If it doesn't exist, rd_config.ini will be created. Some relevant options you can change are:
- maxcycles: A lower value will improve compatibility, but it will run slower.
- frmskip: Number of frames to skip before drawing.
- debug: If set to 1, prints debug info.
- sound: Enables sound.
- dynarec: If set to 0, tries to load the dynarec cache from a file instead of recompiling.

The 3DS is the perfect system to faithfully emulate the Virtual Boy. They have similar screen resolutions, the 3D effect is better and it's actually portable.
OK, but wasn't the Virtual Boy, like, the worst console ever?There were many reasons why it was commercial failure. That doesn't mean the console is bad, or the games aren't worth playing. It's definitely received way more hate than it deserved.
Plus, it has a nice homebrew scene with gems such as Hyper Fighting, Snatcher, and many more.
Do I need a new 3DS to run this?Plus, it has a nice homebrew scene with gems such as Hyper Fighting, Snatcher, and many more.
Unfortunately, yes. The old 3DS is too slow to run it at a playable speed. That might change in the future, but it's unlikely.
