Hey everyone,
Trying to figure this out but I'm not finding any other posts about this.
I want to organize my 3ds to have each block/channel as an emulator. Similar to wbfs files for wii. Does anyone know how to do this? I see things like retroarch and twilight++ but these are all included. I want to have the specific emulators each as a block on my home menu.
Would appreciate any help and/or direction on how to proceed.
Thanks

It is relatively easy to do , Google an emulator adding .cia at the end of the emulator here an example: Emulatorsnames.cia

Also you could use the search option in gbatemp there is plenty of thread here with info on where to get them , also don't forget to follow instruction as to where to put roms some emulators are sensitive to that.

Edit: Don't forget to search for your game on your own as it is against the rulez to ask for games and to finish you could also use forwarder to have individual games as a icon.

I did try googling emulator names with cia but I wasn't having too much luck finding instructions for how to place base files. I will have a closer look in GBA temp and let you know then.
Thanks for the reply!

You should note that retroarch comes with the .cias for all of its emulators. It's in the retroarch folder you download. This loads you straight into that emulator, or cores as they call them.

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.

    Either that or their old games were unfinished aswell but we can't notice it

    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So that version is semi rare
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, I have a rom of the ds version of impossible mission
