does this work for old 3ds/2ds ?

Yes, but performance is very bad.

 

[B451CW11M0DD3R]

any other emulator that works ok with old 3ds?

any other emulator that works ok with old 3ds?

Yes. Retroarch's PicoDrive (Sega Genesis/MegaDrive emulator) core, to name one.

or does that work with ds games?

No. This is the only DS emulator for 3DS, and it's not being worked on.
There's native DS ROM loading, though. You can use TWLoader to run some ROMs via nds-bootstrap (included in it's 7z file).

The main Pokemon games don't work yet.

I just found it.

This one doesn't require the game to be named game.nds and you can put the recommended jit block size in by opening notepad, typing in the recommended number and then saving it as "(exact name of rom here).nds.conf", then placing that in the same folder as the rom. You can also experiment with other untested roms in this fashion to see what works best, starting at 50 and then going down by increments of 5 (45, 40, 35...) until you can find the best JIT block size.

If I'm not mistaken it may also require that the roms are put in an "nds" folder in the root of your SD card, but I'm unsure of that. If it can't find them then try placing the roms there.

So I've tried this, but it just goes to a black screen and I have to power off my 3ds. (Soft-lock) any fix or am I missing something? (Yes I'm using a nn3ds, and I'm using the .3dsx version as I don't have a cia loader yet)

What is your 3DS firmware?

 

[Magicrafter13]

What is your 3DS firmware?

current

 

[RocketRobz]

current

The emulator doesn't work with that firmware.

 

[Magicrafter13]

The emulator doesn't work with that firmware.

Do you know why?

 

[RocketRobz]

Do you know why?

It requires an exploit which was patched in the current firmware version.

Is this true for the .cia version as well?

 

[proflayton123]

Or alternatively use a ds slot1 flashcard

If you have the cia version, that means you have a CFW. Don't CFW's typically put the exploits back in or at the very least make it so the exploit isn't needed to run?

Are you sure you need CFW to run cia, what about FBI? Isn't that a cia "runner"?

No. CIAs can only be installed, then ran from the HOME Menu or FBI.
