Homebrew 3DSNES - Is this real?

[Reecey]

Are you even reading what we are saying? Your SNES emulator will not allow for the full top screen to be your screen, and is instead restricted to the dimensions of DS games on the 3DS. A natively 3DS running SNES, GBA, etc. emulator will allow for the full top screen to be utilized. This means a bigger screen, this is interesting. Furthermore, the DS emulation of SNES and GBA games were not perfect, the 3DS would likely be far better at emulation given that it is a more powerful machine. Stereoscopic 3D gameplay may very well be a future feature for all roms for these emulators too. (Think the 3D classics Kirbys Adventure or the 3D Genesis Sonic games, as great examples of what this could mean for ALL of your oldschool games). Then of course the implications for other emulators we never saw on the DS and never will, it likely could handle emulating some PS1 and N64 games. Plus we could see a Virtual Boy emulator that allows us to experience the few great tiles on that system in stereoscopic 3D without having to put your eyes up to that ridiculous old red machine.

Have you not looked at the video properly?, he is not using the whole screen its the same dimensions as the emulator CATSFC for the DSTwo, no difference.

That is because he is playing an NES emulator. The NES was released at a time when TVs had different dimensions than what we see today. Heck even the official NES VC games on the 3DS adhere to these dimensions. Yet the GBA VC titles on the 3DS make use of the larger screen, and a GBA emulator for the 3DS would do so as well. Furthermore, since it is an early demo, don't discount the thought that they could easily add an option to the emulator to stretch the screen for NES emulation if you wish. This is a feature that the 3DS is capable of, its not yet shown off, but it will absolutely be a thing in future releases of emulator for native running on the 3DS, the dstwo will never allow for this on the 3DS. We're excited for what this means, not what it is so far. Give it time, when this is officially released, you will understand how much more exciting this is than emulation achieved through a dstwo

It is just an early prototype, a proof of concept, that is why he isn't using the full screen, heck, it doesn't even have music support.
Also back in the NES days, we used Square-shaped TVs, the Widescreen format just got popular back in 2009-ish iirc.
Also I love how the title says 3DSNES instead of 3DNES, it is a NES Emulator, not a SNES Emulator in the vid.

It's my first release, there is a long way in this dev ;}

Is it possible to play on the bottom screen?

Yeah, if i change the draw to bottom screen work fine :]

I keep seeing it as SNES, but it's actually 3DS------NES not a mistake in the title
I do think 3DNES would save confusion, and leave 3DSNES name available for a snes emu

The video's title is 3DNES and the GBATemp.net's topic title is mistyped, that was what I meant, the correct title name would be 3DNES - Is this real?

Why are people saying this is not exciting/pointless because you can do this on a DS flashcart? While it's true that there is a NES emulator for the DS, seeing it running on 3DS natively is great news for other homebrews on the 3DS. I don't see why you would want to be stuck with the limitation of making homebrews for the 10 year old DS hardware. 3DS hardware is much more powerful, thus means you can do much more with it.

it is pretty pointless, because it's running on the 3ds without having access to any services that would make it useful. it wastes most of the power that people are excited about. you get access to a core, but none of the good stuff.

except you know what this can mean for the future of emulation on the 3DS. I love that people are only taking this at face value and not even attempting to think about what this can mean for the future of emulation on the 3DS.

 

[Bond697]

it doesn't mean a damn thing. you have no idea what you're talking about. the real "future of emulation on the 3ds" is smea's ctrulib + tools + (possibly) redirected nand.

Sorry cool guy, i can't reboot the 3DS or exploit the 3ds without broken services yet, but when i got it, i will release to community and improve my emulator :]

I don't really see what is so great and exciting about it, I mean I'm not knocking the bloke but its nothing really original or new! also he does use the top screen only, exactly the same as the DSTwo and its the same dimensions as the DSTwo emulator not the full screen.

3DS mode has more CPU power, which equates to better emulation.

I don't see why you would want to be so disrespectful for people who are actually trying.....sure having full access to the actual services on the 3ds will be much better, but it's not released is it.......so people are working with what's available to them Right now no point trying to put people down when the stuff you are talking about is currently unreleased.

 

[matpower]

tbh we should be trying to help him instead of complaining if it is useful or not, after all, progress is made from what people thinks it is useless.

"Oh my gawd, a brand-new emulator on a barely researched platform with no dedicated development libraries is worse than emulators that have gone through numerous revisions over the course of many years on a well-documented platform with easily available libraries, how pointless!" - this thread in a nutshell.

Sorry but I do agree with this guy, it is pretty pointless!. For a start we can play Snes games already on the 3DS and along side many other emulators, just go and buy a DSTwo/DSONEi and don't be so cheapskate, its nothing new or tbh a fantastic break through!. Real exciting stuff for the 3DS would be running Gateway on Firmware after 4.5.0 or even better some sort of Homebrew app to be able to run 3DS roms without the need of a card, now to me that sounds exciting news not something that we already have at our finger tips and have had for along time now! But the designer for the code please don't get me wrong, no offence at all to yourself its just my own opinion on it!

So you just want piracy without flashcards or Gateway(A piracy-only device) on a newer firmware.

Do you not understand that 3DS Mode has several times more resources and processing power than DS Mode, even with a DSTwo? Because that's essentially the point here.
