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.

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).

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.

    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction

    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
