"|<abbr title="Free/Libre and Open-Source Software">FLOSS<Game/abbr>System! scope="col"|ActiveWorking?! scope="col"|[[Citra]]Old 3ds! scopeclass="colunsortable"|[[Recommended Emulators|Recommended]]Notes

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.

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 models, so don't expect the old 3DS models to run well, if at all.|} ==SEGA==

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 [https02* TurboGrafx/PC Engine ://githubTemperPCE 1.com02* MasterSystem/profi200MegaDrive/open_agb_firmSega CD/issues/9 you can help])32x : PicoDrive 0.94*CHIP-8 : CHIP-3DS* To install, simply put the Atari 2600 : z26 3DS* GB/GBC : GameYob 1.firm file in the <code>/luma/payloads/</code> folder, hold START and power on to load up the chainloader to launch it0.8* GBA : mGBA 0.

==Apple=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. ===Nintendo 64Macintosh and Mac II===

While still in early development, it has shown a lot of improvements thanks to using a dynamic recompiler, with some games running at a playable state. Versions before v1.0 also supported using stereoscopic 3D (at the cost of slower performance), which isn't a feature a lot of emulators have.

| NP2/21 *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 3DShas 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).

===Amiga 500=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/profi200/open_agb_firm/issues/9 you can help]).** To install, simply put the .firm file in the <code>/luma/payloads/</code> folder, hold START and power on 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.|} ===Game engines& Watch===
