seriously?

 

[gk090328]

seriously?

its true
but with no audio
and cut scenes drop to 30 fps

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

its a ps1 emulator btw
so you could play other ps1 games but with no audio so that the fps is high

 

[NomadoP]

Neat. Thanks for sharing

 

[gk090328]

pleas ask if you want a tut

Wait... THIS IS FOR REAL!?

This is really surprising, I never thought I would see any PS1 game playable on the Old 3DS,How did you manage to do that?, it's great to see that there are still people who do things for the Old 3DS instead of focusing all the attention on the New 3DS.

Could other games like Crash 2 or MegaMan X5 be playable on the Old 3DS too?

runs a bit slow if you ask me. Still, sorta playable i guess. But in megaman speed and perfect timing with the buttons is crucial i dunno if i'd play it like that.
Can you try Digimon World? it uses prerendered backgrounds so maybe O3DS can handle it?

holy crap it seems to work flawlessly, imma download it ASAP.
so you said you use the 3dsx version of the emulator right? any special procedure with the rom? like convert to some of these compressed formats that PSP also uses, or just the bin and the cue?

there's this software called CHDMAN that comes with MAME and apparently does everything for you. I just got a 193mb CHD out of a 372mb bin-cue game (for this game, digimon world 1). I'mma try with this. Do the tutorial nonetheless, it'll help people

 

[gk090328]

TUTORIAL:
1)Download the latest stable (or nightly) of Retroarch the 3dsx (the Hombrew Launcher one) of it

2)Grab your games in .bin and .cue

3)Use CHDMAN to convert it to CHD (https://mega.nz/file/Nt8mmagJ#rmo7oE5qCakjJsLWdzZqCCVhXTD1__7Ubwo6nTkD5CM)

4)Put your games in the CHDMAN folder, click CUE to CHD.bat

5)When finished put the .chd (in the CHDMAN folder) files to 3ds sd card, open Retroarch and go to settings then modify these settings:



DRIVERS->Audio=Null
DRIVERS->Audio Resampler=Null

Video->Bilinear Filtering=OFF
Video->Synchronization-> ALL OFF

Audio->ALL OFF OR NULL


6)Then load the .chd game with PCSX core and then touch the bottom half of the screen

7)Press B until you find quick menu and then press it then options then copy these settings

8)While in there turn off: Sound reverb
Sound interpolation

Use frameskip when the game is slow

There WILL be NO AUDIO

Is it impossible to have audio? even if it runs super slow? i tried leaving the audio options on but i still get no audio

Im not sure but it runs faster 10 fps faster

 

[placebo_yue]

Im nit sure but it runs faster 10 fps faster

i tried everything and at best i got a few crackling sounds during the cutscenes. Whatever i don't need audio.
thanks bro i didn't think i could play digimon world 1 on my o3ds. If only i could get a new battery for my PSP... too bad those don't exist anymore

Any reason why you're using the latest 'stable' build? Having issues with the latest nightly builds?

The 'stable' builds don't really take the 3ds port in account. So theres no real advantage in using them.

There have been quite a few improvements since the latest stable, and i can only recommend using the latest nightly builds.
