Hello!

Recently i got a n3ds xl, and im really happy with it, specially with the snes vc games (and because i can play the 3 mother games in a 3ds directly from the menu)

I downloaded a snes vc injector, akd i have a question, when it select chips that the game use, it can only select 2 chips, my question is, how accurate is the vc snes emulator?

At this point snes9x is way better than the vc, it even emulate star fox 2, but....its just curiosity, maybe is there a way to improve the vc emulator?

VC emulator is closed source, so no.

You can try this: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-oldsnes-snes-vc-for-old-3ds-users.430190/
It's too bad there isn't a version of that that uses "Snes9x for Old 3DS" as a base, instead of Snes9x 1.00, as that supports all special chips and is very fast (full speed with special chips on n3DS IIRC)
I don't know what Snes9x 1.00's compatibility is like, but you can try it anyway. It should be able to run some games where VC injects will struggle or not run the game at all. On the other hand VC injects might work better with other games.
BlargSNES has pretty bad compatibility AFAIK (but at least it's fast)

    You can buy it at any length @homedepot wire cutting area cheaper than buying preformed cable, but you have to put on your own ends/ connectors.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I still like DTV but the wire wasn't long enough to reach the window still pick up 40 channels

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea me too, esp for local news, sports, or channel surfing. I get like 60 channels but there's like 15 shopping networks, and bunch other bs, religion, Hispanic, etc. I went thru and blocked most those on tv channel settings.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is 1 Hispanic channel I kept, sometimes they have soap operas on it, w scandalous clothed hotties, I just beat mute it.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Ah yes the Juan channel order 15 pairs of feet
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I got this antenna but the damn thing has usb power right next to the coax plug and you can't actually extend it without usb extension the Pic makes the cable look longer than it actually is https://a.co/d/501IQf2
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Use a old phone/ USB charger block thing, plug into wall instead of tv usb. Use cheap extension cord if need.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    You still need usb extension because coax end cord is the same length
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh I thought you were gonna extend the coxial cable with another 10 footer
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I am but you need both to make it work
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I meant like this.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You don't have to use the tv usb, any USB 5v will power it. USB extention cables are not cheap either, so this would be cheaper way.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    The coax to the tv is at the same port as the power
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    All soldered into the pcb so you can't just unscrew it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Use a cable coupler to extend it from there.

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah but you have to have extension to usb also it's the same length basically
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    They're both on the same end
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yes that's the goal but it still may not fit the wall plug from the window
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    They're cheap anyway a 10ft usb cable is $5

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Your tv may also even have an option to turn off USB power when tv off, will save a little money on power.
  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    Maybe it's just because it's two in the morning, but watching a conversation about TV power source logistics using google images and a paint app is fucking hilarious
