Can you name some? I am currently using an old version of rxtools and am not adverse to trying something new/updating.
Luma3DS, but for acekard you would have to update the bootrom, and for other, older R4 cards you need to install TWL Slot-1 Launcher, or Stage2 Launcher depending on how old the card is.

Most phones to play DS games fullspeed with sound are not less than a DS, also no actual buttons... no thanks.

afaik when you run a ds game on the 3ds it simply clears any sort of 3ds code from the ram & cpu (besides the home button code), and it uses whatever resources are available (i wager about 96% available) to run the DS game
so, when a DS game is running, there aren't enough resources available to run the home menu in the background, any streetpass/spotpass programs, any online capabilities (besides the DS ones, but those are deprecated), and all that stuff
but the 3ds system reboots into "DS backwards compatability" mode, so any hacks you have running (e.g. gateway mode) get disabled
unless we can find a way to make the system not reboot when going into ds-mode (afaik a step which can not get removed), we will not get DS games through the home menu

That is not entirely true. First of all download play demos can be converted to cia and work just fine, the main (only?) problem with retail game roms is the cart access issue. To get regular DS roms working would require making a DS/DSi mode homebrew that patches the rom so that it uses the SD card (dldi?) rather than slot1. Something similar has been done before, remember Max Overload? Though of course reverse engineering Max Overload won't be easy.

eh if i have no flash card and ds emulation on 3ds is crap i have to use another device to emulate ds games
if you have something capable of running DeSmuME X432R, at least a laptop from the past 4 years you have the perfect thing for emulating NDS

We're not talking about your crappy PC or your smartphone, you don't seem to understand how threads or even forums work. PLEASE STOP SHITPOSTING. If you have nothing decent to say to a thread, don't say it.
