Its posible work on O3DS this?

  • *fb alpha cps1 (Capcom Playsystem 1 emulator)-
  • *fb alpha cps2 (Capcom Playsystem 2 emulator)-
Give up on retroarch running properly on o3ds. Not gonna happen. Those emulators will get you around 20fps. For consoles, use bubble2k16's nes/pce/gen/snes emulators and mame2000 on retroarch for those old games like digdug.

what about GBA? (and no VC inject is not an option here)

If you have twloader it has GBARunner2 built in, all you have to do is have a folder at the root of your sd called gba and place all your games inside that folder with your gba bios renamed to bios.bin. some games have to be patched to allow saving, but it works good on my o3ds

GBARunner in TWLoader doesn't work for me (white screens).
GBARunner in DSONE works, but the Pokemon Hacks I want to play don't work(freeze in opening movie or title screen).
mGBA works but too slow on O3DS.

have you tried it lately? there was a release of TWLoader like 5 days ago, also, did you install all of the cia files stored in SD:/_nds/twloader/cias?

what did you mean by you get a white screen? in a ds game? if so you need to set mario kart ds as the donor rom, as for gbarunner you have to press start in twloader and select rom type and go to "Gameboy Advance Start GBARunner2"

already set MKDS as donor ROM and Pokemon Platinum is working fine.
I don't insert any cartridge and I press Start button in cartridge slot -> Select ROM Type -> GBA, then white screens.

Hi guys, I'm (still) having problems with the GBA emulator ( "this core requires a content file" ), and the interface still freezes when navigating. (I'm on new 3ds, tested the official and nightly builds).

That's strange, since the nightlies (not release) fixed the freezing. Also, for gpsp, did you remember the GBA BIOS file?

They are just as visible as the new versions.
Go to https://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/
Pick a version number.
Go to /nintendo/3ds/
Done.
There aren't versions below 1.6.7 :-/

EDIT: I've tried the latest nightly build. Now the interface works fine . Sadly, the GBA emulator (still) doesn't work (even so, thank you. That's progress ♡♡)

It's available on the 3DS now.

The standalone Neo Geo core still sounds bad, but I tried the big FB Alpha cia and Neo Geo games sound fine on that. Huh.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
