Apparently it fully plays Pokemon Z but no other games.
Well, by the time this can play games, it'll probably be "Pokemon Awesome Y" and "Pokemon eXtreme X" coming out.
Seems like about a year and a half.

It's taking longer with the 3ds (3 yrs & counting) due to the complexity of the machine and its security. Another issue is the amount of talent drain from console homebrew to the mobile scene.
I mean, it's a whole different system entirely, and fairly more complex than the extremle low spec DS. Things like this will take a long time, possibly even until the 3DS succesor comes out.
I wouldn't count on this or any other games being playable for a good long time...and a game that's not yet released depending on the games complexity may take YEARS before it works properly. Castlevania 3 for NES rings a bell as it took over a decade for it to get up and running properly in most emulators.
99.9% sure an emulator will exist at some point in time could be tomorrow (very unlikely) could be in 37 years, nobody can really say atm
Ps. its only 99.9% just in case the Apocalypse happens
pps this is already a "working" emulator i assume you mean a emulator that runs retail games though
Even then you will need a high end PC which probably costs 2-3x as much as a 3DS.
I thought this was the general idea of emulation? If you want to play it, buy the hardware. If you just want to benefit from this, you gotta wait it out. That's the way I always looked at it.
Satisfaction = buy hardware
Benefit = wait for developers to emulate
Yes, but a LOW END PC already costs 3x as much as the 3DS. A high end PC is more like 6x as much.
Playing on a real system is usually a much better experience than playing it on a computer, sure, some PSX and Wii games can look much nicer with the proper filters, however, handheld games don't usually fit into those.
While the 3D might be a gimmick, so is the gyroscope and a lot of 3DS games actually use it.

@BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.+1
...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s! -

@K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
