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 further 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 ReteroArch 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.Currently, RetroArch has no support for the 3DS's Gyro controls. ===Game Boy Advance[[RetroArch]] (unofficial)=== <B>Unofficial <code> [https://gbatemp.net/threads/unofficial-3ds-retroarch-builds.462252 3DS builds]</B></code>

| Atari800 3DS* 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 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/profi200asiekierka/open_agb_firmatari800-3ds/issuestree/9 you can helpport-3ds {{Atari800-3DSVer}}])[https://github.** To install, simply put the .firm file in the <code>com/lumaRandomMan25XX/payloadsatari800-3ds/</code> folder, hold START and power on to load up the chainloader to launch it.

===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 64Atari Lynx===

|UAE3DS*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. **| [https://docs.googlegithub.com/spreadsheets/d/1LRTkXOUXraTMjg1eedz_f7b5jiuyMv2x6e_jY_nyHScbadda71/edit#gid=0 Compatiblity Listuae3DS git].Includes a bunch of popular emulators, and can be found in | MidThe list includes:| {{✓}}* A5200DS - (Atari 5200)| {{~}}* A7800DS - (Atari 7800 ProSystem)| {{✓}}* A8DS - (Atari800XL/XEGS)| {{~}}* AmEDS |- (Amstrad CPC)* ColecoDS - (ColecoVision)| UAE3DSsng* CrocoDC - (Amstrad CPC)* GameYob - (GB| [https://github.com/GBC)* GBARunner2 - (GBA)* jEnesisDS - (Sega Megadrivebadda71/Genesis)* nesDS - (NES)* NGPDS - (Neo Geo Pocket)* Nintellivision - (Intellivision)* NitroGrafx - (PC-Engine)* NitroSwan - (WonderSwan)uae3DSng git]* PicoDriveTWL - (Genesis/Megadrive)| Mid* PokeMini - (Pokémon Mini)| {{✓}}* S8DS - (GG/MS/SG-1000)| {{~}}* SNEmulDS - (SNES)| ?* StellaDS - (Atari 2600)| {{✗}}

| Atari800 *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 3DSby 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://githubdocs.google.com/asiekierkaspreadsheets/atari800-3dsd/tree1LRTkXOUXraTMjg1eedz_f7b5jiuyMv2x6e_jY_nyHSc/port-3ds edit#gid=0Compatiblity List].3.9a] [httpsIncludes 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/github.comGBC)* GBARunner2 - (GBA)* jEnesisDS - (Sega Megadrive/RandomMan25XX/atari800Genesis)* nesDS - (NES)* NGPDS - (Neo Geo Pocket)* Nintellivision - (Intellivision)* NitroGrafx - (PC-Engine)* NitroSwan - (WonderSwan)* PicoDriveTWL -3ds(Genesis/releases cia]Megadrive)| Mid* PokeMini - (Pokémon Mini)| {{✓}}* S8DS - (GG/MS/SG-1000)| {{✓}}* SNEmulDS - (SNES)| {{✓}}| {{✓}}* StellaDS - (Atari 2600)

===MSX=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: {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"

| Mini vMac * 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 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/TaraHoleInItprofi200/open_agb_firm/minivmac-3ds gitissues/9 you can help]).| Mid| {{✓}}| {{✗}}| {{✓}}| {{✓}}** 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.

==Source ports=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.
