Sarcasm at its best. For anyone that finds themselves on this thread after a search. There is a DS emulator for OS X, it's called DeSmuME. It's not a 1.0 release, however I've never had any issues with it. The 3DS is actively being worked on by Nintendo with updates being pushed out every month to work with the new games. Hence its been really hard for people to reverse engineer it. They think they're getting somewhere, when it's patched up by the next week. R4 3DS Emulator is an emulator for Windows PC of the Nintendo 3DS portable video console with which we can run all its games from our computer's desktop. Nintendo shouldn't hear about this otherwise it will get angry. You can play 3DS games on Windows PC using R4 3Ds Emulator. It emulates the process and the graphics of the Nintendo 3Ds console. It processes game graphics in the best manner compared to other emulator software available. Thus there isn't even any homebrew. We most likely won't see an emulator until three years down the road at this point, especially with the Pokemon X & Y buzz and new 2DS systems being put out. It's kinda stale right now, but it's going to quickly turn around by December and give it another 2 years of life. So like Dagless has pointed out, indeed your only option is to just get the actual hardware. There is no emulator that can play 3DS, and there's no point to the development of one until the 3DS development itself comes to an end because you wouldn't be able to play the latest games when they rely heavily on updated firmware. You're not going to see a 3DS emulator for at least a year or two, maybe longer. The reason for this is two fold: 1) There are no ARM emulators out there fast enough to run the 3DS system software (or any 3DS game for that fact). MAME recently got a basic DRC core that *could* potentially be up to the task in the future, but they've got a very, very long way to go before that is even remotely possible. ![]() 2) There is more to the 3DS then a CPU, and to my knowledge no serious reverse engineering attempts have been made to reverse engineer the 3DS's GPU, WLAN chipset, or any of the other silicon inside the console. At this point in time, anything you see claiming to emulate the 3DS is a scam or fraud (there's some lame ass emulator out there called 'eMu3Ds' that makes you complete a survey to get the 'BIOS files'- it's a total scam, don't bother falling for it). You might as well stop searching the internet because 3DS emulation isn't going to magically sprout up overnight- the code required to make it happen doesn't exist yet and nobody is actively working on it with any meaningful amount of dedication or effort. Click to expand.So what you're telling me, is that Nintendo has some kind of right to continually benefit from me because my ancient console died and the only replacement I can buy is a brand new console, all so that I can pay for the games I've already bought again? Unfortunately I live in a sane country with a sane government and sane laws. Emulation is not illegal here, if you own the hardware first- so I don't really care what Nintendo thinks they're entitled to. I'm not at all surprised that they're against emulation. God forbid people should continue enjoying the same old entertainment until the end of time. If that happened, they might land up going bankrupt! ![]() And then what would we do without the next major rehashing of Super Mario Brothers? The Nintendo quote was just in the mood for this topic (3DS) but it is true that laws vary from country to country from case to case, and so on. Now I absolutely agree with the fact some old consoles won't benefit from 'sales' anymore so not like by emulating them, they won't perceive money. But anyway copyright is copyright and intellectual property is intellectual property and they can do whatever they please or feel like, after all they 'invented' it.
