Homebrew 3DS Emulators for PC and Smartphone.

[Jekomon]

So my a bunch of my friends got hooked again in Pokemon. So i need your help guys.

1. Is the a 3DS Emulator for smartphone? Can it play pokemon XY?
2. Please baby step me along the way and bear with me. I tried googling it but i find the words hard to understand.

PS: We just want to play good Pokemon.

Nope and nope.

Citra is the best 3DS emulator and doesn't have full Pokemon support. And it hasn't yet been ported to mobile devices.

 

[James310]

Nope and the one for pc is bearly stable with any game but it's progress so no 3ds emulator exist that's for playing games

 

[Deleted User]

Hahahaha...NO. There isn't and there won't be for a loooong time.

 

[James310]

Btw a refurbished 2ds costs $60 which is the price of a console game...

1. No, probably never will be, there is one called Citra for PC though, but is no way in a playable form yet.

Just save some money and buy a 2DS. They are only 100 bucks, and are really good systems. You can also buy a second hand regular 3DS for 80 bucks.

There will inevitably be a 3ds emulator for android at some point.

Thanks guys. Guess we'll stick with the old GBA Emu.

 

[Jekomon]

No problem. By the way, welcome to GBATemp!

Thanks bro. I have a o3DS but its on 10.6 so no homebrew. Downgrading is out of option since the entry points require buying things.

 

[Jekomon]

You could just wait for a freehax exploit (A exploit that is free)

Yup that's what im doing. Anyway so there is no 3DS Emulator for phones right? how about 2DS that can play pokemon games?

 

[Jekomon]

2DS is just a 3DS without the 3D functionality. It's a great option for anyone that wants to get into the 3DS, or never uses the 3D feature.

Sorry, im just new to this kind of things. So youre telling me that there is also no phone Emulator for 2DS? Thats sad.

 

[Jekomon]

Emulators for 3DS have only just now started to happen, so it's gonna take a while for things to catch up. Dolphin took forever to get perfect GC and Wii Emulation at full speed, so we will just have to assume the same for this.

Thanks bruh. You da man.

Nah it was patched in 10.6

If you get an nds emulator you can play pokemon right up to black 2/ white 2

Citra is still being developed, I would guess 1.5 to 2 years before someone puts Citra on an android smartphone. No doubt they'll be powerful enough by then. Right now it's only for pc.

You can play pokemon on citra, but the roms have to be decrypted first. It's also not full speed on even the most powerful computers.

As an addendum, since the topic starter is from the Philippines. There's no such thing as refurbished 3DS here......

In the local marketplace, second hand prices :
2DS = $80, the same as the Classic 3DS.
3DS XL = $130
N3DS = $200

Brand New stuff :
2DS = $140
3DS XL = $210
N3DS = $260.

Yes IMO it's overpriced.

Because no official Nintendo store in our country. The sellers usually import stuff from Maxsoft. Which is in singapore if I'm not mistaken. So yeah, overpriced.

Wow games are expensive where you are from here in Scotland new 3ds games are like 20 to 30 pounds that works out round about 25 to 30 dollars

 

[Buttsnake]

Depends, how powerful is your smartphone?

If it takes too much time to create a bearable 3DS emu on x64 architecture, what makes you think they will create one on ARMv8?
