There are two ways to take advantage of this firmware: If you're using an old 3DS/2DS, this is the best option to play GBA games. Because it's technically running a 'virtual' GBA, it can't provide features that are normally available on other emulators, such as savestates, screen filtering, or sleep mode, however it does have high compatibility with the exception of cartridges with special hardware. The 3DS does include native firmware for a GBA mode which was mainly used to run ambassador releases instead of having to develop an emulator for them. Compatiblity can be a hit-or-miss, but it's still in active development with plans to include interesting features such as gyro control emulation and local wireless multiplayer in the future.

GBARunner2 - a GBA hypervisor made for the DS(i), can only be ran through TWiLight Menu++ and is included by default with the program (see below).

The original DS version is actually more polished than the 3DS port, so some of the more hardware pushing games won't work as well as the DS port. Emulates the Game Boy and Game Boy Color.

GameYob - forked from a popular emulator used on the DS.

blargSNES - It works well, but lacks compatibility for games that require enhancement chips (SA1, SuperFX, etc.).

It's recommended to use a New 3DS if you want to run games that uses the SuperFX or SA-1 chip properly

Snes9x for 3DS - runs a good majority of games well, even on old 3DS/2DS's.

MasterSystem/MegaDrive/Sega CD/32xВ : PicoDrive 0.94.

~8fps (Technically works but is unplayably slow) ~5fps (Technically works but is unplayably slow) ~10fps (Technically works but is unplayably slow) Upon exiting RetroArch 3DS, press the Start button. 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 speedДЄcceptable with Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, but some games are slow to use, even on New 3DS, at presentДўD 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 speedДЄ few games are unable to be loaded due to memory constraints.
