Homebrew We need a best of homebrew thread

[Tutimane]

With the 3DS coming to a near end we should have a list of suggested or voted for Homebrew programs, like an essential list so that other people that come later can find it.

For example I would say the 3ds shutdown button and wifi toggle button should be on an essential list for Homebrew.

I know there's some competing emulators or builds but we could always list them all and what the pros and cons are.

I'm not up to date on 3ds homebrew but I do believe there's some underrated homebrew apps and some must have that a lot of people don't know about.

If someone makes a new post on this forum feel free to delete my suggestion post. Thanks!

It's not a bad idea actually, and we could post here our suggestions to be added to the real thread.
But we would need more support, so we should wait if more people is interested.

Retroarch:
Pros:
Everything in 1 app
Cons:
I've literally never run it without it immediately crashing the entire system.

Bubble2k16's emus:
Pros:
SNES on o3DS, TG16, and Picodrive can't be done normally
Everything in 1 app
Cons:
Some people prefer individual icons on the homescreen for different games

Injects:
Pros:
Full speed GBA
1 app per home menu icon (but some people don't like that)
Good compatibility with almost all games on supported platforms
Cons:
Some people prefer everything in 1 app, also 300 title limit

mGBA:
Pros:
Savestates
Everything in 1 app (but some people don't like that)
Speedup button (I think, never used mGBA myself)
I hear it plays GB/GBC stuff well
Cons:
Usually doesn't run at full speed, so speedup button is pointless
Needs GBA bios

You can do that from Rosalina menu so there is no need for this apps.

I made a list of 3DS/PC/OSX homebrew apps for russian group in VK https://vk.com/@3ds_cfw-spisok-homebrew-prilozhenii
It`s in russian but you can use it as a base for your list.

Users tend to make Essentials threads. Like this. If one user here would like to keep tally of votes and make a nice looking thread, I can sticky it for people to vote on.
