I really want to play Kirby's Dreamland 3, but BlargSNES doesn't work with the SA1 chip that's needed by the game. Is there any way to play this on my N3DS? I have a DS flashcard if there's an NDS emulator that works.
Homebrew SNES emulator with SA1 chip compatibility?

Wow. A member who actually uses the temp, and often at that, creating a question thread, in the homebrew development section. That's almost as bad as the tutorial section!
Answering the question, what about vc injection?

Nice sarcastic tone that was very unnecessary. The post very well belongs here. Good job on being a self centered prick, though. Without fail..
Also, as far as I'm aware, not even VC will work properly with that. The hardware limits it
Homebrew development and emulators
Besides, there's nothing wrong with asking questions in this section. And no, VC injection doesn't work.

I see there's also a second version called CatSFC Plus. It says it has better sound quality, but would it have better performance or compatibility too?
It's glitchy if you have frameskip on though, so turn it off and endure the slow.

Catsfc does support SA1 emulation, fyi. https://github.com/libretro/CATSFC-libretro/blob/master/source/sa1.c
It's derived from snes9x (which also supports SA1.)
VC doesn't support any of the extension chips, sadly.

Well kirby dream land 3 is on WIi U VC right? So does that not mean is not possible to not have it on 3ds VC Since they are both SNES games?
Some special chip games are on vc, Contra 3 alien wars is on both WIi U and NEW 3ds and has mode 7 chip, So i guess if nintendo wanted to you know.....

I think only the CATSFC emulator can emulate the SA1 chip. At least I can't run Kirby's Dreamland 3 in any other emulator/VC.
Not wanting to derail this thread, I'm much more concerned about the hundreds of posts about Luma3DS and other CFW here, instead of posting in the Flashcards & Custom Firmware section.
But Mode 7 is a hardware feature of the SNES, it's not a special chip...Well kirby dream land 3 is on WIi U VC right? So does that not mean is not possible to not have it on 3ds VC Since they are both SNES games?

I see your point, still Kirby dream land 3 is on WII U and i believe it could appear on 3ds eshop sometime. I was wondering if Kirby return to dream land 3d would have been a thing, cause epic yarn in 3d doesn't sound as fun.

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
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:
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:
@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:
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:
@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:
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:
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

@
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:
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 -
