I want to play ActRaiser, Super Mario All-Stars, Super Mario RPG, Kirby Super Star, and Kirby's Dream Land 3 on my N3DS. How well do they run via custom SNES VC injections? I'm not talking about emulators like SNES9X, actual custom VC games. I was pretty disappointed when they stopped adding SNES VC games last year and I want to inject the ones that never made it to the 3DS eShop or Wii U eShop, for that matter. Do the SA1 games even run that well or are they very choppy?

You're better off using snes9x for better performance, if you want it to look like a VC title use a forwarder.

I tried SNES9X and it wasn't that great. ActRaiser has a weird glitch where I'm at Lv. 0 and I can't enter act 1-1 (Filmore).

Also RetroArch is a very buggy multi-emulator and it's very hard to use.

I never have issues with it, it's supposed to run SNES titles on o3ds so n3ds would be way more stable. What about retroarch? I say this because I don't thing Super Mario RPG would work in VC because of its graphics.

both those emulators work perfectly on my n3ds maybe you have a bad dump of it.

Most of those games use special snes enhancement chips inside of the cartridge. The only 2 games you listed that do not require these chips are ActRaiser and Mario all stars. Games with special chips cannot be emulated in the snes vc, and can only be run in snes9x, and the chips are hard to emulate, causing the games to lag.

Is there a list which games uses special chip?

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
