You realize it’s literally a 240p screen? It’s the perfect vertical resolution for retro games, zero scaling needed. That being said it’s a bit too weak in the hardware department to really shine.

The Switch at 720p allows for a nice 3x scale, my preference is to make every third line a scanline, at that pixel density it reminds me a lot of how the 3DS screen looks but just bigger, and with a hell of a lot more powerful specs.

Android has added overhead. Most emulators would run fine despite that but I'd rather not have a bunch of stupid shit running while I'm playing games, phoning home to google and doing god knows what. Besides that the most practical reason is support for USB Bluetooth dongles. I tend to buy the cheapest boxes, setting my budget around $30. These lack built in Bluetooth but a Chinese made "CSR 4.0" dongle can be had for $1-2. Using EmuELEC you get proper support for the dongle, PS3 Dualshock 3 controllers, etc... When I emulated on Android in the past I needed to have an actual proper controller without Sony's proprietary nonsense and Bluetooth built into the device I was using which at the time was a Nexus Player.

As if learning to use win32diskimager and load roms onto your SD card is an insurmountable technical hurdle. You have multiple options for the second part. You could install something on Windows that can access a Linux file system and load it directly onto the card. You could SSH into the device over wifi and load it up with roms that way. Not as fast but easier especially if you just want to put a few roms on it at a time. Or you could even find premade disk images with all the roms if you look around. It takes very little effort as long as you don't want to do anything really crazy.

Jesus, you’re one of those r/PCMASTERRACE people who just look at big number = better specs aren’t you? Android is perhaps the single worst operating system for emulation (maybe iOS is worse) but retards like yourself will continue shilling it until the end of time. As I’ve said in this dumpster fire of a thread multiple times now, shell out and get a Switch if you’re not poor, otherwise your mobile emulator setup *will* be heavily compromised. I’m not even much of a fan if the Switch as its own console, it’s got a library if not shit, but goddamn is it a godsend for the barren wasteland of decent handheld emulation.

Linux is hard to install software from the tar as they are trying to hook you into their network of cultists. Android you just execute the tar with no online access and it ought to work fine in contrast.

It's more hermit, and yes that is ironic due to what google is with that all seeing eye, than linux computers. These devices I like because they have no sat. access. I'd prefer no bluetooth nor wifi too but oh well. Hopefully it won't turn on while I'm in the woods broadcasting my area. If it did I doubt it'd get that far.

But emulators, unless it's gen 5+, they don't need gobs of resources. They just don't, or didn't assuming that you people are using newer emulators.

Not really, I just know what computers are. Androids have a fuck ton of people developing for them as it's basically just porting linux to android's arm stuff. In current year it's already done.

When you hold Start or Select before launching a DS game on a 3DS, the game will be displayed in its original resolution. Doing so on a XL model will make the screen about the same size of an original DS, so I have this question: if I did this with GBC/GBA games (which is possible) would it be the same size as an actual GBC/GBA? If anyone could test that, that would be really nice.

Because the height of the 3ds and width of the gba are both 240px, we can assume the image on the XL will be just a little bit smaller than a real gba screen. But at least it's bigger than a GBA micro!

I've tried to look for that option and could it be that this one only exists in Beetle PSX HW? Since iOS only seems to have normal Beetle PSX and there this option doesn't exist. I feel like the iOS core is just fucked in general, since the game runs just fine, at 60fps, and I can even fast-forward with it still running great. N64 games also run well. I doubt it's the phone's fault, although that one is soon 5 years old, so it could just be that I overestimate the power of these things. I only used my phone for portable emulation anyway. If I were to get really serious about it, I'd probably buy the OneGX thingy or GPD Win 3 whenever those come out, just hope the build quality is good as in it doesn't break after 3 years.

This thread has motivated me to try and see what I can do on the 3DS once again. NES is piss easy of course, same with GB/C, GBA is native, things get funky with SNES and PSX. PSX is simpler because there’s only one real option, PCSX ReARMed, and it runs a few more simplistic sprite based games alright. I’ve been playing through Persona 2 on it, pic related, it’s not perfect but it runs full speed the vast majority of the time. and it’s very playable. However, do keep in mind a majority of games are still unplayable on this.

SNES is a clusterfuck, too many competing options and I’m still not sure any of them are *good*. There’s VC injects using Canoe, which is a mixed bag because it doesn’t support any enhancement chips, any ROMs over a certain size (4MB or 6MB, I forget), and needs per game patches for a lot of games to even work properly. SNES9x for Old 3DS is also wonky, it takes a lot of shortcuts to get to full speed, making a lot of games run with glitches, though I haven’t seen a single game not run at full speed on my new 3DS. However what kills me about this one is a persistent frame pacing issue, the game reports a constant 60fps but every few seconds there’s a very noticeable skip. Might not bother the less scrutinizing but it annoys the fuck out of me. Input lag is also a wonky one here, unlike Canoe. It’s worse in some games than others, Do-Re-Mi Fantasy is basically lag free but fucking Super Mario World feels like molasses. It’s hit or miss overall.

Next is Retroarch, I’ve been messing with SNES9x 2005 Plus, formerly CATSFC Plus, and it’s probably the best experience I’ve had so far. Other than Yoshi’s Island (which is broken on all of these and has a decent GBA port that runs flawlessly) and Mario RPG (probably other SA-1 games by extension) lagging, the ones that run at full speed run *very* nicely. No framepacing issues, no visual glitches I’ve seen, better input lag across the board. 1/2

2/2 Holding that one back though is the aforementioned performance and a very annoying issue that causes the audio to be slightly distorted. I’m still trying to work out what causes this as it seems to be only through the internal speakers, or at least more prevalent with them. Headphones seem okay, though.

There’s also SNES9x 2002 and 2005 in Retroarch. From what I understand, SNES9x for Old 3DS (aka the bubble2k version) uses 2002 with an improved audio core, and 2005 Plus uses 2005 with an improved audio core. I’ve yet to experiment with the other versions of Retroarch SNES, but 2002 I know has really shit audio so I’ll be skipping that. I’m wondering if 2005 has the same distortion issue as Plus. It will almost certainly have worse audio quality across the board, though. The Old 3DS stand-alone would be great in theory, as it combines the fastest version with the improved audio core, but the lag and framepacing holds it back. It’s also generally less polished than Retroarch, you need to turn off the 3D slider manually and the bottom screen stays illuminated, for example.

If you’re not an audio snob I’d try SNES9x 2005, if you are, have fun with this nightmare of a rabbit hole, or be smarter and just don’t use a 3DS for emulation in the first place. Will note that 2005 Plus *seems* fine with headphones but I didn’t use it for long that way.

It’s 2D mode that gives the scanline effect, due to the 800x240 resolution meaning each rendered pixel is represented by two horizontally half size pixels, with a much larger gap between each vertical line. When 3D is disabled, this gives a vaguely similar effect to scanlines on a TV.

Small update, did some more testing with Retroarch. SNES9x 2005 Plus is perfectly fine with headphones. It’s a bit scratchy on the speakers, but they’re not great anyway. If you’re the type who finds the speakers acceptable, I doubt you’d notice the issue anyway. Also tried regular 2005, immediately noticed audio issues. In Do-Re-Mi here it wasn’t a quality issue, most of the channels of audio simply weren’t playing at all. I’d avoid that one unless needed for speed on specific games.
