@Vague Rant I was not using the save sorting option previously or now, and my saves loaded correctly when I was using the Sept 29 nightly, after the renaming had taken place.
I cannot get any build of Retroarch to work period. Stable, nightly, doesn't matter which core... They all fail loading a ROM and bring up the 3DS error dialogue forcing me to reboot. Happens on literally every core except PCSX. Oddly, this https://gbatemp.net/threads/snes9x-for-old-3ds.435568/ build of SNES9X for o3DS works amazingly well on my o3DS. Blarg works. But any build of NEStopia/SNES9X by Retroarch gives me exactly this when I load either an uncompressed or a compressed ROM.

Useless generic error forcing my 3DS to reboot:

Guess I'll go back to my VC injections. I really wanted Retroarch to replace all the home screen icons. Especially making the move to n3DS.

You must be doing something wrong then.
I used the 3dsx version on my New 3DS and Snes9x 2005 runs just fine. Ran a game of Super Mario Kart on it and others.
in case it's not clear, when my ROM is in a Zip file, I select 'Open as Archive', and select the ROM.
Only nestopia, fceumm locks up right now. Interesting development since I think these used to work before? I'll look into this.
Also, please be aware that homebrew 3DS development is not exactly a walk in the park, there are barely any decent debugging tools available, it can be a tough grind.

I understand this. I am aware how difficult it is for you who develop homebrew software and really do appreciate it. I was unaware of NEStopias issues. I was able to get QuickNES working well enough to get along, so I'll stick with that one for now. I should also note that all of my Retroarch cores are the CIA builds.
Even if I unzipped the ROM on my computer and then transferred it to my SD card and loaded it that way I experienced the crash described on many of the Retroarch NES/SNES cores. Also, selecting "System Information" in any core causes corrupted screens and forces you to hold the power button until it shuts down. Its no issue. I'll wait patiently until you guys get it fixed. I wasn't intending to be disrespectful, just pointing out my issues.
That version of snes9x takes speed hacks making it run good on the old 3ds but at the cost of accuracy. That build wasn't even made by retroarch. The goal of retroarch is accuracy so it won't run as well on old 3ds.
How can I modify:
I can't seem to find an option to modify any of those, can't find the settings option with the XBM menu. :/
EDIT: Just found out it's by tapping Left/Right on the D-Pad. xD
- Output resolution (Full screen instead of default 4:3 one)
- Default path for loading ROMs.

I understand that too. My issue is that none of the SNES Retroarch cores work on my console. They all crash as described. Its no issue. I'll keep using the ones I get to work and carry on until Retroarch matures and continue to test it until its ready.
I really need to just buy Fieldrunners so I can do my n3DS. But I wanted to setup my o3DS and back it up before I did so I can get it back to this state and ready as a backup unit.
Hahah yeah I found out just a few second before the replies.press right
Thanks!
EDIT:
One quick thing I want to mention, the text tends to overlap while using the XBM menu with some character heavy options with the column on the right.

Make a screenshot of this.
Sure, here you go, I took it with my phone since I don't know how to do it in-app:
I don't know if you can read it well, but it says "Estimated Monitor Framerate" and the "Framerate" part overlaps with "N/A"
A lot of other options do the same thing to. Maybe moving the first column a bit to the left (like 5-10 character-lenght space to the left) might do it.
Also, I want to report that GenPlus GX, PocketSNES and Nestopia seem to be crashing on me whenver I try to open any ROM.
Mednanfen VB, MAME 2003, fMSX seem to be working fine though (for the ones that I have).
Also, gpSP has the screen tearing on the top of the screen, I suggest using Super Mario Advance 4 to debug this issue since that one seems to be the one that always has it present consistently.
Edit:
One last thing, GenPlusGX, even though it doesn't open up any ROM, seems to generate the save file on the root of the SD card instead of reading them from retroarch/core/savefiles/

It's not. RetroArch has several cores, some more accurate than others. PocketSNES has A TON of speed hacks for example, it's far from accurate.
That specific version of SNES9X was built from the ground up for the 3DS. It's not just speed hacks - the key thing is that hardware acceleration features are implemented. That's why it's running so well. Thing is, hardware acceleration in Retroarch is difficult because it has to be done on a per-core basis, and the libretro devs won't dedicate so much time into improving a single core for a single platform, that'd be kind of a waste of time.
Still tearing on GenPlusGX for me. Running "Mega Turrican" with it. PicoDrive is also crashing when loading a ROM (Stops on "SET_GEOMERTY: 320x240").

I've tracked down what makes FCEUmm and Nestopia crash. It was a commit somebody pushed that broke 3DS without our knowing.
Anyway, I'm confident I will be able to come up with a solution tomorrow after talking about this some more with the other devs.

Yeah, I have a hunch this commit broke it -
https://github.com/libretro/picodrive/commit/e1360c668cd06a0625e180d7cc1baa31390e4f66
like the other issues I found with FCEUmm and nestopia, it's related to the SET_GEOMETRY callback.
Sorry but this is bullshit
If Retroarch had accuracy as its goal, it would have a lot less cores under its wing.
It's been said a lot of times, i'll say it again, that version of Snes9x it's the proof that o3DS can run SNES emulation, but with the N3DS the Libretro staff can't even bother.
Let me guess, the PC Engine core is still slow as fuck on o3DS, isn it? And the only Genesis core viable on o3DS is Picodrive, right?
ok. More or less finished icons and banners. Took about 8 hours for all of them. I'm going to post them here for criticism.
After I fix/adjust anything, I'll make a PR of them.
If you have other suggestions for MAME cabs, logos that I've missed, etc. just let me know. Also I like the cave story icon so I'm leaving it, lol.

This is not magic, we are trying to do the best we can (and 'we' in this case is literally two people, aliaspider and me). As for myself, I only recently received 3DSes, I can now finally start looking at what the state of things are. If we can backport any optimizations from that Snes9x fork, we will. It could help out a lot of other platforms besides 3DS. Hopefully they didn't cause too many regressions though like Snes9x Euphoria before on PSP.
All the same though, I think your attitude here is really counterproductive and it won't help us improve RetroArch and it won't help improve the feedback we get in this thread either. If you are dissatisfied with the state of things, if you are a developer and have some skills, you can either contribute, or you can just sit and wait. We have a lot of stuff on our plate.
I am not going to go through the same thing again as with RetroArch Wii on gbatemp years ago when certain people made any discussion here useless and the atmosphere turned so hostile that I felt compelled to leave. So I respectfully ask you that you at least don't barge in here like this anymore and adopt a more constructive attitude. If not and if this kind of negative attitude starts taking hold of this forum, I will again retreat to my own forum. If you don't care yourself, at best you can not ruin it for everybody else posting in this thread.
