:!:Games are tested on N3DS only:!:
did you change the CPU clock speeds with ntr boot? because sometimes that helps alot with SOME compatibility issues because a homebrew game called NEW sonic 2 port. which only has 1 level runs like crap till you change the clock speeds on it.

Did not know ntr could clock emulators. So I obviously haven't tried this.

Fair enough. Just so you know: Crash doesn't run very well. But if what you said about ntr clocking is true then it might work better at least.

Once you guys get Castlevania: Symphony of the Night working, Ill download this and test it.
We'll most likely never get SotN to run at a good fps...

EDIT: Realized what I said is not true. It can run at ~50 fps or if you're "lucky" you can play it at full speed at ~60 fps.

Yes, but I've found it very playable at the FPS the N3DS can provide with optimal settings.

Other games like Mechwarrior 2 run really well.
I've used every measure to improve the fps I believe, but it's still too slow for SotN to be fun. Since it's not an rpg you'd want maximum fps or it just won't be enjoyable.

Is possible that game with bios runs worse ?
I want to play Heart of darkness and it's not playable, in compatibility doc here it says runs ok.

The reason why it doesn't work would probably be that either your bios or rom is faulty or that you're using a broken version of PCSX. Can you play other games for example? Some versions of PCSX are not working properly. Those stated in the compatibility list shouldn't be broken.

it was my bad I used latest nightly and it has some problems. Today downloaded latest stable and it works great.
Except it starts (Retroarch itself) very slow, then in menu must go to load content and i go to folder with my eboot and again slow loading.
Second problem- it freeze when I scan that file.

My quesiton is - isnt possible to have shortcut or whatever to quick launch my game (i currently running only that one)

That might have be because of your menu driver. Choose rgui and maybe the lag will dissappear.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
