So it's been a while, any words on a 3DS Emulator?

[Kyler45]

I actually own a 3DS however I'd prefer to play my games on my PC screen as opposed to the smaller 3DS' Screen, it's been quite a while, do we have one yet?

[Robert]

No. Can't you at least wait until they aren't being sold anymore?

[MarioGeek]

Lol these posts make me laugh. People have no idea how emulation works, they just expect things to be served to them on a silver platter.

[ulaoulao]

MarioGeek, really that is how it works. you just wait long enough and they grow on trees, you didnt know that? OUCH! wait, an xbox emulator just fell from my Oak!

Really though, this asking for emulators stuff is so pathetic. If there was a 3ds emulator you would not be able to avoid hearing about it. and a playable one? We would already have that on the emulator download section, so dont ask...

[testmachine]

No. Can't you at least wait until they aren't being sold anymore?

Nintendo DS is still being sold,but it already has 6 working emulators.But we won't see a 3DS emulator anytime soon.

[Raddaya]

I disagree. The new pokemon games are coming out on the 3DS. This may help help work on it due to massive increased demand.

Of course, that isn't till Fall, so we have until then. If I could buy the 3DS itself I would; but all electronics are so ridiculously overpriced where I live. I hope it will come out reasonably soon and I can continue playing Pokemon games which I have done since No$GBA came out.

[ulaoulao]

This may help help work on it due to massive increased demand. Do you seriously think people write emulators in response to demand?

[testmachine]

Do you seriously think people write emulators in response to demand?

He obviously thinks so.But no,people code emulators only if they are good in coding.And they release them to public,for free because they are good people.

[Raddaya]

Let's face it. With this kind of huge demand, anyone who does an emulator will have huge traffic. Which means that they will get atleast some revenue from advertising. It is unlikely but possible this will one factor.

Of course it will not be in 3D though...sigh. That would be some kind of an emulator, ha ha!

[NicknameMy]

Hmm, I actually found that? Is something true about this?

I just wanna play 3D Ocarina of Time, I am pretty sure that is like, the only game anyone wants to play. XD

The same with me!

[alexxi]

You could always get the 3ds xl, and don't expect an emulator anytime soon since the 3ds and ds are two different systems(the 3ds name makes it sound like an add-on, which is not).

[themaster401]

Pokemon X and Y have been announced

YAY

I don't have a 3DS

aww...

Pokemon X and Y release in my birthmonth

YAY

There is a small chance of me getting a 3DS

Crud...

3DS emulator? OpenGL and java should handle it, but no 3D :)

[ulaoulao]

With this kind of huge demand, anyone who does an emulator will have huge traffic. Which means that they will get atleast some revenue from advertising Right that is exactly why emulators are created to gain revenue.

Lets count the emulators that actually survived trying to profit form this...

[vulkryst]

There was this one 3DS "emulator" on the hackingnation.org site and while I've realized no 3DS emulator actually works and is more than likely fake, I tried this just for the hell of it. I was able to download the so-called emulator and its bios file as well, which is what piqued my interest. Apparently, it needs plugins to work as well, which it seems no one else has been able to get. So... I'm not completely sure if it's a fake or not. However, in the folder it comes in, there is a sub-folder labeled "Addons" and contains multiple plugins used for PS2 emulation... which is odd.

I was on that website right now.And yes,it seems believeable to be a legit emu.But it's not.Those comments below the downloads are fake.The author of the website just commented and put different names there.I won't even dare to download it.In fact i blocked the website,and any other that has business with fake emulators.

[vulkryst]

This was my initial feeling. Then I saw the videos that went with their "ps3" and "360" emulators with the exact same guy being like... "Yo this shit works!" Bleah... oh well. Well hopefully people who search that emulator on the google will find this post and read it and not bother with it. I couldn't find anything about the legitimacy of it.

[ashwinte]

What about this site?

http://3dsemulator.org/

[Squall Leonhart]

What about this site?

http://3dsemulator.org/

Another fake by the fake Cryptox.

This is the same guy that put up Xbox360Emulator and Playstation2Emulator and that TemplerunPC site.

The only Trusted Cryptox belongs to the XDA community, The Cryptox claiming to be releasing emulators is a FAKE and is harvesting data via those surveys on the site.

The files obtained when you do the survey are actually shaders from GTA4.

[Mupen64 Man]

Huh, thats a little tidbit I never knew. Thanks for the info!

[great_haseo]

actually it isn't fake 100% but the proceding to obtain it. its hard like a hell. i try to download the bios and complete the survey they give. and i download it!!! unfortunetly i failed to download it because you can't download it with booster like IDM. so if anyone can complete the survey please... upload it. and then post it in here:)

NO!Any download that leads to a survey is fake (And usually a Backdoor Trojan,Keylogger or Malware.)!

[MattCiessan]

No, that emulator and the other ones right now are fake. I was able to get the BIOS file through some work-arounds, and after that it looked like it would work. Then when I started it up there was no audio, graphics, or controller plugins! So I had to find the .dlls for those (all the while avoiding those surveys) which took a while. Finally put all the things in place, and nothing works.

Don't waste the time/effort like I did.. haha.

[Ignis_Umbra]

there are some, but i cant show links.

desmume; is one
no$3ds: second

buggy but work on some roms, if not most

[IronicTitanium]

Something that most people don't seem to mention is that a good way to check if a website is real or fake: webutation.com

Enter in the URL for the website and it tells you what people comment about it, etc.

So if you're looking to order something online but the website seems fishy, webutation. If you're unsure about an emulator for a recent platform that seems really legit, webutation. Admittedly, sometimes the website might be under-known so Webutation just says it's fine, so still it's good to be careful.

And ANYTHING with a survey is fake.

Also, people that say there won't be a 3DS or Wii U emulator for a long time, that's not COMPLETELY true. The Wii U is based off of the same engine that the Wii and GameCube are based off of, which is why the Wii had emulator support relatively quickly. And the 3DS is also based off of the engine that the DS was based off of, so it shouldn't take TOO long, I heard they're already dumping some ROMs for it, but no working emulators yet.

Also, Dolphin Pro is going to support Wii U as well, they are already working on that apparently. And, don't EVER expect to see a 360 or PS3 emulator, let alone the new PS4/One. Most people with average PC's wouldn't be able to run the games on them, and Microsoft/Sony consoles aren't as emulator-friendly as Nintendo platforms. Besides, a lot of console games are available for PC too, ever heard of Steam? A lot of 360/PS3 games are cross-platform with PC support on some too, I mean, if you want to emulate a 360 or PS3 to play a game like Assassin's Creed 3, there's no reason to because you can buy it on Steam for about the same price, and if you just want to play it free, there's a such thing as Pirate Bay.

And thus ends my modern console emulation rant. xD

[Alkanzel]

This information isn't accurate. The only reason emulation hasn't sprung up for PS3/360 is the difficulty inherent in running the IBM wafer-core and Power PC architecture in a virtual process on x86 processors. The PS4/Xbox One both use x86 processors, i.e. utilize hardware that's found on your desktop PC, meaning they'll be leaps and bounds easier to emulate than the previous gen's hardware. Nintendo hardware isn't "emulator friendly" because it's Nintendo, it's "friendly" because it's tech using traditional hardware architecture.

Still though.. I'm hoping that a 3DS emulator will come out soon. There are lots of us who have been following nintendo for years and we don't always have the money to buy a new device each time. i wish they could make their games more interchangeable and compatible, or at least make different playable versions. I myself dont really care much about the 3D part, i just really want to play Pokemon X or Y. So much.
A lot.

[reke123]

its ok if i cant play pokemon x and y , i can watch walkthroughs

[Zero Masters]

EDIT: My mind left the "3" out so I responded in relation to a "DS".

A 3DS one I will assume is not far off, but it wont be out soon.

[shadowfox87]

I have the Pokemon X and Y roms. Just need a working 3ds emulator! I've played Blue and Gold. I can't wait to try the new one. Completely different battle system, base stats have changed. Strategy is now different.

[Kingdom Key Kabutops]

What? Where could have you possibly found them? Did you have to take a survey?

[shadowfox87]

What? Where could have you possibly found them? Did you have to take a survey?

Nah man, there were a lot of fake sites with surveys for sure. I went to all of them haha. I eventually found it by looking for torrents. The actual .3ds file is 1.7 GB. That's how you know it's legit. Look for it on torrents and you'll find it. NEVER download if it asks you for password or survey, that is bs. Now help me find a 3ds emulator!

[Kingdom Key Kabutops]

Ah, makes sense. There are torrents of everything. Sorry, man, I've been looking everywhere for a 3DS emu, none to be found yet. Believe me, I REALLY need that emu, especially with new X/Y stuff, like the shiny rate being lowered to 1/1000 :/

[ulaoulao]

You got it right but not quite.

the Wii was based off of the same hardware as the GC, the only thing the wii really had over GC was then wand. The Wii-U is a quite different animal. I do agree with you a wii-U may show up. The dolphin team flat out says NO you will not see Wii-U emulation from us. Let just see ;)

Again the 3DS is not as simple as the ds, that 3d chip is causing troubles. A tend to think the 3DS would be an easy target and I'm shocked that we have not seen an emulator by now.

Emulation has nothing to do with engines... Its all about the chips and hardware.

3ds
GPU Digital Media Professionals PICA200 GPU
CPU Dual-Core ARM11 MPCore

ds
GPU - I believe it uses the CPU
CPU One 67.028 MHz ARM946E-S[2] and one 33.514 MHz ARM7TDMI

So as you can see nothing is similar in the way of emulation. These are chips are way different, read the datasheet on them.

[zachfoss]

The 3ds emulators you see on youtube is fake. There's no legit 3ds emulators out there. It's a scam :p

[shadowfox87]

Ah, makes sense. There are torrents of everything. Sorry, man, I've been looking everywhere for a 3DS emu, none to be found yet. Believe me, I REALLY need that emu, especially with new X/Y stuff, like the shiny rate being lowered to 1/1000 :/

I don't care about shiny. All that matters is IV and EV. Shiny is for aesthetic appeal, which is why a lot of girls play pokemon. If an emulator doesn't come out by december, I'll probably buy the game+3ds on boxing day. I haven't bought a pokemon game since Gold. Though might as well. It's just too bad there's no way to transfer pokemon from Gold-->X/Y.

[WASasquatch]

He obviously thinks so.But no,people code emulators only if they are good in coding.And they release them to public,for free because they are good people.

Are you serious? Almost every Emulator was written because a "coder" wanted to play their favorite games on their PC. Same for the intent of this persons post. Zsnes was built around Link to the Past and Megaman. Xbox emulator was being built for the sole purpose of Halo. N64 Emulator was originally built for Ocarina of Time and Smash Brothers with all Projectn64 dev released focusing on Ocarina and Smash Brothers support. the first Saturn Emulator focused on Sonic playable as did Gensis after Master system.

You are clueless. Every Emulator made was because someone wanted to play something on their computer. This isn't about the little steam engine that could.

[ulaoulao]

Are you serious? Almost every Emulator was written because a "coder" wanted to play their favorite games on their PC You sir are dead wrong. No one, let me repeat that... NO ONE starts an emulator for the purpose of emulating a game. The only reason anyone starts an emulators is to see what an be done. Emulating is a hobby, its not to be confused or compared to playing games. I like to play games, its my hobby, I also happen to code firmware. That trait just so happens to be similar to what emulating a chip involves. However I have no intentions of making an emulator to play a game? Or for that matter an emulator period.

Let me put this one more way. The amount of time ( time == money ) it takes to make an emulator is much greater then the cost of buying the system. So your logic is faulty.

[sirus1999]

where i can get 3ds emulator?which group make 3ds emulator?
3ds haked .whay not realese emulator ?

[ulaoulao]

Hacking a console does not mean creating a emulator. To this day ( and some to come ) there are no 3ds emulators.

[irrelevant_pelican]

I didn't think there would be so soon, too difficult at this point. But perhaps down the road.

[dan125]

What about this 3ds emulator it looks real download it at www.tgee3ds.com

:facepalm:

[Mupen64 Man]

lol, indeed. XD

[cloakerx]

I know all 3DS emulator site are fake so far, but has anyone tried creating a 2DS emulator first? Isn't the main difference between the two the intense 3D graphics (As in how an emulator would be, not the actual handheld shape), so wouldn't a 2DS emulator serve the same purpose until a legit full 3DS emulator is completed?

[ulaoulao]

By 2ds do you mean the 2d games or nds?

[Kingdom Key Kabutops]

What about this 3ds emulator it looks real download it at www.tgee3ds.com

Nope, it's fake. Another one of those stupid survey things -_-

[cloakerx]

By 2ds do you mean the 2d games or nds?

www.nintendo.com/3ds/2ds

It basically has the same functions as a 3DS, except no 3D viewing.

[ulaoulao]

Yes its possible the 2d functionally will be out first. Though emulation is not more difficult if the requirements are higher. Emulation is about emulating the chips. So in the case of 3ds/2ds being the chips are new and not known it will take a bit to get the ball rolling.

i play now waith a little slow 3ds emulator works waith some roms,but i search a better and faster one,can you help me please?

[ulaoulao]

kickboxer1988, are you saying you found a 3ds emulator? If so, care to share with the rest of us.

[apple9268]

After a lot of fakes emulators downloading, finally i found a working one. You can Download it from [***************** I hope you enjoy it. there is a free survey, but who care about it, emulator is working, it is worth you survey filling time.

[ulaoulao]

After a lot of fakes emulators downloading, finally i found a working one. You can Download it from

Last and final warning, do it again and your no longer welcome here. Its not fair to the kind people of this board, they do not deserve to have their computer compromised. If you find an emulator post it in the correct section, this one is fake.

[HM_GamerMX]

I don't own a 3ds nor any other consoles. I play DS games on emulators and they work just fine. The only thing that might be a difference of a ds to a 3ds that might be a nuisance to the creation of 3ds emulators is the 3d graphics. I played mmorpg that are "3d" but i know that wont be possible. I think the 3ds screen has something to do with it. So maybe if you connect a 3ds to a monitor it wont have 3d effects. If that's the case then it may not be that hard to create an emulator. I'm actually saving up money for a 3ds but i prefer the emulators on android and pc, because they are much cheaper and they have better features like fast forward and cheats which are available with a use of a paid 3rd party device on 3ds.

[DarlingPhanpy]

Why so suryus (~ '3')~
Either you're a critique (I won't deny being one sometimes- like naow :3) or you, yourself, were looking for a 3ds emulator ( which I was also doing right naow <3) so staup dissing (such slang T^T) what others have ask (some one's gotta ask it sometime, y'know). Some people may expect things handed to them easily sure, but don't harpie on them (like I'm doing to you- ily). Ciao for now, lovelies. (Pardon the misspellingss <-- they're there for artistic effect.) (I love defending people- and critisizing....but call me PhanpyPagentJustice)

I have JXD S7800B game console, it have a HD 7.0 inches screen, and it working for 16 emulators such as PSP,NDS,GBA,GBC,GB,WSC PS1, N64, SFC,FC,MD and so on.

[murderous egg]

I think people need to think before saying stuff about the emulation. It may have already been said somewhere here, but the problem with the emulator isnt the 3d part. It is just that the software is too heavily defended by codes that it will take some time to uncofe it. I am not a specialist either, but this is what ive learned from some googling.
