The New 3DS XL and Wii U are killer retro gaming systems once modded. Can play pretty much anything.
The Wii U can't really play PS2, but pretty much anything other than that, yeah, barring some weird incompatibilities with some VC injects. It's an awesome system once modded.
I agree, you can also use the original wii for the best gaming system
@@oodogla I love my original Wii. But the Wii U can also emulate DS games with its dual screens, and run PS1 programs under emulation.
@@workinprogress8978 No Dreamcast or later except GameCube/Wii/DS. Between the Wii U and New 3DS XL, they can run ALL Nintendo games ever made except for Switch. Plus all Sega except Dreamcast. They are quite the pair, being able to run GBA/DS, GC and Wii games natively!
one s is better for emulation has everything up to 3ds
The vc injector works great on the 2ds. Can conferm that the gameplay is 100% playable and enjoyable have done it for me and my friends and would recomend to anyone
The only issue I've really noticed is that the GBA games sometimes have this weird screen wrap issue where top part of the screen will display on the bottom .I got Banjo Pilot to wrap properly once, and I'm not sure how
@@violetmeteorz9805 I'm sure there is someone that on the r/3dspiracy reddit that could help you with that. I've personally never experienced this.
@@violetmeteorz9805 To fix that, start the game, press home, and then hold start.
While holding start, alternate between left and right on the D pad. The screen will shift until you align it correctly.
Note, you can also change the brightness settings by holding start and pressing either up or down on the D pad.
What does VC mean
@@VinnyIurillo Virtual Console. Like NES and SNES games.
I PRAY somebody updates daedalusx64 for better compatubiloty on the n3ds. Id LOVE a DK64 decompilation or the Banjo games too.
Yeah I've been waiting too, but it's either just that hard to do (likely) or there isn't much interest in it. The emulator's gone long enough without an update that it seems abandoned, and nobody else really seems interested in trying their hand at it either.
Agreed. It's stuck at V1. Would love to see it go forward.
@@Alexander-ix2jp I would love to see it go forward too.
Virtual Boy with Red Viper is one of my favorite things we can do on the 3DS. Having played these games in 2D for years...wow it's amazing. So many layers of 3D goodness
Man I love the 3ds modding community, there's a ton of emulators and fan ports/remakes available to play
Was just looking for this video… Low and behold I get this notification, thanks Anton !
Appreciate it! Great timing I guess :)
Modded my *new * 2DSXL to the max and i use some of these emulators mentioned. Great system for all the retro games!!!
Love to see more homebrew 3DS videos!
I feel like one benefit of open_agb_firm that wasnt talked about is the fact that since it's run completely natively, there are no emulation bugs! I'm pretty sure it's the closest you can get to running the game on an actual Game Boy system without actually having the physical thing.
The downside is that because it's not an emulator, you're missing out on a lot of emulator features like save states and such. Personally I'm a sucker for accuracy and lack of bugs so despite being on a New 3DS, I still prefer open_agb_firm.
Thanks for the video!
Here's a question though:
I was playing Sonic Advance and the screen looked slightly worse on OpenAGB than it did on a normal VC inject. It isn't unplayably bad, just noticeable. Is there a reason why this this?
Fingers crossed that we get a WiiU homebrew tutorial like your 3DS one. Sad to see that the WiiU shop is down 😢
You forgot PC 98 Emulation which is beautiful on the New 3ds Systems
I saw your comment on the Streetpass Live 2 Panel. Thank you for enjoying it. I hope the nintendo 3ds legacy continues on. Heres to many more years man! ❤
i only recognize you because i watch demeech
I have an original 3DS and a PSP 3000 that I’ve modded to use for handheld retro gaming. In general, I use the PSP for PS1, NES, GBA, GB/C, Genesis, SMS, GG, Lynx, WSC, NGP, CPS, and Neo Geo; while I use the 3DS for PCE, SNES, VB, and DS (though there is some crossover). Between those and native retro collections, I’ve got a pretty substantial library of gaming machines I can play in the palm of my hand, so I haven’t really seen much reason to go in on those dedicated emulation handhelds yet. I think once those start to get Dolphin and PCSX2 running well at reasonable prices, I’ll probably bite-assuming I don’t already have a Steam Deck or something by then.
I hope TH-camrs stop ending all their sentences going down at the end. I can't stand how every single sentence sounds the exact same, lower pitch and held out.
I can't unhear this...
@@seriouslyigiveup mr beast destroyed youtube videos
What are you talking about? That how sentences are naturally inflected. Most questions are inflected upwards. Do you want every sentence to sound like a question even when it's not? I sure don't because that infuriates me.
@@mallow2902 the speaker in this video is most certainly not naturally inflecting the English language. This is a very good example of the TH-camr reading a script inflection that causes you to pay slightly more attention because every sentence sounds partially like a question or like it’s an incomplete thought. It’s purposely for engagement reasons, but it is kind of annoying once you notice it.
@@tainicon4639 huh? Did we listen to the same video? Yeah, it's obvious he's inflecting like he's reading, and that's natural when reading aloud, but it doesn't sound like his sentences are ending like questions at all. I don't even know what you're talking about.
The fact that it can play Virtual Boy now is all I really needed. Nintendo really missed an opportunity to put that on VC
why am I not surprised that you're happier with the virtual boy than you are with the switch...
@@jclkaytwo what does the switch have to do with any of this
@@steel7399 this knuclear person keeps spamming hate comments about the switch on pretty much every video they can find.
@@jclkaytwo unless they're like calling for the genocide of switch owners I dont see any reason to call someone "knuclear" over disliking a video game system
@@steel7399 bruh their name is literally knuclear. come on man
To think how amazing virtual console on the Switch could've been..
Also 8:25
IS THAT CELESTE?
We will have jailbroken Switches at some point.
Eventually someone will find a way to redirect the Switch updater on a pretend-server, and feed it a jailbroken system update.
It's a matter of time. No jail is impossible to break.
Have a good day retro
CPS and Neo-Geo Forwarder Creator are goat for Arcade sim 100% speed with "new" 3ds
This is very educational!
OpenAGBFirm is awesome! Twilight Menu can also play GBA games, but it would seem that OpenAGB has better accuracy.
Could you make a video on how to download DSIWare, Wii Virtual Console, WiiWare, Nintendo 3DS original/Virtual Console and Wii U original/Virtual Console games please and could you also make a video on how to get the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection service for the DS and Wii and the Online servers for the 3DS and Wii U pretty please
I'm just waiting patiently for Daedalus to start being updated again.
Sometimes the virtual console method is necacary for my when I try rom hacks like Pokémon Femboy edition bot other wise openagb is good
I use a 128gb sd card on my N3DS XL, and I find that the standalone emulators are laggy on a larger memory card. They run fine on my og3ds with a 32GB sd card.
I haven’t had any issues with performance using RA on my n3DS, though startups take a few seconds. You have to use cores like gpsp for gba, and snes9x 2002 for SNES, but they run almost everything perfectly (or at least smooth and close enough for the purists).
are there save states? I haven't been able to find that feature - like quick save and reload
I recently played through A Link to the Past on my 3DS and used save states quite a bit, works great. Although I can't guarantee every emulator supports them.
Agb firm looks really cool. It's like Magic Swap for PS2.
How can we play Warioware twisted with gyro support on the 3ds ?
Thank you for explaining how to get the green dmg screen and 3d effect of gameboy. While I will play gameboy on other devices I'm glad to have tried it. Ok now on to the rest of the video
Agree with the others, someone needs to continue n64 emu development on 3ds and add Dreamcast to the list while at it.
I find that TWM++ has a lot of emulators built in, including one that runs gba games natively
Nice video thanks for the info !
Glad to see it was helpful!
NO WAY YOU CAN PLAY GAME BOY CAMERA ON MGBA
HOW COME NO ONE TOLD ME
NSUI my beloved ❤️
I grow more worried by the month for the future of New 2/3 DS XL. The hardware is getting older, units break, collectors put them on shelves.
There is no new option for the 2/3DS XL hand-held experience.
Other hand-held consoles can be emulated on new, affordable hand-held consoles. The 2/3DS dosen't have that preservation safety yet.
PS1 emulation on the new 3ds is great. I played symphony of night on it recently and it l was fantastic
Very good we like it.
By any chance, do you know how Mega Man 64 runs on Daedalus ? I've seen the compatibility lists it as perfect, but so is Mario 64 and I've heard that one crashes regularly.
Not sure how Mega Man 64 runs on new 3ds, but if you're willing to play the PS1 version of the game, Mega Man Legends, that's been running pretty well on my system when I was testing it out.
@@thelemonadestandman Hell that's even better! Legends is the better version anyway! 3DS seems like a better fit for the games since the Vita doesn't have an R2 or L2!
@@thelemonadestandman hey Quick question. Whenever I start up Mega Man Legends on 3DS, it gets stuck on the loading screen. Any tips?
@@violetmeteorz9805 I can't say I've had that problem. It's been booting up fine for me. What file format is the game in and do you have a PS1 bios file set up for the retroarch ps1 emulator?
I'm curious to know if Pokemon works. As in, say FireRed. If I have it running natively, would I still be able to transfer pokemon to Gen 4 and so on? What if it's emulated instead?
I tried both, and it didn't seem to work. However, I was using a file of Platinum off of the SD card and not an actual cartridge, so maybe that would work.
I'll try to figure it out if I ever get shiny Manaphy
You can use PKSM to transfer Pokemon using it's storage.
i like.very good 🤩
was great Anton
Hi I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to play sega cd games on pictodrive because they don’t show up on my 3ds when I move them over to try and play
highest it can go is psx and even then its 2d mostly very few 3d titles run well
Funny thing about the VC Injects: whatever emulation Nintendo used for the systems, it doesn't always play nice when it comes to certain kinds of ROM hacks. It could be because it doesn't support certain mappers. Who knows?? Examples are as follows...
Ex. 1.: So there's a hack for Super Mario Bros. 3 that converts it into a literal 8 bit Super Mario All-Stars. But it won't work as a VC Inject (garbled graphics).
Ex. 2.: English patched Final Fantasy IIj & Final Fantasy IIIj? Forget about it, they crash my N2DSXL outright almost immediately after you press A to launch and the screen fades.
Ex. 3.: Ahhh, TurboGrafx 16 aka PC Engine...some games have been iffy. Bonk's Adventure simply wouldn't work (but Bonk 2 & Bonk 3 work fine, oddly)...the PC Engine port of the Famicom/Nes Ninja Ryuukenden aka Ninja Gaiden? It SEEMED to work...but upon beating the World 1 boss in stage 1-2, the game immediately resets to the title screen.
I'll definitely get that Poke Mini emulator!
mGBA still isn't perfect on the New 3DS either. At least, I ran into some audio issues with games (Mega Man Battle Network and Tactics Ogre). But most games to work really well, I just had bad luck with the games I really wanted to play.
Retroarch just wasn't worth it, IMO.
I tried emulating GBA games on my 3DS but didn't have great success, although my DSi seems to run them flawlessly
Can i request a tutorial on how to send roms from a moddeed 3ds to my pc plz
So can I emulate Dreamcast to play SA, SA2 and JSR?
actually there is a wide port for Mario 64 runs perfect
how do i setup open agb firm? i downloaded it off of github and theres no 3ds file or open_agb_firm.firm file. what do i do?
Am I just dumb or did he never touch on SNES emulation?
how do i inject GBA homebrew games to the home menu using new super ultimate injector? everytime i try to inject a GBA homebrew game (or really any unofficial game) since its an unofficial game, it says "game isn't in our database".
It just means you need to add the artwork and title info on your own, you can still add the game!
@@FestivelyPlump7 no im not talking about the artwork, im talking about the game. it just refuses to let me inject the game because its not in their database of officially released games
@@FestivelyPlump7 im an idiot. i didnt realize it still let me add the game
@@ZingaMadinga Glad you figured it out 👍
can you make tutorials how to homebrew the wii u?
Hey does anyone know what that Celeste type of game is in the fake 08 part?
The greatest console ever made the new 3ds.
Almost picked up a 2 ds and 2x ds lite for the price of 1 ds lite last week but someone beat me to it ofc 🙄
For some reason, daedalusx64 doesn’t save saved games, I have to use save states
do you know how to put the homebrew app on the nintendo switch
Is it better to use mGBA or open_agb_firm for gameboy?
Link to your Contest Channel remix?
For me 3ds is just for 3ds and ds games. Because DS system was have 2 screen. And it not statisfy at all to emulate 3ds and ds games. For range price its better to take ps vita. Or me personally like to use switch to be my console that can emulate retro
Hi can I trade my 3ds xl and new 2DS xl and my 2DS and normal 3ds for new 3ds xl
I was thinking of either getting a Pearl white new 3DS XL but will it become yellow after some time of usage? If so what colour is recommended?
I don’t know which colour ages best. I have a blue one and its paint is flaking off around the bottom sides where your hands grips the unit. Can get replacement top and bottom face plates if needed but I haven’t seen any that match the blue.
I have that one and i love it🤍
Thanks for vid!!!!
Very random question but.. would it be possible for the 3DS (the New 3DS at least) to run Dreamcast games?
To actually run them? Possible. Somebody got a working Dreamcast emulator running on PSP some years back, which was a hell of a feat.
It wouldn’t be playable, though. You could probably expect lower single digit framerates. The 3DS, even the New one, just doesn’t have the processing power to force Dreamcast games to run in anything resembling a playable state.
@@diebesgrab What about GameCube games? Or is that also not possible
Virtual boy wouldve been the most perfect thing to sell on 3DS. Nintendo missed a good there
Plz make a tutorial on ps1 emulation
I have a question, I still have a H Shop and Homebrew on my 3DS, but I want to have more space on my system to download more games. What should I do?
Ack
My comments still aren't appearing, but just get a bigger SD card. Follow guides on which ones are good to get.
Between mGBA and GBARunner2, what would be the best way to play GBA games? Been looking for an excuse to migrate over to mGBA for a while now..
I don't use either so I don't know how qualified I am for advice, but I've heard many good things about mGBA!
Better to use open agb firm. It uses hardware retrocompatibility, all games will run as good as on an original gba
@@tsubasaholicmokona while that's true and it's definitely my preferred way of playing GBA games, it also lacks a lot of features emulators have like save states, so I would say it's up to preference based on whether you prefer accuracy or features.
Psx needs a lot of tweaking but I found a settings sweet spot that works beautifully. Good stuff! Like actually almost every game is very playable for psx. Also n64 is worth it on n3ds for f zero wave race and Mario kart cause they run best in my experience
Hi) what tweaking do you use?
Retro arch is trash on any system including pc. That's why they have a space invader logo because atari is the only thing it's good for. Thanks for pointing that out to the public. Standalone emulators are the way to go.
The screen resolution is so bad though. A vita or miyoo/ anbernic devices are a much better option
we know
8:26 game name?
Awesome
Open agb firm is a gba emulator. It doesn’t run games natively.
Based on everything I've read about it, this is wrong
From what I understand, the reason the ambassador program allows you to run GBA games is because the 3DS still uses the same architecture as the GBA, so you can absolutely still run them all natively. open_agb_firm takes advantage of that and allows you to run the games the same way, without the need for an emulator.
If you have a source proving otherwise I'd be genuinely interested in hearing more about it though, this is the first time I've heard anyone say open_agb_firm is an emulator.
@@Werwa_ yeah I'm wrong. I had gbarunner2 in mind and that usually gets labeled as a native runner wrongly.
@@mohamedaminekhadhraoui6417 ah, no worries then. Thanks for clearing that up!
That is not a 3DS it is a NEW 3DS, the old version if you hack it to play Super Nintendo game it will lag the f$# out, and would even lag even more with N64 games. So partial malicious click bait. If someone did not know about the diffrence between new 3DS and 3DS they could have put does hack the old 3DS and be very confused on why it is very laggy while yours have no lag at all, and just reply back to you with a RAGE comment.
Depends on the emulator you use. I played through A Link to the Past recently on my 3DS using emulation and didn't have a single problem.
He made it pretty clear in the video which emulators worked better with each system. Not really sure what you're talking about.
Most SNES games I’ve tried on my original 3DS run pretty much fine. Super FX and SA-1 games usually don’t, sure, but that’s a pretty small percentage of the SNES library.
@@diebesgrab Yeah I tried Yoshi's Island and it wasn't great, I'd stick to normal SNES games.
why do you talk like this
