Yes, that is true, now I myself am waiting for version 0.3 to see if there exist any higher frames in the Old 3DS.
There won't be. I don't get why this thread is full of O3DS hopefuls who think software can do more than the hardware it runs on. Buy an N3DS already. They're pretty cheap these days.

For some third world countries a N3DS costs rougly the equivalent to a minimum wage. Maybe even more.
20-50k pesos here in argentina. Many people's salary is around 20k. Just so you understand other people's reality a little better...

(the prices are overly bloated by asshole sellers? yes, sure. But still, that's the price they go by here, unless you're lucky with 2nd hand, it's surely NOT cheap)

This is reality, unless nintendo/sony are willing to sell at a loss in non-1st world countries. Minimum wage here is around 1.36USD/per-hour for goodness sakes. Late stage capitalism knocking...

Im from Argentina, so i know what you are talking about (Lucky me, i buy the New 3DS when it came out, it cost me 4000 pesos). But even if i understand the situation, this people should stop asking for optimizations for old 3DS when the creator of this port stated that this is aimed for N3DS. Im not telling the people ¨Just buy a New 3DS¨ because i dont know what is their financial situation (to be honest, im having serious problems on that area) but asking for more optimizations for old 3DS when it will never be possible because the hardware limitations its just pointless.

If this is the case, there are cheaper Android devices that can run Mupen. I sympathize, as that is the unfortunate reality, and part of that reality is that this will never be playable on an O3DS.

I tested it on 3dsxl playing Paper Mario, run at average 10fps
The application crash upon closing
Amazing work. Hope to see some improvement in the future

I remember trying to play Mupen64 on my Android Galaxy S4 back in the day...2.0 GHz (1,5 GB RAM?!), solid performance back in the day. It did not run as well as I expected it would with this amount of power.

Even a Raspberry 3 (1,5 GHz) struggles heavily with N64. An overclocked 4+ (2.0 GHz, 4 GB RAM) finally shows some good results.
Old 3DS has an ARM11 Dual-Core 268 MHz (128 MB RAM)

These devices has almost double or triple the power of the N3DS has to work with. So I can sympathise with you and I kinda see why still 'hope' for miracle and come a cross s bit to desperate. But you really should search for an other alternatives that has the power to run this.

I also got mine (O3dsXL) for 5000 pesos, second hand, a year ago. Got lucky there.
Sure i agree on your point. I'm hopeful that the performance on O3DS will improve but im not gonna keep asking and demanding because i got it, fezz said he's aiming and working for the N3DS and the O3DS is quite underpowered to even possibly get better than it runs now, so that's it. I'll test the further releases but i don't hope it to run well, but as Joom said, we have a lot of other options to emulate N64 so it's not a big deal

It's not much better in the US when you adjust for everything. A large portion of this country can't even afford rent on a single paycheck. It's not like those in the US have cash to sling frivolously, especially when half the country is unemployed right now.

This thread is about an N64 emulator built for N3DS. Can we please keep the political and economic discussion in an appropriate place?
Well. seeing as it was about people that should get ahold of a new 3ds instead of whining able old 3ds performance. It was somewhat relevant to people upgrading their devices.
