What is Homebrew?

Homebrew is usually software that has not been authorized by the company behind the system, in our case Nintendo.
Some things you can do with Homebrew are: save editing and backup, emulators for older systems and homebrew games.
On most firmware versions, accessing the Homebrew Launcher is totally free, using the Nintendo 3DS Sound app.
However, if you are on 11.4 or above, you need an alternate method(requires an exploitable game like Cubic Ninja or Freaky Forms Deluxe) of entering the Homebrew Launcher.

Now go back to your 3DS Simple CIA Conveter program (you sure have left open, if not restart it) Select 'Convert 3DS ROM to CIA' a windows pop up to select a folder, leave it like it is and press 'Select folder'. No need to type anything! A few seconds or minutes later you will see a small windows pop up saying 'Finished' press 'OK' and close. 3) Put.xorpad files you generated on 3DS from SD root into 'xorpads' folder, press 'Convert 3DS ROM to CIA' button, select folder with.3ds files and wait for program to finish. With version 5.0 of the program XORpads are no longer required if proper 'boot9.bin' file detected in the same folder.

What is CFW?

CFW stands for Custom Firmware. It allows us to use more advanced hacks than normal userland homebrew.
For example signature patches let us install apps directly to the Homemenu and the Homebrew Launcher can be accessed anytime.
Because of the super awesome boot9strap (∩ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)⊃━☆ﾟ, CFW is now possible on every Firmware! The recommended guide to install it, is Plailects written guide.

What is a CIA file?

The term CIA stands for CTR Importable Archive. It's a generic container file for application or game data meant to be installed on the 3DS (similar to WADs on the Wii). However, to run unsigned (unlegit) CIAs, we need to have some sort of signature patch on our system. The recommended CIA Manager is FBI.

What is a NAND/SYSNAND?

The NAND is a chip on the motherboard of your 3DS, and it is the main storage of your console, similar to a HDD on your Computer. It is where everything on the system itself is stored, like the HOME Menu or the Sound app. The NAND is often called SYSNAND.

What is an EmuNAND?

An EmuNAND is a copy of your SysNAND that runs from your SD-Card. It was often used to access online features when you needed to stay on a lower firmware because of a Gateway cart or to stay on a firmware that had an arm9 exploit available.
NOTE: For the average user, an EmuNAND is completely useless these days. Everything can be done on SysNAND, and it will only damage your SD.

What is a Dump?

A Dump is a copy of a storage medium, in our case it's a cartridge or an installed title. A crash dump however is often used to diagnose and fix bugs in software. If you want to dump a title yourself, you can find a guide here

What is a Hardmod?

Hardmod stands for Hardware modification. It requires soldering wires to specific points on the motherboard of the console. This allows us to read and write directly to the NAND. Soldering experience is essential because a simple mistake can damage your device unrecoverable. A guide can be found here

What is GodMode9?

GodMode9 is a full access file browser for the 3DS coded by d0k3. It can do any imaginable change to the SD or system data. It's a very powerful tool, capable of backing up the NAND, restoring the NAND, formatting the SD Card, dumping cartridges/installed titles to name just a few features. The other tools by d0k3 are decrypt9WIP and Hourglass9, however, GodMode9 can do everything those two can, probably even better.

What is a Native_FIRM, NFIRM or FIRM?

You can call it the 'kernel' of your firmware. Most of the updates update the Native_FIRM too, and new games require newer Native_FIRMs. However, having a firmware version of let's say 11.5 does not always mean you are on 11.5 NFIRM too, since 11.5.0-38 did not update NFIRM.

What is AGB_FIRM?

The AGB_FIRM is used instead of the Native_FIRM when your console is running GBA Virtual Console games, from injectors or the ambassador program. AGB_FIRM is the reason GBA VC games are different from normal VC games, since GBA VC is not an emulator.

What is TWL_FIRM?

The TWL_FIRM is used instead the NATIVE_FIRM when you play DS Games. It runs your console in 'DS' or 'DSi' mode, when running from a cartridge or when playing DSiware games.

What is a DSP?

DSP stands for Digital signal processor. It's a miniprocessor used for signal processing, such as audio mixing. This gives a little more information about DSPs.

Because of the homebrewing scene the 3DS has had, you can install a variety of emulators. Currently, the New 3DS is capable of running much faster than the older models, making it a much more ideal platform for emulation, but despite this there are still some emulators that have issues regardless.

Multi-System[edit]

RetroArch[edit]

There are preliminary 3DS ports of the following cores: stable 3DS ports

• 2048
• FinalBurn Alpha CPS1
• FinalBurn Alpha CPS2
• FinalBurn Alpha CPS3 (most games are too slow to run even on New 3DS, though JoJo runs almost full speed)
• FinalBurn Alpha Neo Geo (A few games are unable to be loaded due to memory constraints)
• FCEUmm
• Mednafen NGP
• Mednafen PCE Fast
• Mednafen VB
• Mednafen WonderSwan
• mGBA (acceptable with Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, but some games are slow to use, even on New 3DS, at present)
• NXEngine
• PCSX-ReARMed (see below)
• Snes9x 2002 (formerly PocketSNES) (less compatible than CATSFC, but can actually run many special chip games at full speed)
• Snes9x 2005 (formerly CATSFC)
• Snes9x 2005 Plus (formerly CATSFC Plus) (has more accurate audio, slower)
• Snes9x 2010 (formerly Snes9x-Next) (too slow to use even on New 3DS at present)

Using current exploits, the New 3DS is capable of running most of these cores at or nearly at full speed on most games. The only cores the older 3DS can reliably run at full speed are 2048, Gambatte, QuickNES, NXEngine, and some older Sega games using PicoDrive.Opposed to normal use of RetroArch, these are all self-contained emulators, albeit sharing the same automatic configuration.Screenshot-taking is broken. Upon exiting RetroArch 3DS, press the Start button.

Unofficial Builds[edit]

There are unofficial ports which add new cores with emulators that do not have a retroarch by default

• Atari800
• GW
• VirtualJaguar

Consoles[edit]

NES[edit]

• 3DNESno longer in development

SNES[edit]

• Snes9x for 3DS - runs a good majority of games well, even on old 3DS/2DS's. It's recommended to use a New 3DS if you want to run games that uses the SuperFX or SA-1 chip properly.
• blargSNES - It works well, but lacks compatibility for games with certain chips (i.e. the SuperFX chip).

Nintendo 64[edit]

• DaedalusX64 - N64 has always been known to be a hard system to emulate, which is why many were skeptical about how feasible it would be to have an emulator for the system on the 3DS. While still in its beta stage, it has shown a lot of improvements thanks to using a dynamic recompiler, with some games running at a playable state. It also supports using stereoscopic 3D (at the cost of slower performance), which isn't a feature a lot of emulators have.

Playstation[edit]

• PCSX-ReARMed (RetroArch) - Thanks to the work of many developers, it is now possible to have full speed 60 FPS emulation for a majority of games and support for .CHD compression formats. Generally, 2D games will perform better than 3D, however you can get some better performance by tweaking the settings if necessary. The nightly builds have seen major improvements since the initial release and can even play some of the more demanding games at full speed (See here for some tips), so it's better to use that until the next stable release. NOTE: This emulator is mainly targeted for the New 3DS so don't expect the o3DS to run well if at all.

Atari 2600[edit]

Genesis/32X/Sega CD[edit]

• PicoDrive for 3DS - 32X and Sega CD are playable on the original 3DS, but works better on New 3DS. Sega CD requires BIOS in order to play, they must be named:

'bios_CD_U.bin', 'bios_CD_J.bin', and 'bios_CD_E.bin' based on the respective regions. BIOS need to be in the /3ds/picodrive_3ds/bios folder.

PC Engine[edit]

Vectrex[edit]

• Vex3DS - Based on vecx

Handhelds[edit]

Game Boy[edit]

• GameYob: forked from a popular emulator used on the DS. Emulates the Game Boy and Game Boy Color. 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.

Virtual Boy[edit]

• r3Ddragon - It's kind of surprising that Nintendo never released a Virtual Console for the Virtual Boy on the 3DS, especially given how small the library of games were for the system and how both utilizes 3D effects and causes eyestrain. What makes this emulator stand out is the fact that it's able to display the graphics in 3D the way it was intended, something that is almost impossible to do on other platforms, unfortunately compatibility is still low and requires a New 3DS to run. Development has since halted.

Pokémon mini[edit]

Game Boy Advance[edit]

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. 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. If you're using an old 3DS/2DS, this is the best option to play GBA games. There are two ways to take advantage of this firmware:

• New Super Ultimate Injector - There are other programs that can do injections, but this one is nice as it can do other Virtual Console injections and some forwarders for emulators. The only problem is each ROM must be injected and installed individually, including the save files, which makes the number of titles that can be installed restricted to the max the 3DS title limit (300 titles, not including pre-installed system titles).
• open_agb_firm(Name not finalized) - A custom FIRM payload that takes advantage of the built-in GBA firmware, it's still in early development but has an alpha build available. The major advantage of this compared to VC injection is it can load the ROM through the SD card instead of having to convert and install them, but needs to be launched on boot instead of being able to use the 3DS HOME Menu (there's ways to make a forwarder for in on the HOME menu, but requires additional setup to get it to work). One major issue is there's a chance that it may not detect the correct save format or will corrupt the existing save file so make sure to backup your saves beforehand (they are currently trying fix it by having a better database for save detection, if you're interested you can help).
  • To install, simply put the .firm file in the /luma/payloads/ folder and hold START to load up the chainloader to launch it. There's no way of exiting out once the program starts, so you will need to turn it off and redo the step to load it if you wanted to change games.

On the other hand, there are also some homebrew GBA emulators available for 3DS:

• mGBA(Latest Nightly) - A port of the popular GBA emulator by the same developer, only a handful of GBA games suffer from slowdowns but are still playable. Also works great for GB(C) games and even supports the Gameboy Camera.
• 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). 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.
• CitrAGB - (based on gpSP)

Nintendo DS[edit]

• TWiLight Menu++ - Not technically an 'emulator', rather it's a frontend for a separate program, nds-bootstrap, which allows for an NDS ROM to be loaded from an SD card. The program is originally designed for the DSi, however it's able to work on the 3DS by utilizing the virtual DSi (aka the TWL_FIRM or 'DS Mode') that the 3DS has for backwards-compatibility. Compatibility isn't the same as using a flashcart, however it's still pretty high with only a few games having issues or triggering anti-piracy protections (newer versions now come with AP patches for most games and will patch them if needed at launch). It also comes pre-bundled with a variety of emulators used on the DS and a work-in-progress GBA hypervisor, GBARunner2, that works to some degree.

• DeSmuME - an experimental port of DeSmuME that has since been abandoned, it wasn't very compatible.

DSiWare[edit]

Because the firmware that the 3DS uses for backwards-compatibility is actually the same as the DSi, it's possible to inject DSiWare as an installable .cia file. There's two ways to do this:

• GodMode9 - Version 1.8.0 and above has a script that can convert .nds to .cia, 3ds.hacks.guide has more information on how to update to the latest version if needed.
• DSiWare Conversion Script - This script can be used to convert .bin files from your DSi's SD card to .nds which can then be used to convert into .cia.

These scripts will ONLY work for DSiWare, NOT NDS GAMES.

TWiLight Menu++ has support for two DSiWare as of v15.1.1 with a special preview of nds-bootstrap, Pop Island and Pop Island: Paperfield. These can also run on the DS.

Atari Lynx[edit]

• Handy 3DS - port of the Handy emulator to 3DS

Amiibo[edit]

• Wumiibo - Emulates Amiibo functionality on the 3DS without needing an NFC reader or using tags. You can even use your own Amiibo data, after it's been decrypted, or a generic AmiiboID which are freely available and explains how to get them on the project page.

CHIP-8[edit]

Super Mario 64[edit]

• SM64 3DS Port - Thanks to the decompilation project, you can now enjoy SM64 on the 3DS with *analog* support and native rendering (compared to the official DS port). Works pretty much at full speed on the New 3DS, the original model apparently has some slow downs but still playable. You can either build it yourself, or try finding pre-compiled build online (there are multiple versions, you can find some here but it's no longer up-to-date).

Virtual Console Injection[edit]

Some have tried injecting alternate ROMs in the available Virtual Console releases (MD, GG, NES, GBA Ambassador, GBC, Japanese emulated SFC compilations) with varying degrees of success. The emulators used for Virtual Console are not as accurate as other emulators so compatibility isn't perfect (the only exception is GBA since it runs it natively, not emulation), Sega systems in particular have high compatibility however.
There's an easy tool that will convert and inject any supported ROM file as its associated VC application called New Super Ultimate Injector. It's an all in one tool and can even remotely install the injection provided your 3DS is connected to the same network. It's currently in beta, but it's still really useful.
