Saves are stored on the virtual sd card that the emulator has in the same way a real 3DS saves them. I'm looking into some sort of tool (like Checkpoint) to dump decrypted saves so that they can be easily transported around and used either with a real 3DS or other emulators.
I assume shader caches are not transferable across anything, but I wouldn't know because I've never tested it.
Also, shader caches do contain some copyrighted game code, so I'm not sure about the legality of sharing them. I'd request that you don't share them in this thread, although I can't stop what you do elsewhere.
It's `sdmc:/switch/dekopon` for the full path. Dekopon supports custom directories for ROMs (normally `sdmc:/switch/dekopon/roms` and it's main folder (normally `sdmc:/switch/dekopon`). Subfolders of the main directory cannot be changed at this moment.
This seems like a good emulator to try out, I don't think I've ever seen 3DS emulators yet for the Switch. I thought the Switch scene was gone but it appears to be still alive.
This comes with quite a few new features that have been requested, including Amiibo, camera support, save management, USB ROM support, and auto-updating. I would recommend reading over the README before using these to see what is and isn't working, and how to use it.
You should clear your shader cache before using this version. While they should be automatically invalidated, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Shader compilation stutter should be reduced by a good bit, and async shader compilation is now fully async. This leads to some flickering while shaders are being compiled, but you don't have to deal with anywhere near as much stutter as before.
Besides that, don't expect a ton more performance overall than before. There may be a bit gained, but nothing crazy.
As always, please report any issues that you have and I'll do my best to look into them. Be sure to share logs too, they should be smaller now and easier to parse. Enjoy!
Also, not to be annoying, but if you enjoy my work, and are able to, you can donate to me here: https://ko-fi.com/palindromicbreadloaf. Don't in any way feel obligated to.
Nice update, being able to update in app is cool quality of life,
Btw would the code you made for updater be possible to implement into Nagas ports for Dolphin or Nethersx2?
Idk how code interacts with emulator, but would be nice

I have no idea how either of those ports work, nor the code behind them, but the structural code is fairly program-agnostic, so in theory it would. It's all GPLv2 licensed, so assuming licensing isn't an issue then it'd be able to be used for whatever.
