Opposed to normal use of RetroArch, these are all self-contained emulators, albeit sharing the same automatic configuration. 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 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 presentĢD games run full speed, 3D games run about 30 FPS or less 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.It has in-app purchases for $4.99 which bring dark theme and texture filtering to bump up the fidelity of in-game graphics.Multi-Systems RetroArch The app information itself says that the app might be unstable which is understandable as bugs and improvements will follow in the days to come. Since the app has just been released, the performance on other Android devices powered by Samsung Exynos or HiSilicon Kirin processors is still to be seen.

Dev team at Citra recommends 64-bit phones running Android 8.0 Oreo (or higher) with OpenGL ES 3.2 (or higher) and Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC (or higher) for glitch-free gaming experience. On the hardware front it also has Just-in-Time (JIT) CPU compilation and asynchronous GPU emulation for smooth gameplay.

The emulator brings amiibo, camera & microphone, and gamepad support to the fore in addition to motion controls via phone’s accelerometer access among many other features for quality in-game experience. Basically they adopted the best features from the unofficial versions and put together this stable version. It uses code from Dolphin for Android, Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator, and other similar projects. With help from the developers of earlier attempts at Nintendo 3DS emulators, the dev team at Citra created the official port.
