Gpsp as cia, for most games, mgba for some......but GBA Rom injection runs NATIVELY (read 1:1, perfect), you should try that. (link at the bottom of the 1st post if you need pointers :) )
Yeah GBA injection is great but there is no way to copy savegames to my PC/smartphone to use with other emulators... :)

Compatibility is pretty good, just the speed might not be up to par, but via cia on New3DS, with sound unsynch, especially the french/pal version might just be fullspeed :) (50fps)
give it a shot and hit us back ;)
(don't forget to get the right bios, check the 1st post for more info)

yes it does support disc switching (Core Disc Options> Disc Index)
How this this guy get 50.+ fps for FF7?> did you check the OP, I wrote it there ;)
(set A/V synch to off and sound interpolation to the lowest possible (nearest?) can't find this setting anymore)
I know I'm running Parasite Eve at the same speed.
Just tried on 3DSX builds, could not get more than 20fps... you definitely need a 9.2< system and CIA/Gateway rom build to reach that speed.

Better DSP support might help increase speed in the near future.

But I guess if you friend want to play this RIGHT NOW on n3DS, he should use the UK version of the game, which runs at 50Hz locked.

@Slasher115 What was broken with Neo Geo ? (mine worked fine (did some testing with 3DSX/3DS/CIA with the 27 or 28-10 version I think :))

Added to the OP :
- info and link about new blargSnes (2.5HAX) (for use in place of catsfc for now for o3DS 3dsx users)
- some other stuff about IPS and arcade parent/clone system
Lol sorry i did that by mistake

Great thread Slasher, much better than teampleb's. You should add a couple of general troubleshooting tips to the main post though. Like to delete your retroarch CFG if things aren't working/if your controls break. Or to rollback to an older version if a newer one is broken.

Thanks for you're input, we appreciate it :) will edit OP.

Yes, but i wanted to know if there difference because the kernel, i dont know if 4.2 gateway have kernel access, thanks by the way!
Being on New 3DS, I really have no idea.. try pcsx as cia or 3ds gw rom with ff7 or parasite eve, unlock sound synch, if you reach 5X fps it works, if you're getting 20fps, you're in interpreter mode ;)

I asked this in the old Retroarch thread before it was closed down, but could it be possible to port the Game & Watch core?

There was an unofficial port a while back, but the 2.5 update broke it, and I could not get the game screen to display properly on my New 3DS. Most of the time it was cut off, making titles like Mario Bros. pretty much impossible to play since I couldn't see Mario's side of things.

My mistake! I think I was launching something else by mistake. The unofficial Game & Watch build does run for me, but I'm still running into an issue where some of the screen is cut off and it does render a couple of the games unplayable. An official port would greatly be appreciated since I'm not sure what the development status on the unofficial one is.

  • 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.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
