A user named RetroValou recently posted an emulator supporting dual screen on reddit.
I can't post links, so just search for "Game & Watch emulator on 3ds".

This one actually comes with a download link :)

Would you be so kind as to guide me through it? I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with python as I've never used such a program before. I got the roms but I'd like to make them usable with the Yokoi emulator on my 3ds. Any help would be immensely appreciated.
 
For those like me who struggle to create the roms pack, there is one already floating on the internet. Links aren't allowed here but sure you'll find it if you look hard enough.

Read in README.md /CONVERT_ROM/ -- 3 things you need to grab and install is 1. Latest python updated 2. Inkscape 3. devkitPro install all 3. You need least MAMEui 282 -285 and you need to take screenshots from MAME press F12 then rename all screenshot to match all roms. You need Artwork, Roms, and screenshots then go in powershell or cmd to process it. Depends what you got the less will be less time if you get lot then will take up your time. Can't do separate each at time. It Will build all in one pack.
 
I haven't tried it. It looks amazing though. I just hope 3D is used. On a real Game & Watch the background is on one piece of plastic and on top of that is the film/screen that shows the LCD graphics. Would be wonderful if that is recreated in the emulator I think.

Yeah it uses the 3D stereoscopic depth for graphics, even the rear 3DS camera for crystal screen games, they look and play pretty good tbh. Btw the emulator is not the same as the video from previous posts.
 
Hi everyone, I'm a huge Game & Watch fan. I recently sold the few I had; I miss them. But I installed Android on my Switch 1 and a version of RetroArch with the Game & Watch core and all the ROMs. It works really well. The Switch's screen aspect ratio is perfect for Game & Watch games, even in dual-screen mode when I put the Switch in TATE mode. Unfortunately, when I enable background graphics, it slows down and I get 40-45 FPS. Without the graphics, it reaches 60 FPS. I have the DS collections and the homebrew g&w games ported to 3ds, but unfortunately, there aren't many games. I'm still actively looking for a portable emulator that runs the games perfectly, but the Switch comes pretty close. I'd like to try this emulator and see what it offers. Greetings to all.
