Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but, if you're using Picodrive, you can play Sega CD games using that. Just download the BIOS file for the region you want (I can't link it here for obvious reasons), and extract to /retroarch/cores/system on your SD Card. Them put any Sega CD game onto your SD Card, and load it the same way you would load a normal Genesis game.

Hey, so in another thread I saw someone said they have game gear, and Sega CD games on their 3ds, lol how

I have only the emulators that came with the starter pack plus a couple I added in. Systems I got are nes,snes, Atari lynx (system sucked will probly delete that one), GBA, GBC, and Genesis. I don't have retro arch yet, my phone died and am saving for a new one so I can put stuff on my system yet and wanna get a bigger SD card anyways
Mini VMac for 3ds and that's all I can think of right now.

Mini Vmac is an old Mac OS 7 or 8 emulator, i've used it on the PC and its actually kind of fun, not so much "practical" as say an SNES emulator, but still fun

The emulators I like are cemu and retroarch.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

The con of retroarch is that you have to wait 3 hours for its installation.

Obviously, CEMU isn't on the 3DS, but Retroarch is. You can either download Retroarch standalone or download each of the individual cores separately as a title. See here: https://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/1.6.7/nintendo/3ds/RetroArch_cia.7z

There's also a series of VC Forwarders that utilize a modified version of Retroarch. I recommend using these, mainly due to ease of use and for the fact that putting the system in sleep mode won't screw up the sound, which is an issue in the normal Retroarch builds.

I use Retroarch for pretty much all my emulation needs. I don't use GBA with retroarch though, I use GBA injection for that.

Does anyone know of any sort of emulator for the 3DS which allows for local multiplayer? I think I can remember hearing about one awhile ago but I don't know if my brain is playing tricks on me or did such a thing really exist..?

There was a fork of VirtuaNES that enabled local multiplayer.

Here's the link to the thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-virtuanes-2p-mod-play-nes-2-player-on-your-3ds.466546/

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep

    because i didn't say i was asleep

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
