Can somebody PLEASE explain the difference between this ultimate "forwarder" and the ultimate Injector release?
 
Can somebody PLEASE explain the difference between this ultimate "forwarder" and the ultimate Injector release?

The "Injector" takes your ROM and packages it into Nintendo's own SNES emulator that it uses for official SNES virtual console games. The good things about this is that compatible games typically run very well and it uses the exact same interface as the official SNES VC games for pause/reset/restore points. The bad thing is that not all games work with it, such as games that use special chips like Star Fox, Kirby Superstar, Mario RPG and the like. I think it also can't run Star Ocean, and Dragon Quest III, simply because the ROMs are too big. And, of course, N3DS is required to run them, just like the official SNES VC.

The "Forwarder" packages your ROM into an emulator developed by the community instead of Nintendo's official one. You could just install an emulator as a CIA and put your ROMs into a folder, but this option is self contained and looks more official. It looks like the real thing on your home screen and it has save-states like the official one, but there's less polish. The pros are better comparability with special chips and huge ROMs than Nintendo's option. Also, some emulators will run on O3DS, but this forwarder doesn't currently use any of them. However, compatibility still isn't perfect. For instance, Mario RPG still has some graphical glitches in the background and Kirby's Dream Land 3 renders water as opaque, so you can't really play underwater sections... at least until a new version is released that might have more compatible emulators.

Injectors are currently available for NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA, Game Gear, and TurboGrafx, all using official VC and boasting mostly excellent compatibility. Forwarders are currently available for SNES and Sega Genesis.

Will there still be SNES9X/BlargSNES implemented in this forwarder still? I read from the OldSNES post that you might do it? o:
 
This message for Asdolo, I know your a great key figure in the 3ds community and i love your SNES VA program. And its really good for n3ds users, not so much for o3ds. I noticed in the program theres a section to select 4 different emulations. I is possible to add 1 more emulation file using the blargSnes codex. Could you include that on the nexted update version for use o3ds guys?
 
Hey, I didn't think you could get Super mario RPG to work on the 3DS. It's possible to play it on the 3DS?

Can someone tag Asdolo, cause the snes9x core in his program is only optimized for the n3ds. If he could add the snes9x core thats optimized for the o3ds that would be sweet for all 3ds users, cause it runs 60fps on o3ds. currently using the snes9x 3ds 1.11.cia,

here is the source for the optimized snes9x core for the o3ds

Sure. @Asdolo

@Asdolo Is it possible you could create one of these forwarder makers for NES games? I have a particular rom hack for the NES that if i try to do a straight up inject with your NES inject tool, it doesn't work properly, it loads but the graphics are a mess and you can't progress into any one of the games within the game. (The rom in question is The Super Mario All Stars NES hack). Yet I can load the game up in the 3DS utilizing available NES emulators on the 3DS. I'd really like to be able to build a standalone VC looking .cia of this game. Please let me know if this would be possible. Thanks!

Already done in my New Super Ultimate Injector. Let me know if you want to test it :)
