Homebrew Official Citra - New 3DS Emulator

[dubbz82]

Theroetcally once commercial games are up and running, full speed probably won't be difficult. Hardware wise the 3ds isn't all that powerful. There's still a lot of work to be done though.

Nice to see a real 3DS emulator being developed! I was sure that the 3DS would never get an emulator seeing all the fake ones online, but I guess I was wrong.

Also, I made an icon for the program in case you're looking for one :

limewire called..

 

[RenegadeKid]

It's not for playing games, it's more of a developers tool. (Presently)

Ok.

Well anyway still good job to the OP.


Yeah the icon looks like the one made for Limewire.

 

[Dilute]

I'm no developer, but I'm really good at graphics, so if you guys want an icon for the program, I'd like to help you guys out

i know that :3 but you never know what happens if you wait :3 and beside i can have my hopes up without crying to play that game by buying it >.<
(pretend you didnt hear crying)

Why would someone cry from buying something they want? o.O

Anyway, even though I doubt I'll ever use a 3DS emulator in the upcoming years sine my 3DS gets it's fair shair of use, I imagine such a thing would be useful for translations as well besides homebrew, seeing as a lot of DS translations were tested on emulators and the like.

I wonder how they figured out to emulate a small subset of the 3DS' hardware.

Honestly, I don't expect to see full 3DS emulation soon, or any console that uses encryption and signing for their data ( Xbox 360, PS3 and etc.. ). The Wii was easily hackable so it doesn't count.

Does this or will this eventually play 3ds roms?

It doesn't play 3DS roms yet, but it's goal is to be able to play 3DS roms someday, when 3DS gets fully hacked.

It's an arm CPU emulator, configured to act in accordance with what we're learning so far about the 3ds.

There's already ps3 and x360 emulators that can run commercial games (although not many, and not well).

Hahahahaha. No. The only PS3 emulator that runs commercial games run at a astonishing speed of 3 frames per second. And, as far as I know, there is no 360 emulator available.

 

[RachelB]

Hahahahaha. No. The only PS3 emulator that runs commercial games run at a astonishing speed of 3 frames per second.

So? It still works.

And, as far as I know, there is no 360 emulator available.

As far as you know isn't very far then. Xenia can run at least one game.

The PS3 emulator has a lot of graphical, audio, control glitches, so even if it 'works', it isn't really working.


Also, from Xenia's github page;
Status

• Some code runs. [Insert any game name here] doesn't.
• Asserts! Crashes! Hangs! Blank screens!

Wonder what one game it can run then.

Frogger.

[RichardLaughter_]

Ah, years from now, we will be seeing hd 3ds graphics. Can't wait to see what kid icarus looks like without the jaggies!

 

[Stratovarius]

In the home brew development thread.
