NEW! CATSFC SNES Emulator on Ironhax/*hax 2.5 build, firmware 10.1U
Best core compatibility for your system: *Subject to change with updates
"If you're using .3dsx cores, support will only be provided on 2.5 hax or latest."
As you know the specs on the different systems (old 3ds, 2ds and new 3ds) are quite different, so this results in some cores running better than others. Below is a list of which cores are best suited for your system to help you obtain the best gaming experience possible.
3DSX is confirmed working on *Hax 2.5 (Includes Ironhax & Browserhax) on the latest firmwares.
CIA is confirmed working on firmware 9.2 and below. ON EMUNAND ONLY
Note: Users on 9.2 and under, especially with o3ds, with big speed issues (especially on GBA) should just switch to rom injection instead of RetroArch.
Link to thread is below.
Key:
*: 60FPS or around full playable compatibility
-: Playable or struggles with compatiblity
x: Not playable at all, not enough frames
Old 3DS: *If your running on firmware 9.2 or below you want to use the .cia versions of the following due to kernel hax, otherwise use .3dsx
- Fceumm (NES emulator)*
- Gambatte (GB/GBC emulator)*
- Quicknes (NES emulator)*
- Catsfc (SNES emulator)x
- *pcsx (PS1 emulator, .cia is needed for this one)x (unless you use the .cia)
- *fb alpha cps1 (Capcom Playsystem 1 emulator)-
- *fb alpha cps2 (Capcom Playsystem 2 emulator)-
- *fb_alpha_neo_libretro (NeoGeo emulator)-
- gpsp (GBA emulator)-
- mgba (GBA emulator)-
- mednafen pce (TurboGrafx16 emulator)*
- Genesis plus px (Sega Genesis emulator)*
- nxengine (Cave Story)*
- mednafen wswan (Wonderswan emulator)*
- mednafen vb (Virtual Boy, .cia is needed for this one)x
- fmsx (FMSX PC emulator)*
- 2048 (2048 numbers game)*
New 3DS: *If your running on firmware 9.2 or below you want to use the .cia versions of the following due to kernel hax, otherwise use .3dsx and you should be fine on N3DS besides pcsx (hopefully for now). Also most of the emulators above will work also.
- Nestopia (NES emulator)*
- Catsfc (SNES emulator)*
- *Catsfc Plus (SNES emulator)-
- snes9x (SNES emulator)-
- *fb alpha cps1 (Capcom Playsystem 1 emulator)*
- *fb alpha cps2 (Capcom Playsystem 2 emulator)*
- *fb_alpha_neo_libretro (NeoGeo emulator)*
- gpsp (GBA emulator)*
- mgba (GBA emulator)-
- *pcsx (PS1 emulator, .cia is needed for this one)x (unless you use the .cia)
- mednafen pce (TurboGrafx16 emulator)*
- Genesis plus px (Sega Genesis emulator)*
- nxengine (Cave Story)*
- mednafen wswan (Wonderswan emulator)*
- mednafen vb (Virtual Boy, .cia is needed for this one)x
- fmsx (FMSX PC emulator)*

*Catsfc Plus has better sound quality but at the cost of performance
*PCSX rearmed DOES NOT SUPPORT .iso only bin, cue, img, mdf, pbp, toc, cbn, m3u
*FBA Roms can take several minutes to load, so be patient. If you get an error talking about ram burn that means the rom will not load on your system due to the size being too big. Expected ROMSET should be v0.2.97.36, if its not working you either have a bad rom or its from the wrong set.
