NEW! CATSFC SNES Emulator video on Ironhax/*hax 2.5 build, firmware 10.1U



Best core compatibility for your system:

As you know the specs on the different systems (old 3ds, 2ds and new 3ds) are quite different, so this results in some cores running better than others. Below is a list of which cores are best suited for your system to help you obtain the best gaming experience possible.

​

Old 3DS: *If your running on firmware 9.2 or below you want to use the .cia versions of the following due to kernel hax, otherwise use .3dsx

• Fceumm (NES emulator)
• Gambatte (GB/GBC emulator)
• Quicknes (NES emulator)
• snes9x (SNES emulator)
• pcsx (PS1 emulator, .cia is needed for this one)
• fb alpha cps1 (Capcom Playsystem 1 emulator)
• fb alpha cps2 (Capcom Playsystem 2 emulator)
• fb_alpha_neo_libretro (NeoGeo emulator)
  
• gpsp (GBA emulator)
• mgba (GBA emulator)
• mednafen pce (TurboGrafx16 PC emulator)
  
• Genesis plus px (Sega Genesis emulator)
  
• nxengine (Cave Story)
  
• mednafen wswan (Wonderswan emulator)
• mednafen vb (Virtual Boy, .cia is needed for this one)
• fmsx (FMSX PC emulator)
  
• 2048 (2048 numbers game)

​

New 3DS: *If your running on firmware 9.2 or below you want to use the .cia versions of the following due to kernel hax, otherwise use .3dsx and you should be fine on N3DS besides pcsx (hopefully for now). Also most of the emus above work aswell.

• Nestopia (NES emulator)
• Catsfc (SNES emulator)
• Catsfc Plus (SNES emulator, differences below)
• fb alpha cps1 (Capcom Playsystem 1 emulator)
• fb alpha cps2 (Capcom Playsystem 2 emulator)
  
• fb_alpha_neo_libretro (NeoGeo emulator)
  
• gpsp (GBA emulator)
  
• mgba (GBA emulator)
  
• pcsx (PS1 emulator, .cia is needed for this one)
  
• mednafen pce (TurboGrafx16 PC emulator)
  
• Genesis plus px (Sega Genesis emulator)
• nxengine (Cave Story)
• mednafen wswan (Wonderswan emulator)
  
• mednafen vb (Virtual Boy, .cia is needed for this one)
  
• fmsx (FMSX PC emulator)

FAQ:

• 1Q. What's the difference between CatSFC and CatSFC Plus?
• 1A. Plus has better sound, but lower performance as a result.
• 2Q. Is <insert core name here> as good as it will ever be?
• 2A. RetroArch on the 3DS is still a young project, so probably not, no. Just keep an eye on progress.
• 3Q. What cores have dynamic recompilers (on 9.2 or below)?
• 3A. PCSX-ReARMed, picodrive (for 32x and svp only), and gpSP.
• 4Q. What is RetroArch?
• 4A. RetroArch is a multi-system platform that uses emulator "cores".
• 5Q. Does RetroArch have audio?
• 5A. Yes, every core has audio.
• 6Q. I prefer to have all of my games display in their native resolution (1:1 resolution/graphics). How can I do this?
• 6A. Go to Configuration -> Video -> Integer Scale and turn it on, and then go up to Aspect Ratio Index and change it to the setting that has "(1:1 PAR)" in it. This will give you the correct screen size, and the correct aspect ratio.
• 7Q. <insert issue name here> isn't working!
• 7A. Try to delete the two .cfg files in your RetroArch directory and try again. If the problem persists, please report it here.
• 8Q. Who's making the 3DS version?
• 8A. User @aliaspider is!
• 9Q. Where does my BIOS go?
• 9A. SD://retroarch/cores/system/
