Sigh... It could handle up to PS1/N64 and likely PSP at a decent speed. Beyond that is not only an issue of power, but an issue of there hasn't been any good emulation code written for the newer systems, even on a powerful PC it is unplayable. And for those doubting N64 emulation, Daedalusx64 for PSP gets pretty close to full speed in all games and PSP is significantly less powerful than 3DS, with a dedicated enough team behind the emulator it is definitely powerful enough.


Please don't reply with false information. You have no odea what you're talking about. It cannot handle PSP, and will likely have more issues with N64 than the PSP did. Maybe PSX at "okay" speed.

No.

I wish people would stop making these kinds of threads :(
Me too.

I dislike when people assume a systam can emulate another simply because it's "more powerful".

The PSP and the 3DS hold different tech. Depsite being more powerful, the 3DS will probably not run N64/PSX emulators even close to as well as the PSP had. More power =\= better emulators. There's more to factor in.

Based on what limitations exactly? Please go on with some detail on what would hold the 3DS back.

Anyone thinking to emulate any console, at any reasonable speed, in the time frame of the Gamecube and above is hoping that they can use a Sa'angreal to make their 3DS go faster (Or basically, they are delusional or simply not knowledgeable on the subject lol). I would have to say no currently about the PSP, but im not entirely sure on how hard it would to be able to emulate the MIPS hardware at that speed.

Before asking for any homebrew people should ask for SDK first...
Without SDK, no homebrew ! And think that people able to make a convenient SDK aren't interested in emulator so they won't release such homebrews...

power saving features, lower and smaller opcodes, lower bandwidth: ARM

power hungry, lots of opcodes unused, faster raw processing, because of more opcodes running at same time, faster bus bandwidth: RISC

if (timeline*handling opcodes:[opcode*n cycles] [ARM] > RISC)
//can handle RISC opcodes on realtime, with proper support

else
//no way ARM can keep up RISC opcodes on real time

//no way you can get the RISC CPU to sync other *emulated hardware* (required for some games)

The 3DS won't be able to emulate pretty much what you asked. There is a possibility but a slim chance, and running at 1 FPS. So, I guess it's safe to say that most developers won't spend time porting the emulators on the 3DS. However I can be wrong. There are multiple handhelds made that are made solely to emulate old nostalgist consoles. I'm on the hunt for a good one also. I would suggest you taking a look at JXD s5110b.

It doesn't have nearly enough ram to run dolphin. Even if it did, it wouldn't be faster than 1-2 fps anyway. PSP is the only one in that list that might even have a chance of running not too terribly.

Full speed SNES and Genesis would make my day, throw in a TG16 emulator for some added fun. lol

Emulating home system on a portable does have some problems. A lot of game with small bullets on the screen worked fine on a 19 inch or larger TV, shrunk down to a 7 inch or smaller screen those same small bullets are now almost invisible :(

Making one of my favorite genre's of the 16 bit era really hard to play on the go lol

Just get an android phone with a GameKlip. I bet in around 2 years phones will be powerful enough for at least some playable Dolphin games.

Heck i'd be happy with a GBA or SNES emulator with built in cheat search function. a portable ps2 would be awesome, but i see no hope for that on the current handhelds. course i don't know anything about coding and system specs. ...

The 3ds will be able emulate the same systems as the PSP, minus N64 and will face difficulties with the Ps1 emulation. While more powerful than the Psp, the 3ds uses arm cpu, not mips. MIPS was also used on ps1 and n64, so emulation of those machines is vastly more efficient on the Psp. The 3ds is more powerful, but not that much...

The 3ds is horrendously weak hardware, you will be lucky to see full speed super fx chip snes games emulated on it.

Yeah, it seems like it is the way Nintendo avenges their previously hacked handhelds, maybe they did it on porpouse. Anyway, let's wait until someone releases a new flashcart with a special onboard chip and devs feel encouraged to develop for it.

To be 100% frank, a Dreamcast emulator isn't entirely out of the question. We've seen a PoC version of nullDC on the PSP and that hardware is infinitely weaker than the 3DS. Now, mind you, don't expect full speed but it's within the realm of "playability". That being said though, don't expect anything beyond that.

As for iOS and Android, as far as I know, the 3DS doesn't even meet the minimum requirements for either of those, plus iOS is a locked system anyways.

On-board chips aren't nearly as helpful as you think it is - the bandwidth of the cartridge slot as well as the GPU and RAM are still bottlenecks plus there's only so much power you can draw from the cartridge slot. Don't expect mirracles - we would've seen a PS1 emulator on the DS running on the DSTwo by now if that's all you'd need.

how about psvita power is possible to have ps2/wii emu ?
The Vita will be able to emulate whatever psp emulates, n64 full speed, ds full speed,dreamcast and saturn. it will also emulate the 3ds full speed, if someone writes a good emulator...Anything above is out of the question.
