Hello, do you think the Nintendo 3DS hardware, supports these emulators run in full speed?

Probably yes, these emulator is very early, need a lot of optimizations, i am working on it, and remember, all of it work without 3DS GPU.

great work!! my main interest of homebrew is emulator I hope that someone makes Virtual Boy emulator on 3DS

 

[Leowell]

I'm very happy to see that we have a great future in emulation in 3ds.
Then I can retire my chinese android game XD
Good luck in your work

This is awesome news! Unfortunately I can't get in on this as I don't have a 3DS compatible with Gateway, but if Smea is a man of his word then I guess I can look forward to that.

Congrats devs.

Are there any plans on adding 3D support to games. If there was a configuration file that pointed to areas of the CHARROM to offset on the second screen layer. It would be amazing.

Yeah, i have plans to adding 3D on 3DNES :]
I will use the bottom-screen in future, just wait

Great job, but I believe that is better if you release the sources.

I have plans to release the source, but not now, soon :]

Yeah, just like you did with TronDS

2 - Do not use roms with big names and don't use a lot of roms, just 30 ~~ 40, i will up the max rom on folder.

It was the name length that was the problem. I only had 12 ROMs but one of them was "Deep Dungeon - Madou Senki (Japan) [En by KingMike v1.0].fds"

I took out the long names and left only Samsara Naga (Japan).nes (fan translation) and Tetris (USA) (Unl).nes (Tengen). Tetris worked, Samsara didn't (it does work in Mednafen on a computer).

Do you know what is the Samsara Mapper ?

It is 4, which you don't support yet, but I forgot to check to see if you supported it before copying the ROM.

That's great news. I can't wait until it gets to that point in development.

BTW, Congrats on the first "real" emulator for the 3DS!

 

[Deboog]

Woo congratulations!! Three years in and we finally get some real homebrew for the 3DS.

 

[SLiV3R]

Fantastic news. I cant try it.. Im on 7.xx
But if smea releases something, then i will!

Great job so far. Yeah, rendering everything manually will take up a lot of cycles normally meant for logic and such, especially with how primitive the tools are and how little we understand the hardware. The GBA is capable of doing full-speed NES emulation, so that should give us some insight as to what can potentially be done on the 3DS, a far more power machine, once the tools mature enough and the 3DS hardware is cracked open even more. I still have quite a bit of time of my XL's warranty, but once that expires, I plan to get it soft-modded (if that's a possibility) so I can take advantage of this stuff and possibly contribute.

Are you going to add support for custom mappers (to load hacked roms)? I'm asking because not all NES emulators for PC support this :/

 

[Tomobobo]

Hmm, I think the idea for making a custom 3DNES saves and roms folder is a terrible one. All emulators that do this really make things a pain in the ass. Everyone has their roms in a ROMS folder, not some special emulator for each set of roms, that'll never work across multiple platforms or programs.

What happens when another emulator comes out and they make you put your NES games in some other silly named folder.. Don't do that.

Just make the emulator only list .NES roms, save the .savs in the same directory and everybody's happy. No one sees saves while choosing roms and no one has to make specific directories on the SD card.

I dont know about you, but since GW saves its files at the SD card root, a lot of diferent emulator roms on you SD card root will make a lot of mess, when accesing it via pc, It's not that hard to make a folder to save your roms anyway, it's not like if you have to patch the Nes roms or something really tiring.

And i dont see another 3ds emu coming since 3ds scene is dead!.. We just got this guy making releasing useful homebrew!.... and why would someone bother to make something that was already done?
