Homebrew Homebrew Emulator Compatability List for 4.X.X through 5.X.X (Helpful information)

[the_randomizer]

Most NES games got remade for GBA if I'm not mistaken or even the SNES.

And NES emulator would be nice no question about it.

Options are always great.

But the resolution and detail of NES games is not the greatest.

Snes is the emulator I think we will see pop up next or N64 but dont quote me just a prediction

We need hardware acceleration first, otherwise, they won't run well.

Very true, without that as we keep moving up the emulator food chain fps will start to go down and down. Each generation gets more demanding.

Mad some really big updates to the original post which should be very useful and help people save a bit of time getting to the right threads, save some time and get to having fun with these emulators.

All the best to everyone.

Will keep this thread updated with all the latest news, info and updates.

Most? There's so many fuckin' NES games you wouldn't believe it, especially if you include Famicom.

Nintendo sure does like to use old games and try to make them new again.

Some classics are timeless so I dont mind.

Other games should be forgotten lmfao

Do we need bios files for PFBA?

Bios files go in the roms folder within the pFBA folder.

I only have a few bios files, like Neo Geo ones.

The Nintendo DS emulator has been brought to the Nintendo DS on 4.0.0 through 5.0.2

Do they have to be specific names or can I just use the ones from that paradise site

Names can be left alone for the DS emulator as well as the GBA and GBC.

pFBA emulator needs the games named properly to what the emulator requires

Possible visual changes to GBA and GBC in the Homebrew app selection screen

 

[Leonidas87]

Compatability of games has increased drastically along with performance and big fixes.

Be sure to try out GBA, GBC and pFBA for all your emulator/virtual console needs.

Gba_bios.bin should go in the switch folder on your micro sd card which helps with gaming performance and glitches also.

Be sure to test GBA 8.0 and 8.5
