New to 3DS hacks and feel stupid asking. How do I get this to launch? I'm in the homebrew launcher and none of the files appear to be executable. Do I have to install it somehow with FBI?

Install the cia with fbi. Put the contents of the included 3ds folder into the 3ds folder already on your sd card.

ok, I know this is absurd. what happened if you managed to get the 3D to work with the 3ds? I'm not kidding that would be pretty dam cool. such as playing wario land in 3D.

Thanks V0ltr0n. I think I downloaded the source instead of the release. Got it going now, or at least operating to the best of its abilities. I gasped when it was in 3d, then had a sad when Teleroboxer glitched out and crashed.

Glad to see u got it running. I really hope this becomes playable at a good framerate in 3d. It's a perfect way to revive the virtual boy.

I've actually tried running the recent .3dsx binary release on my New 3DS, when I boot a game (such as Mario Clash), it doesn't load past the Automatic Pause screen.

I might have to check the .ini configuration and see if I can get it to work. I know it works well on my Original 3DS, but at a very slow framerate.

This emulator looks very promising, I would love to see more progress on the emulator. It's perfect for 3DS consoles, especially since it can actually take advantage of the parallax barrier display too.

@danielps :
Maybe this summer will be more news/updates about this emulator?

I hope you had completed your studies (this course)

I am testing it with Wario Land, but as you said on github, It only boots...

Thanks a lot for your hard work!

Best of luck!

I would love this to come to fruition, really would be amazing to get VB games playable with 3d effects without having bulky (and prone to breaking down) hardware. you are doing the lords work here

Yeah, hopefully VitaGL (OpenGL) will improve this and other Emulator's Performance.
Slightly Off-Topic, but wondering why other RetroArch Emulators get Improved, but VirtualBoy stays the same, like nothing is being done with it.

This is already working and it's beautiful!

Btw, @danielps the emulator runs great, FPS is always around 30-59 on my N3DS, but there are games where it occasionally drops to 10FPS (like Galactic Pinball).
It also crashes always when loading another ROM. Some games even don't start (like Mario Clash, only has a screen with some tiles) and many games have garbled graphics (like Mario's Tennis). And last loading zipped roms doesn't seem to work. I'm sure you're aware of them all already. Just wanted to collaborate a little to this great functioning emulator! Thanks for all your efforts!

This is the only emulator I care about on the 3DS homebrew scene. It's the only one that's accomplishing quite a feat by improving upon everything that makes up the Virtual Boy itself. I'm looking totally forward for this to run perfect some day as I now have a New 3DS. Thank you OP.

thats a good point to be fair. i mean in the end with other console such as NES its really the same experience when using an emu. but with r3Ddragon if we can get 3D right on the emulator which is a unique feature for the 3DS then it would make more sense then other emulators. end of the day we can run most emulator which runs on the 3DS on every other device with all due respect to the other emulators and devs on 3DS.

I sure wish I could help in some way. This seems like the best possibility to emulate the full VB experience, with the features and resolution matching so well.
