It's pretty cool how Rayman 1 runs at 45-55fps using pcsx in o3DS. Not full speed but definitely playable

What? PSOne games? At high framerates on O3DS?
Time to dig into my game collection...

As impressive as it is, the person has a 9.2 O3DS so it will be using dynarec. It won't run like that for .3dsx users.

I think at this point the number of 9.2 users has exploded because of the downgraders. I am one of these, yes.

So I tried playing Tales of Phantasia and Tales of Destiny yesterday. The problem is the sound. When I use sound sync the games run at 45 fps but when I turn the option off I have around 80 fps which is too fast.

I kept searching for an option to limit the FPS to 60 but I couldn't find anything. Is there such an option?
Or does anyone have another suggestion how to run those two games in a better way?

Settings / Throttling / Maximum run speed 1.0x

One question:

I have been testing all the filters. Many of them will slow down the emulators to around 50 FPS. Is this really normal? Perhaps it is time for me to delete my retroarch cfg file?

Radius4 · Feb 11, 2016

Filters are CPU based, so yeah it's normal

sj33 · Feb 12, 2016

It's why I don't use any filters at all.

HELP! I can't seem to load Knuckles Chaotix! It always says: "RetroArch [libretro ERROR] :: plat_men_set_exec called with no svcControlProcessMemory access." Then it freezes. I have no idea what that means. I tried for 2 days and no luck. I have the BIOS files and everything. I'm using Picodrive on an old 3DS. Please tell me whats wrong. Thank you.

Picodrive only works as a CIA. Are you using the cia?

No, I'm not sure how to set up the cia version. Perhaps you could me directions please? But I can Genesis games just fine on Picodrive, just not 32x games...

You install it as with any other CIA file and then boot it up like with any other app in your Home menu, you should have no problems there.
And I meant 32x games through Picodrive require CIA AFAIK, otherwise 32x won't work.

FYI as of 2-12 build, Load Content still freezes all the emulators.

Is this the right link for the cia downloads...https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/nintendo/3ds/ (sorry for all the stupid questions, I'm new...)

So only build 1 works, if so, where can I find it?

Yep that's the link, just get the package that says CIA at the end of the .7z file.

So I downloaded and extracted the latest one (2016-02-12_RetroArch_cia.7z2016) So, where do I put the extracted files?

Stardust3033 · Feb 12, 2016

When I put the files in the 3DS folder it doesn't appear in Hombrew.

wangtang32000 · Feb 12, 2016

i love all the information that's posted on the 1st page of this topic. nice work!

But how do I unselect filters? On Gambette and pc-engine filters are really looking good. But it is not necessary on snes, Megadrive etc.

sj33 · Feb 12, 2016

A lot of people have commented about filters applying automatically for some reason, so I just deleted the filter folder completely.

Neither the Old nor New 3DS really have the free CPU resources to waste on filters.

pdapanda · Feb 12, 2016

for gpsp， most filters won't slow down the emulation ，I mean cia on n3ds . I think retroarch should add the screen shots feature for 3ds builds.
