open_agb_firm (Name not finalized) - A custom FIRM payload that takes advantage of the built-in GBA firmware, it's still in early development but has an alpha build available.The only problem is each ROM must be injected and installed individually, including the save files, which makes the number of titles that can be installed restricted to the max the 3DS title limit (300 titles, not including pre-installed system titles). New Super Ultimate Injector - There are other programs that can do injections, but this one is nice as it can do other Virtual Console injections and some forwarders for emulators.There are two ways to take advantage of this firmware: If you're using an old 3DS/2DS, this is the best option to play GBA games.
Because it's technically running a "virtual" GBA, it can't provide features that are normally available on other emulators, such as savestates, screen filtering, or sleep mode, however it does have high compatibility with the exception of cartridges with special hardware. The 3DS does include native firmware for a GBA mode which was mainly used to run ambassador releases instead of having to develop an emulator for them. What makes this emulator stand out is the fact that it's able to display the graphics in 3D the way it was intended, something that is almost impossible to do on other platforms, unfortunately compatibility is still low and requires a New 3DS to run.

The only cores the older 3DS can reliably run at full speed are 2048, Gambatte, QuickNES, NXEngine, and some older Sega games using PicoDrive. Using current exploits, the New 3DS is capable of running most of these cores at or nearly at full speed on most games. Most accurate but slowest SNES core (~40 FPS),too slow to use even on New 3DS at present Same as Snes9x 2005 but with better sound, at the cost of a few FPS, has more accurate audio, slower ~55-60 FPS on standard games, ~50 FPS on Super FX games Less compatible than CATSFC, but can actually run many special chip games at full speed Redbook audio hangs when suspending or pausing RetroArch MegaDrive/Genesis/MasterSystem/GameGear/CD/32X/SG-1000 MegaDrive/Genesis/MasterSystem/GameGear/CD/32XĢD games run full speed, 3D games run about 30 FPS or less Most games are too slow to run even on New 3DS, though JoJo runs almost full speedĪcceptable with Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, but some games are slow to use, even on New 3DS, at present Main core (fbalpha2012_libretro) does not work, but platform-specific cores run at full speedĪ few games are unable to be loaded due to memory constraints.5.1 MegaDrive/Genesis/MasterSystem/GameGear/32X/Sega CD.
