Homebrew Question Is anyone working on a 3DS emulator?

[maxx488]

Title pretty much says it all.

 

[Uumas]

Not for switch, no.

 

[SecureBoot]

Probably impossible. We don't even have a fully working 3DS emulator on PC

Depends on what you mean by fully working.

Clearly you have never heard of Citra or used Google

He's taking about for Switch

Full compatibility or at least like 90% of the games being playable all the way through

Not gonna happen any time soon.

That's literally even worse

I'm not the one you have to explain that to

There's Lakka, but support is pretty bad.

Citra works on Lakka at about 15FPS. With an ARM64 JIT I expect it to run quite well.

But when can we expect arm64 jit in citra

As much as 3DS ports seem like a perfect deal (if we ever get them) why not just buy a 3DS? They're fairly cheap these days. Nintendo sells refurbished (non "New") 2DS consoles for 60. I snagged a OG 3DS from GameStop and a game for under 120 recently. I can only think of a handful of "New" 3DS only games and features. With Nintendo planning to support the platform well into and past 2019, now seems like a great time to buy a 3DS. I understand that money tends to be a issue for a lot of people but having at least one variant of the 3DS is worth it for your personal collection.

Maybe he wants to have the most emulators possible on one console, easier to carry, interesting from a technological point of view.
That's my case, as owner of a 3ds.

I can totally get that. At some point, having multiple devices and possibly neglecting some can be lame.
