[Arcanuskun]

How do i run Castlevania SotN with a .bin file.
this is what came with the downloaded rom castlevania_-_symphony_of_the_night.bin

you can't as of now. this emulator can only play homebrews.

oh maaaan. Okay then. You know any good ones?

Edit: hehe i am the 420th person to reply blaze it

the retroarch one. you can try it if you have kernel access

I am very unlucky today arn't I?

v0.9-alpha now available. This adds vblank event support and big-endian mode (untested). More homebrew should be able to boot using this release.

I'm praying to god my JPN 3ds comes with <9.2 so i can use retroarch

Seriously? What does that have to do with this thread? Go put it in the retroarch thread not here

Then use Retroarch if your system comes with <9.2 and leave this thread alone. Despite how slow it seems, this emulator is making amazing progress. You can't just pull an emulator built purely from scratch out of your ass. RetroArch was ported, all of the real hard work put into it was already done in the first place, it was just modified to work on the 3DS. I've followed his project on GitHub, even since a month before this thread was even made. NOBODY has committed to the project, meaning he's the only that's worked on it, and how far he's gotten in almost 2 month's work, he's done an amazing job. If I had the programming ability, I would have gladly committed to get this working sooner. Especially since this new release can already run PSOne homebrew. That right there is a HUGE step! If the Dynamic Recompiler theory is true, despite RetroArch already exists, this emulator will possibly have better compatibility and performance overtime since it's fine tuned specifically for this system.

I want to use this emulator. Its built from the ground up. I don't understand why I am getting so much hate for one comment...

Most likely because you said nothing about this one and simply stated that you wanted to use retroarch which has nothing to do with this thread at all.

i was having a conversation about what I could do with with and a guy said retroarch. Then I said I hope my N3DS comes with less then <9.2 not off topic at all. Do you people even read? I wan't it to come on that firmware so i can use this.

On-topic: I believe that if my SysNand is 4.5 or lower, I have Kernel Access, even if I use EmuNand with a higher version? For when the REALLY good stuff starts getting going, right?

 

[Vague Rant]

@StarGazerTom How is that on-topic? I'm not clear on what that has to do with CTRX.

Wrong thread man!

 

[nyandog]

cool i guess il try it but is it better than Epsxe???

Well if Kernel Access is available, it'd make the emulator run better correct? Which means I'm asking if I'm in the optimal position for if/when the emulator actually gains K.A.

looking forward to being able to play isos with this baby! keep it up dude!

Ahhhh, I see what you mean. CTRX currently doesn't use anything that's available only to kernel-exploited systems, though, and while it's certainly possible that it might in the future, it's not by any means certain that a kernel exploit will ever make CTRX better. The topic post talks about (hypothetically) using gspwn to implement a dynarec on any firmware version/without the availability of a kernel exploit, so if machinamentum goes that route the performance should be the same all around.

I'm pretty sure the answer to your question is yes, though, you should still have kernel access in recent version emuNAND.

In a sense, we probably won't need a kexploit for this, ever. There's a theory going on the a "dynamic recompiler" could in fact be written in userland. And I meant to put that in quotes. It's in the OP.

This is amazing and everything but I gotta ask how you could make this playable. I mean I can't even imagine the New 3DS emulating this perfectly. We can barely do GBA...

Probably not "perfectly" but the New3DS can emulate PSX very well!
I know this isn't the retroarch-thread but I want to show you what I've found on youtube:
