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 innet/threads/unofficial-3ds-retroarch-builds.

{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="width: 100%;"! colspanNintendo=2 width="250"| PCSX-ReARMed|-| * 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 ([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.|}

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.

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 [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.

|*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 Atari800 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. **| [https://docs.googlegithub.com/spreadsheetsasiekierka/datari800-3ds/1LRTkXOUXraTMjg1eedz_f7b5jiuyMv2x6e_jY_nyHSctree/edit#gid=0 Compatiblity Listport-3ds {{Atari800-3DSVer}}].Includes a bunch of popular emulators, and can be found in The list includes[https:* GameYob - (GB/GBC)* jEnesisDS - (Sega Megadrive/Genesis)* nesDS - (NES)* NitroGrafx - (PC-Engine)* S8DS - (GGgithub.com/MSRandomMan25XX/SGatari800-1000)* SNEmulDS - (SNES)* GBARunner2 - (GBA)* NGPDS - (Neo Geo Pocket)* NitroSwan - (WonderSwan)* ColecoDS - (ColecoVision)* Nintellivision - (Intellivision)3ds/releases cia]* PicoDriveTWL - (Genesis/Megadrive)| Mid* A8DS - (Atari800XL/XEGS)| {{✓}}* StellaDS - (Atari 2600)| {{✓}}* A5200DS - (Atari 5200)| {{✓}}* A7800DS - (Atari 7800 ProSystem)| {{✓}}

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. **[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LRTkXOUXraTMjg1eedz_f7b5jiuyMv2x6e_jY_nyHSc/edit#gid=0 Compatiblity List].Includes a bunch of popular emulators, and can be found in The list includes:* A5200DS - (Atari 5200)* A7800DS - (Atari 7800 ProSystem)* A8DS - (Atari800XL/XEGS)* AmEDS - (Amstrad CPC)* ColecoDS - (ColecoVision)* CrocoDC - (Amstrad CPC)* GameYob - (GB/GBC)* GBARunner2 - (GBA)* jEnesisDS - (Sega Megadrive/Genesis)* nesDS - (NES)* NGPDS - (Neo Geo Pocket)* Nintellivision - (Intellivision)* NitroGrafx - (PC-Engine)* NitroSwan - (WonderSwan)* PicoDriveTWL - (Genesis/Megadrive)* PokeMini - (Pokémon Mini)* S8DS - (GG/MS/SG-1000)* SNEmulDS - (SNES)* StellaDS - (Atari 2600)|} ===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 <code>.cia</code> file.

==Sinclair==Native firmware===ZX Spectrum=== 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:/ 128/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 & Watch===

| * 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 ([https://www.gamebrewreddit.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.org|} ==Uzebox=={| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"! scope="col"|Name! scope="col"|Version! scope="col"|[[Emulation Accuracy|Accuracy]]! scope="col"|<abbr title="Free/wikiLibre and Open-Source Software">FLOSS</CtrQuake_3DS ctrQuakeabbr>! scope="col"|Active! scope="col"|[[Citra]]! scope="col"|[[Recommended Emulators|Recommended]]|-| Cuzebox 3DS| [https://githubwww.gamebrew.comorg/masterfeizzwiki/ctrQuake gitCuzebox3DS 0.0.1]| ?Low
