I didn't grow up with one, so I don't really know a lot of the "hidden gems", and I don't have any nostalgia for games on it that were better on other consoles/computers.On My! Sacrilege!... you should take seriously the incredible C64 game library
I think the game I've played the most on it is probably Sword of Fargoal (though I feel like the Vic20 version is easier). The Epyx games are pretty good too. Or the Turrican games, of course.
Oh, I know that, but it seems like a lot of the "top games" are just Spectrum games but with music added and lower resolution graphics. Or Atari games with choppier framerates.
The music is cool sometimes, but I'm more interested in the underdogs, or the games I can't play elsewhere.
I've never been into the cracking scene. Bugfixes and things are cool, but I always get annoyed at having to watch the cracktros every time.
BTW, might I suggest rearranging the touchscreen menu a little bit? Currently, the "swap disk" button is hidden behind the keyboard, so you have to hide and unhide it every time you need to swap.
...I thought I had another suggestion, but I can't remember what it was...

New version v1.5 is out. Here are the changes (not so many this time - the emulator is close to finished anyways):
https://github.com/badda71/vice3ds/releases
Have Fun!
- spin-off: Exerimental C128-emulator (.3dsx only). It runs ok, but VDC-mode is painfully slow. https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-vice3ds-c128-c128-emulator.545436/
- enhancement: added sampler device "3DS built in microphone audio input". Haven't you always wished to record 4bit samples with your 3DS that you can play on your C64 computer?
- enhancement: added sampler settings menu & other devices for joyports
- enhancement: add 'advance frame' menu entry to vice menu
- enhancement: show mouse button mappings on touchpad
- optimization: optimized keyboard handling (e.g. c-stick mapping & file dialogs)
- optimization: remove RS232 stuff from vice menu (wasn't working anyway)
- optimization: revamp build system, no more buildtools necessary

I always use the game Castle Wolfenstein for testing. I noticed in version 1.5 that the Turbo mode leads to Freezes in the presentation on the display. This reminds a bit of the "Vice menu sometimes does not update screen when navigating" issue. Nevertheless, it seems to continue in the background. This is mainly noticeable when opening chests to shorten the waiting time. That was not the case under version 1.4.
Hm, actually, nothing has changed in the code since 1.4 which could cause such behavior. The only thing I could think of is, that the compiler flags in the new makefile adapted from the devkitARM template are different and have an implact on performance. I'll check into this ...
This is the exact same issue i encountered using SDL 1.2 for 3DS trying to port cdogs and opentitus. Seems to be an issue with SDL rather then Vice3DS.
Great job on the port! @Badda
Jup, it’s a shame. Even worse, you can’t even run WTF, CWOT and FU2 files ... Sucks big time

Excellent emulator! Now Amiga, ZX Spectrum (not retroarch) and it is complet! By the way - ReSID implementation, is it possible or not? Some demos (mainly these working with adsr sample method, like Vicious SID and others) do not sound exact. If not, never mind. There are still tons of games and these works great!

There is a great and fully developed emulator called ZXDS, originally made for DS, which can be launched on the 3DS via flashcart. Some of its features inspired the GUI of Vice3DS.
If you don't have a flashcart, you can run it inside the DS "facilitator" Twilight by using this workaround, which I haven't tried personally though.

With some patience you can probably expect to see DS homebrew being launched from the 3DS homescreen one day.
Or somebody ports that ZXDS software so it can be natively run on 3DS.
I have no flashkart, but after hour of playing with ramdisk image, and renaming game names to 8.3 format, it works
Renaming to short names is essential, like Gadget 2006 writes in his post. But emulator still crashes too often, mainly after trying to load another game from file menu. Natively port for 3DS is nice idea, so maybe somebody can do it? I have too weak programming experience for do this. Retroarch's Fuse does not work for me (I did try many versions)Indeed. Resid would be nice. It will use more resources but should be usable. (Even my rs-97 with a 600mhz mips single core can run a lot of games well with resid active). Digitized audio on the c64 these days mainly uses the testbit/oscillator seek method as well as the single write d418 (6bit+ volume/filter switch) method which requires resid
Thanks to the author. I'm no C64 user but I did play it at a schoolfriend's place. His father had a ton of old computers on a room ans he let us play Outrun. I screwed his disk because I ejected it while playing.
His father also launched an helicopter game but I can't remember the name.

But other than PC and Amiga ports I don't think Time Soldiers had any game system ports after the Master System -

Ohhh just noticed that myself I bet it makes the Master System port look amazing by comparison lol

I didn't know they made an MSU cart for the Genesis.... I knew about the SNES one and the library for that is rather large but the Genesis one has very few games+1
