Homebrew (Discussion) Why are Emulators still really slow even at this point?

[hacksn5s4]

even though we can run rom hacks on userland we can't run full speed emulators it does not make any sence

It makes perfect sense, actually. ROM hacks are running native code, made exclusively for the 3DS. Emulators have to pretend to be an entire machine, including the processor, graphics, sound, input, etc. Emulation has a lot more overhead than simply running a 3DS game on a 3DS.

When I use that version of blargses the top screen flashes grey and white. I am using themehax.

young padawan, give it like a year or something the homebrew will be pretty sick by then

Emulation takes a while to perfect, especially on weaker hardware. Homebrew for the 3DS didn't really take off until this past year or so. So just give it time (and effort if you're willing to test or develop).

cause it takes time....


just look at Nintendo 64 emu's... even on PC we still dont have any great one.

Project64 is ALMOST flawless!

Project 64 has a lot of issues tbh. Especially graphical glitches. For example when I played smash 64 on a fresh download of project 64 it was basically impossible to see any items.

No, only n3DS. Sorry.

what if I have a DS flashcart is there still no way to play GBA games on old3ds with no kernel hack at full speed

No, GBA emulation is only full speed on n3DS without a kernel hack. (A dstwo may work though.)
