Easiest way would be to offer a bounty probably a few thousand to get any attention to it. and wait to see if anyone is bothered to make such a thing.
Are you expecting the emulator to magically poof itself into existence? Or perhaps you simply just didnt read the other thread you posted in. its got listed what you need to understand.
Shut up it's not my fault I don't know anything about emulators only things I know are anything but that and what other thread tell me its name

Your best bet is wait until some future retroarch version supports that old hardware. As of now, there isn't any retroarch core related.
why are you so angry? You're essentially begging for someone to create something JUST for you, for no money, that nobody else wants or is gonna use, and when someone points out how silly that is you get offended.
Dang, bro. Didja wake up on the wrong side of the bed or something?
No need to be hostile. We're a supporting community that brings others up, but if you're rude none of us will want to help you.
Emulating a system on another system isn't easy. It often requires lots of manual work, and that can take a very long time to implement. I'd recommend checking out if any applications can already run that on the 3DS, and if not, oh well. You can learn how to emulate if you'd like but it is very very difficult for a beginner.
Why you mad? Devs make homebrew that they are interested in or paid to make. Since it wasn’t made already, then there isn’t an interest. You are going to need to give something other than your want for this emulator to exist. Or just learn to code

My question is HOW TF DID THIS BLOW UP SO FAST!
All I asked was a SIMPLE QUESTION!

Why would you want to emulate a shitty handheld on a relatively better console? Its not possible.
Nintendo when people ask them why DS games aren't playable on the Switch:

Game com had 2 cartridge slots, touch screen and online play b4 D.S. The pack-in software and interface was fairly robust (came with Lights Out/Solitaire/calendar) it was like an alternate timeline when Tiger Electronics actually made an ambitious handheld after all those LCD games, but it really happened

Since when did this relate to my post? Regardless, I don't like the Game com, mainly because of how limited the hardware is compared to the competition and was way ahead of its time. Tiger mainly focused on LCD games, that after playing them for 5 minutes, you'd be bored shitless.
Before this gets closed or moved to EoF, let me leave my two Eurocents here...
Game.com (or as known internally "Tiger DMG") apparently uses a bog-standard SHARP microcontroller with a built-in monochrome LCD interface.
Other than a vastly different instruction set (which is undocumented btw), it's indeed basically a weird Game Boy with Game Boy Color features on a chip.
I don't think it could run at full speed on an old3DS (I'm serious), but other than the fully undocumented instruction set, everything else is documented, so it's definitely doable.
In fact, there are so many similarities with the Game Boy and Game Boy Color, that I think I can infer the cycle timings for almost all of the instructions, and possibly even the CPU bugs as well, without even owning a Game.com myself.
Don't wait for me to do it though. I'm sadly very busy with other things.

It blows my mind that this thing existed around the same time as the Game Gear and the Gameboy Color, yet was both vastly superior and inferior to both in many different ways.

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.+1 -

@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.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+1 -

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
