you couldn't even answer the OPs question proving my point that you don't even understand how what hes asking is detrimental.

>>5509316
not even him but just stfu already no one cares about you.
OP it's fine, a bit of input lag, but shouldn't really matter

>>5509316
try to articulate yourself without using memes, retard

>>5509316
Well buddy if you're the one with the knowledge why don't you explain the reason why his post is "detrimental" instead of smugly posturing and accomplishing nothing of value with your post?

>>5509312
>turning into
It was always /v/, it was just an easier lie to swallow that it was somehow 'better'
>>5509298
Same as any emulation; a few quirks and bumps but unless you're a humongous stickler, you'll probably not notice it.

Unironically.

zsnes runs fine.

Generally I have found Nintendo's snes emulation to be fine. And with a jrpg you will never notice anything like input lag.
Their n64 emulation- especially on the wii u is rife with input lag, though. Wii is much better in that regard.

And in general, nintendo removes a lot of flashing effects from many games due to seizure concerns.

>>5509298
>because reasons
Too helpless to set up emulation on a PC or phone?

>>5509340
>phone

>>5509341
Phone have a lot of processing power now. My four years old flagship can emulate Stupid NoFriendo, Sega, and GBA flawlessly, with some lightweight shaders.

>>5509330
>you need therapy

I.. I know.

Well it's pretty much perfect, my only complain is that even with the small resolution of the 3DS you can still see the rough pixels in the games due to the lack of scanlines, other than that it is great.

pee poo :3

>>5509486
That’s because everything is upscaled on the horizontal axis. Its top screen has a resolution of 800x240 in 2D mode.

>>5509486
>Well it's pretty much perfect

Oh you.

>>5509330
>Same as any emulation; a few quirks and bumps

NES Emulation has been perfect for the last 15 years, save for the dogshit nintendo pumps out and expects people to pay for.

>>5510016
Faggot.

>>5510035
Nintendies everyone. Keep paying for emulators that would have been considered inaccurate in 1998.

Show evidence it isn’t.

>>5509312

People have literally been saying this since 2013

>>5509551
>Its top screen has a resolution of 800x240 in 2D mode.
Where did you get this information?
In 2D mode the resolution is 400x240, in 3D it's 800x240 but each eye is only seeing half of that. SNES VC only runs in 2D

They are stretched a bit horizontally, but that's because it's scaling it from 8:7 (perfect square pixels) to 4:3 (rectangular pixels) to better match how they look on a real TV

I fell for the "PSP is an emulation powerhouse in 2018 meme" and fixed up a few broken ones on the cheap and have had a pretty solid experience with them so far. The system has a few obvious shortcomings when it comes to emulation so I mostly just use it for PSP lately and just recently got a 3DS.

That being said all the systems the PSP emulated well are far better on the 3DS. No screen ghosting, higher compatibility on average, more accurate emulation and all through the retroarch interface. The only thing the PSP does better atm is GBA emulation and marginaly faster load times.

If you're desperate to play some GBA pokemon games you can do VC injects which are better than nothing I suppose.

>>5510297
In 2D mode the internal resolution is 400x240, but the screen resolution is still 800x240. We’re talking actual physical pixel structure here. In 3D mode the extra horizontal pixels are used in tandem with the parallax barrier to create the illusion of a proper pixel grid, along with the 3D of course.

>They are stretched a bit horizontally
Completely irrelevant to what I was saying. You can disable this stretching, anyway.

>>5510315
What? You can run GBA games natively on the 3DS through VC injects, and even mGBA is running most games full speed.

>Better than nothing I suppose
It’s 1:1 accuracy so you’re damn right it’s better than nothing. It’s sure as shit better than the speed hack-ridden messes that are the GBA emulators on PSP.

>>5510315
>>5510324
Is SNES still crap on PSP? I haven't looked into it in years.

I keep hearing n3DS is the current portable emulation king.

>>5510324
Not in my experience. mGBA has boatloads of audio skipping on all the games I want to play which makes it a no go for me and gpsp with dynarec enabled crashes half the time.

>It’s 1:1 accuracy
Hmmmmmm no but its acceptable. I've run into a few games that wouldn't convert right or even generate a working save file. Plus you dont get any perks from emulation and you have to convert each game individually.

Its better than nothing.

>>5510351
>is snes crap on PSP
its as good as its going to get on regular PSP's. game library is about 60% playable, very subtle stutter and screen tearing in most games.

>I keep hearing n3DS is the current portable emulation king.
That honor would go to the GPD+, the Nvidia shield (if you can find one) or a Modded switch but for the price point and battery life 3DS is great.

>>5510373
>Hmmmmmm no
You write like a faggot. It’s literally using GBA hardware to run the games.
>I've run into a few games that wouldn't convert right or even generate a working save file.
1. Make sure you’re using a clean rip
2. Some games need to be anti-piracy patched
3. Some games need to be save patched
These are issues present when using GBA flash carts. Their presence on the 3DS doesn’t signify inaccuracy.
You can run any game perfectly that doesn’t make use of additional hardware (e.g, WarioWare, Boktai, NES Classic series).
>You have to convert each game individually.
It’s not drag and drop but I’ve never seen this as a big deal.

>>5510389
>You can run any game perfectly that doesn’t make use of additional hardware

They're literally just GBA cartridges in a lighter shell

>>5510376
>That honor would go to input lag+, input lag playing hide and seek, or a “portable” tablet

>>5510389
I don't think you understand what emulation is.

>>5510398
I don’t think you have a proper rebuttal.

>>5510389
WOW GBA on 3DS just werks amirite?

>>5510397
You don't have to be on this board if you don't really like video games.

Truly a fucking shame I have an o3DS. I bet that fucker can't handle SNES.

>>5510957
There are some options available to you. Look up the Emulation General and look for the "emulators on handheld" section.

16 bit emulation is a bit hit and miss but its not a total disaster.

>>5510891
Except for the parts I listed where it won’t “just werk”, coon.

>>5510894
You really shouldn’t be on this board if all you play is jarpigs.

>>5510028
The NES is a special case. It has really simple hardware, and, more importantly, is insanely well documented, more so than most home computers if the era. We know basically everything there is to know about the NES

>>5510319
But it looks exactly the same from a distance.

>>5511131
So how does Nintendo keep fucking up NES emulators?

>>5511138
Not to the anon who could still see the “rough pixels” in SNES games.

>>5511109
>You really shouldn’t be on this board if all you play is jarpigs.
yikes, what a stretch

>>5509352
3ds is still a lot more comfortable to play retro games on than a phone though

>>5511109
>you write like a faggot
You sound too smug and stupid to feel the embarrassed by your actions.
>It’s literally using GBA hardware to run the games.
Its not. Its still emulation but if you want to waste your time patching and converting every game individually that cant be save stated or in most cases suspended properly then hey, be my guest :o)

Works surprisingly well. Expect the odd frameskip. Good enough for rpgs. I played Megaman 7 and X series without big problems too.

>>5509298
If you want to emulate snes on 3ds you need a New 3DS and you have to use an ancient version of snes9x with broken audio because the 3DS is too slow to run the new versions at fullspeed.

too compressed

>>5509298
I'm late, sorry anon.
The pixel perfect mode is amazing.
The only downside to virtual console is that the roms have very low sound, even at max you can barely hear the music. This is obvious when you return to the console menu and the sound blasts you off.

>>5513993
The New 3DS XL has garbage speakers compared to older version of the 3DS.
My ancient original 3DS from 2011 is several times louder than my fancy New 3DS XL.

keeping paula safe!

>>5514015
It's not the speakers, it's the game itself.
