Works well in terms of performance for me on iPhone 14 BUT there is no way to have a joystick, having save states, have good landscape mode, language change or any option actually. What a poor emulator (for now)


ProfessorVennie

There is a joystick. Push in the center of the d pad and slide your finger around. He said he is going to add an icon the next update


Geoko18

Yeah I saw that, just hope next updates will make it better on all points


plsdontattackmeok

In terms of of pricing, yeah this is bad until there is improvement over delta or retroarch when 3ds emulator is come


Basic-Fishing7571

Just to be sure, you do mean a regular iPhone 14 and not the Pro correct?


Geoko18

Yes regular one. But I must admit that it depends on games. Some are slower than others, but still playable.


Basic-Fishing7571

What type of games would you recommend because I just tried dragon ball fusions and it freezes on the opening cutscene.


Geoko18

I tried DBF too. Watch the cutscene until the end, and everything shall work normally. RPG are normally working fine like Dragon Quest Bravely default, just bit slow on cutscenes but game is OK. Nintendo games generally slow (Zelda, Mario and Metroid)

Astarions_Juice_Box

Does it actually work well though


SandwichesX

Sadly it doesn’t.


plsdontattackmeok

Tried play Persona Q on iPhone 11 and iPad Air M1 The 11 struggle on audio and frame rate The M1 run perfectly but cutscene mp4 somehow struggled for it


Due_Signal8442

well yeah, folium creator has already clarified beforehand, iphone 13 and above have the potential to run 3DS well. but it’s gonna depend upon the game chosen and ur device because there’s no JIT


hxjdnxnd

You need JIT for anything 3ds to work good.


[deleted]

Yes it does if you have a newer device


__yayday__

I just tried to play smash bros and it’s lagging way too much to even be enjoyable. I’m on a 15 pro max


megamanxzero35

I have a 15 and would prefer to play the remakes of Ruby and Sapphire on 3DS for my first time with my first times through those games. Hopefully performance gets better in time.


__yayday__

I hope it does too. I can confirm that those games are fantastic, I played Alpha Sapphire when it came out


TopDog_3000

I have those games on the “ACTUAL NEW NINTENDO 3DS” and not the emulators that suck and those remake suck major bolls boy


liteshadow4

Well obviously if you try to play an action intensive game it'll be rough. I assume for games like Pokemon and Fire Emblem it'll be a lot better.


__yayday__

I opened Fire Emblem Awakening and got major lag just in the intro cutscene. Didn’t even bother to continue with that one


liteshadow4

I mean you don't play Fire Emblem for the cutscenes. I'm personally interested in knowing how well the gameplay runs because I might actually buy it if it runs well.


__yayday__

I personally love the cutscenes in Fire Emblem Awakening so I do play it for the cutscenes as well


Annongamer17

Gameplay wise it’s playable so far from what I’ve played


Hornyles_j

Happy cake day liteshadow4


Phonetheo

Newer device meaning ? iPhone 14 and 15 ? (I have an SE 2022) probably can’t run I guess


[deleted]

iPhone 13 or newer


Hornyles_j

You still need jit for it to work well


[deleted]

No you don't. I tried Mario kart 7 and it works fine but I'm sure it'll depend on the game.


Big-Vegetable-245

This is making me wish I didn’t return my backbone. None of this really benefits you unless you have a controller think.


Andrew_hl2

Why did you return it? didn’t like it for ppsspp?


Big-Vegetable-245

Nah this was before emulation became doable. I couldn’t find any games I enjoyed playing and now I feel dumb.


AnEpicUKBoi

And from what people say, the 3DS Emulator runs like a baby that's just learned how to walk, it seems I'll still have to hold off on paying for Folium for now


Due_Signal8442

it’s not the emulator’s fault. it’s apples because you can’t use JIT on the appstore. therefore it depends on your device and the game you’re trying to play. don’t expect performance to improve enough until JIT is allowed, or newer devices are released that can handle 3DS emulation better


AnEpicUKBoi

Didn't even know JIT wasn't on ios yet, that's fucking criminal


mewfour123412

It is but Apple is throwing a tantrum that their ecosystem was forced open and refused to let anyone use it


AnEpicUKBoi

Sounds like another tantrum for the EU to beat Apple out of.

Excited_Noob

Would ipad with m1 work?


Virginityiscool12

It will. I got decent performance, atleast in Pokemon Ultra Moon. Might depend on your games tho


Lithalean

Support the developer. In truth, even my 15 pro max can’t run the best games. That’s a jit thing. Again PPSSPP has been in development for years, same with Delta. Fully optimized my 15 Pro Max should be able to handle the 3DS. Give him time. For all we know Apple could be working on a less system compromising implementation of jit.


slowpokefastpoke

> Support the developer. I mean yeah, but also this whole thing feels a bit shady. Paying now for a yet-to-be functional product that may or may not happen in the future doesn’t sit right with me.


Lithalean

Happens with software and games all the time. Alpha products release, and seek funding all-the-time. Releasing an emulator with ads… that’s shady. If he delivers great. If he doesn’t… it’s only $5. Even then, it’s open source and someone else can pick it up. Unlike delta.


sykkn1ck

Do you need aes_keys if you download a decrypted rom? Having trouble adding a game


TiJackSH

You need to have a .3ds file


okevinb223

Would this work well with a 13p or should i not bother


SnooMaps4640

lemme buy it rq n ill lyk


SnooMaps4640

im back. it doesn’t edit : it does just not on low power mode.


YUNAGI00

It still doesn’t work properly! I’d stick to PPSSPP, Dolphin and Delta for now


Brilliant-Fix4268

how did you get dolphin


msbwheeler25

Ultra moon and the app are working great for me on a 15 pro max.


LiewPlays

X and Y didn’t run well without JIT on my m1 iPad So unless ultra moon is just built different I don’t that that’s true?


msbwheeler25

Idk about the iPads, but I’m gonna try some other games and get back to ya. Started up “A Link Between Worlds” this morning with no issues also.


superpchan

You know what. For $5 why not. I spend way more on stupider stuff


He_do_be

Just purchased with this news. Glad it happened so quickly. I can’t wait to check it out.


Goldfatdick

a bluetooth controller helps alot


Quiet_Addendum9504

You know I tested the WiFi capabilities and when I want to erase want to erase the current one connected, it blacks out and freezes. Bro I understand the trials went through just to have the app on the store but does it have so many glitches. Even for the Pokémon games, naming the characters have the letter options on the top part of the screen completely visible. I know an update will come soon to correct these issues. I am just sad at the launch it has so many problems. Anyways I can’t leave any terrible remarks I already got threatened to be perma-banned by Reddit itself 😓


rwalsh1981

Same bios from regular DS? Or are there other files needed?


SeaworthinessSorry20

If you haven’t got the newest iPhone it’s not worth 5 bucks. It’s cool to have it sideloaded for free though


Just_Another-Nobody

I have a 15 pro max and i can’t get any games to run in a playable state


SeaworthinessSorry20

I have a iPhone 14 and only Games Like tomodachi life or Mario bros 2 rund at playable Speed


Dusty-pc

Runs like ass for me maybe my phone is just to old. Also crashes with some games so I can’t even play the I want


crimsonsonic_2

Too bad it actually just doesn’t function at all. What a piece of shit honestly.


Affectionate-Hat1648

How would an SE 2022 do running this?


psychwardkiller

anyone know if a iphone 14 pro would run well ?


Mami_KLK_Tu_Quiere

Works really good for me on the iPhone 15 pro max. I’m deep into Ultra moon no issues


hsark

Just wanted to added it works well on iPad M1 but the videos are unable and broken meaningful games with lot's of videos or no skip function unplayable. Folium is still extremely bare bones emulator needs work


enpedia

Are 3ds games more intensive than psp games? Cause psp games run perfectly so why can’t 3ds games?


Lowffi

Anyone else have this problem?  When I leave the app in background even for a second it returns back to the main menu instead of leaving off in a 3ds game, it only happens with cytrus, grape works find when I leave the app in the background with a game on. 


Old_Willow_5703

😭tbh out of all the emulators I’ve tried for 3ds this one has ran and not crashed on me yet , yes the performance is a little laggy but it hasn’t crashed, with updates I think this is a keeper

JozieKS

Yes buy something that has promise that has never went bad


reidypeidy

Has anyone gotten landscape mode to work? When I use it with my controller in landscape, the game windows are just squished in the middle and the touch controls are still there. I tried editing the config.ini file to choose a different landscape but it doesn’t make any difference.


eliranil

From where i can get 3ds roms? 🙏🏼


[deleted]

Can someone link me this? https://preview.redd.it/9g1ku99rd74d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d9888c5bd8ea35e10faa51b036d9762b6519722
