So I've just seen a couple of comments lying around youtube where people are posting links to 3DS emulators. As far as I was aware, the best emulator for 3DS so far can only play Homebrew software, is that right or has there been a big step up in the Emulation scene?

This was one of the sites shown was at http://3ds.freeunlimitedgems.com/ (Sorry if this shouldn't be linked, just curious) and it looks a little sketchy to me but just looking for confirmation on 3DS Emulation status.

I'm not bothered about Emulating the system myself, just interested hahaha

EDIT: Citra is the one I'd heard about, though have noticed it's possible to run a selection of 3DS games, though not at high speed is that right too?

So 3dmoo has a LITTLE potential to be a 3DS emulator to run retail games? Could someone worm with it to run retail games?

3dmoo runs several commercial games...

Now obviously they aren't perfect yet but they do run.

3dmoo and Citra are advancing almost equally in terms of commercial support (a lot of the devs from each trade ideas/code around), so chances are that if you see a video which runs a game perfectly it's not either.

    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.

    @Maximumbeans, I had a friend who had a glass chess set for their birthday.

    It was like all clear and fancy. Tbf I'm not too experienced with chess, but would like to learn someday.

    That sounds really cool
