Hello there! Can someone give me a good PS1 emulator for 3DS ? Thanks!
Hello , I know what is a NEW 3DS console )) Thanks for info!Hello again, sir (:
The only Playstation emulator for 3DS as of right now is Retroarch's PCSX Reloaded. The link to the thread can be found here:

However, barely any games run perfectly on it, and you need a New Nintendo 3DS to run it. Note that I am not saying that you need to go to the store and buy a brand-new 3DS, but you need a model that actually says 'New' on it. I don't know how complicated it is to install, but could probably take a look at something if you run into a problem (:
I already own a hacked PSP but If I am going to travel anywhere I want to take only 1 console not 2 and that s why I asked for an emulator Thanks !There's only the previously mentioned PCSX ReArmed (not Reloaded, that's totally different), but it can run only the Final Fantasy games at playable speeds (not good speeds, just playable.) In addition, that horrible performance level is only seen on a new 3DS, old 3DS models are much worse. Besides, Retroarch for 3DS (which is required to play PCSX) is very unstable with overall poor performance in general. There are no other PS1 emulators for the 3DS because the console just isn't powerful enough.
If you want portable PS1 games, just get a hacked PSP. The PSP's hardware was built with PS1 compatibility in mind so many PS1 games run great on it. Afaik there's only 1 game that doesn't work on it (some digimon game, I forget what it's called).
Thank you for info!I believe a certain version of Retroarch is what you seek, however it has poor compatibility and not a good performance even on the New models, I'd love to be proven wrong tho.
There are a handful of games that don't work and a few more with small issues. When I converted my library I had like 4 games that black screened on boot, others with graphical issues, and others that just had the same issues they have on a PS2 or PS3. Like Most of the DDR titles won't boot, WWF In Your House was a mess, and Mortal Kombat Trilogy crashes at the "buy in" screen (where you press start to continue like old fighters did) and after beating the game which it does on PS2 and PS3. But still, it's like 99% compatible.There's only the previously mentioned PCSX ReArmed (not Reloaded, that's totally different), but it can run only the Final Fantasy games at playable speeds (not good speeds, just playable.)

The "certain version of retroarch" is PCSX reArmed, and as we mentioned earlier it can't run at least 90% of the library at even playable speeds (again, not full or even good speeds, just playable.)Thank you for info!

well, and this maybe is just me. but you certainly can play some Ps1 games on the 3ds. I do so by removing music and videos using Pocketiso and then converting to pbp. personally I managed to run at decent speeds (granted not full speed):
Castlevania SOTN (most of the time over 40fps, drops as low as 32 and goes as high as 60 depending on stage and configuration, also be sure to have the right bios)
Marvel vs Capcom 32-40fps
pocket Fighter (similar enough to MVC)
All of this with sound on but without music. By the way I have an Old3DS and psxrearmed from retroarch 1.36 cia version problem is that such verisons of retroarch are difficult to find and I'm sure there must be a better one than the one I got right now, but the point still remains, if it can be played this good with an OLD3ds then I'm sure it will be better with the new. Last but not least, perhaps ps1 emulation was dropped to fast for the 3ds, I think the point wasn't just having a good emulator (which I'm sure could be improved) but also getting the right kind of roms to play.
The game runs at ~25 FPS on my o3DSXL. Play this on computer or exchange your o3DS for a n(2/3)DS(XL).Hey, can u share the retroarch build u are using and also that sotn file with us?
Im also with a O3DS and i just want to run few 2d games like sotn with decent performance, dont care about the 3d ones since O3DS is not strong enough to most of them
Thanks!
