These menus are extremely small given the 3DS's screen size, but allow you to run games. Some games will have slowdown, such as the Touhou games. You may prefer to use the standalone NP2 for 3DS, as it uses the touch screen for enlarged menus, keyboard support, and allows you to use both screens.

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 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 retroarch 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.

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:

You can do injectionseven use your own Amiibo data, but this one is nice as after it can do other Virtual Console injections and some forwarders for emulators. The only problem is each ROM must be injected and installed individually, including the [https://3ds.hacks.guide/godmode9-usage.html#restore-gba-vc-saves save files]'s been decrypted, or a generic AmiiboID which makes the number of titles that can be installed restricted are freely available and explains how to get them on the max the 3DS title limit (300 titles, not including pre-installed system titles)project page.

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 & WatchDS===

| * r3Ddragon - It's kind of surprising that Nintendo never released a Virtual Console for the Virtual Boy on the 3DS, especially given how small the library of games were for the system and how both utilize 3D effects <strike>and cause eyestrain</strike>. 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 GameYob 3DS to run. Development has since opened.|} ===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://gbatempwww.netgamebrew.org/threadswiki/discussion-new-super-ultimate-injector-nsuiGameYob_3DS 1.500376/ New Super Ultimate Injector0.8].

* DaedalusX64 3DS - The Nintendo 64 has always been known to be a hard system to emulate, which is why many were skeptical about how feasible it would be to have an emulator for the system on the 3DS. 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.

|{{~}}<ref group=N>New Nintendo 3DS/2DS is highly recommended to use any of the Super Mario 64 3DS ports (sm64ex-alo, sm64-minimap, etc.) and can use 800px but even then, using certain graphical settings such as No Drawing Distance when building a custom version can greatly reduce frame rate even on a New Nintendo 3DS/2DS. On older Nintendo 3DS/2DS models, use the 400px version.</ref>
