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.

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.

    Why not they just mine Monero instead of scamming vulnerable people? If they have a decent machine they can hit a jackpot at any given time.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Bitcoin on the other hand, requires a very powerful mining rig and is more costly.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, different cultures so probably they have their reasons
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yes a $2,000 rig for $5 a day

    @Xdqwerty, Or could be in correlation to laws.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Technically, cryptocurrencies aren't illegal, as long as you don't use it for criminal activity. If you sign up with an exchange, and that they get a tip from law enforcement, they have the right to freeze your assets.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, Yea I heard law is vastly different there
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Nigeria's central bank did make crypto illegal before, until last year they lifted the ban. Always make sure to check before you exchange. ;)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, speaking of crypto i remember reading about a guy who spend like 10 grand bitcoin on a couple pizzas (when bitcoin wasnt as worthy as nowadays)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's mental. If he had saved up when Bitcoin sky-rocketed in price, then he might've become the next Jeff Bezos for all I know.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, he couldnt know the price was gonna skyrocket anyway
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Then it dropped sometime in 2022, 2021 was when it really went up in price.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, I also recall watching a video of some failed games with their own crypto currency or smth like that, lemme link it to you (it's in spanish tho)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I remember that. Didn't Steam ban games with NFTs before somehow devs managed to circumvent it? Think EA tried to dabble in NFTs too.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Glad to hear people realise that NFTs aren't worth it these days. They realise that they're JPEGs hosted on a file-hosting site like AWS or Google Drive.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Atleast it has captions
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Meta also tried to create their own crypto, but that fell through.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Was called Libra, they had around 100 employees and wanted to hire more near to end of the year.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, idk why facebook tried to do that metaverse thing if mmo games already existed before
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And Yea I refuse to call it meta
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I refuse to call it Meta, too. It's a stupid name.
    +1
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, then why did you call it like that a minute ago?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    I don't get why Facebook ever wanted to dabble into virtual reality, when other companies were doing it.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Just to emphasize on what I mean.
