Homebrew About Genesis / Megadrive emulation...

[NFates]

Hi guys. I want to play a Genesis game in my Old 3DS (with CFW ). And thus, I wanted to know what's the best way for doing so and if there's a tool a New can use and an Old can't. I've heard about Picodrive and about a Forwarder maker, but what's the best way?

Thanks. The game is Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles, just in case.

So far, this method has been my favorite. It is just Retroarch/Genesis cores and makes them into a nice package CIA file you can install to the home menu.

But does thar game work fine on O3DS? And BTW, what's a forwarder? I always read the word but I don't know what it is.

A forwarder is essentially the same as a shortcut on Windows, basically instead of starting the emulator and selecting the Rom you just start the forwarder and it takes you straight to the games, also it looks nice.

That's an ELI5 definition. As a noob, I appreciate it.
