Cool!
Did you try to play Super Mario RPG on O3DS? It's actually "ok-ish" playable despite running at about 40-50 fps on an O3DS; I'm sure it will fair way better on N3DS, though I haven't tried that yet.

dont sell yourself short, the UI alone makes this better than what retroarch has to offer
Already tried the latest compiled 0.80, Super Mario RPG runs at constant 60 fps with 1 frameskip on N3DS.
This version also has some nice speed improvement, like in Star Ocean on 0.70, the fps sometimes dip to 56 fps with frameskip upto 5 fps. Now on 0.80, it runs at 60 fps with 1-2 frameskips.
You're doing god's work @bubble2k16 , cheers

Nice that you guys are trying. If you want the fastest build, go to 3dssnes9x.h and uncomment the 2 #define lines;
// Uncomment this to convert before releasing this to remove
// all the debugging stuff.
//
#define RELEASE
// Uncomment this to use 2 point geometry shaders on a real 3DS.
//
#define RELEASE_SHADER
I'm still fixing up a few bugs that seems to have come about due to the optimization. I'm looking into those before the release.

Thanks for all your hard work @bubble2k16!
I find this emulator far better than RetroArch, even on n3ds. Yoshi's island runs better on this than it does using their cores.
Anyway, I've noticed one weird bug. Save files / SRAM. Snes9x3ds will read .srm files, but it won't add to them or save them.
I've got an n3ds on a9lh + luma3ds, using Snes9x3ds 0.71. Games at sd:/snes/.
Is this some weird permissions issue? I've tried deleting and reinstalling without any luck.

You can download the latest .3dsx build from https://github.com/bubble2k16/snes9x_3ds/blob/master/snes9x_3ds.3dsx!
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
It does save SRAMs for many other games but apparently not for Yoshi's Island. I have no idea why either. Seems like a bug in Snes9x v1.43.

Well, here we go again!
v0.80 released
- Fixed NMI interrupt for specific games such as Cu-On-Pa. This allows Cu-On-Pa to get past the selection screen.
- Fixed ROM size calculation for Wonder Project J (English Patch). The game no longer hangs at the menu.
- Implemented optimized rendering for offset-per-tile modes. This gives many games a major performance boost. Games such as Strike Gunner STG, Tetris Attack, Kirby's Avalanche, Contra's Stage 1 Boss, Super Mario All-Stars' Super Mario 2 all benefit from this improvement.
- Implemented optimized rendering for sprites for modest performance boost.
- Used SPC700 core from Snes9x v1.51.
- Re-implemented an moderately optimized SA-1 core. Now games like Kirby Super Star, Super Mario RPG can boot. It will NOT run fast on the old 3DS currently, but it will run smooth on a new 3DS with full clock speed.

Outstanding! I never would have considered that SA1 games might be possible on the New 3DS.
@bubble2k16 Does it mean that we will be able to play them at full speed on o3ds in future?
@KJ1 - I have some ideas to implement speed hacks in a similar way Snes9x v1.43 used to have. But I'm not too sure how well it'll work, so don't get your hopes up.
Oh okay, thanks man! Will be eagerly waiting for it!@KJ1 - I have some ideas to implement speed hacks in a similar way Snes9x v1.43 used to have. But I'm not too sure how well it'll work, so don't get your hopes up.

@bubble2k16 have you looked into the bs-x stuff by chance. Literally have this installed for the moment I can play bs games.
