  Use MelonDS instead, it's the most recommended DS emulator. Source: 8 months ago

• Pokémon emulators

  You mean emulators running on PC? It took some doing, but I finally got DS Download Play to work on MelonDS. First you need to get DS firmware files. I found one on Retrostic that did not work for me. Melon told me it was an old hacked dump, and trying to boot it just got me a white screen. I found another on the Internet Archive that works.

• I feel like people put down MelonDS too much here

  MelonDS is actually doing a lot of really cool stuff. I can't speak too much on the Android build, but on PC they have actually gotten multiplayer too work flawlessly and they are currently working on implementing netplay. You can keep up with their progress here. Source: 9 months ago

• Rokid Max Review and Many Tips

  Another wonderful option is to play Nintendo 3DS games with the Citra emulator. They look incredible.

  Https://citra-emu.org/ Just typing the console + emulator on any search engine should give u the best option most of the time. Source: 9 months ago

• is citra the best for 3ds emulation?

  It's safe, as long as you download it from the official website (https://citra-emu.org/). I believe that it's no longer necessary to provide original system files from a real 3DS, but it's highly recommended to do so in order to improve accuracy. Source: 10 months ago

• there is the configuration

  "If you experience Pokémon no longer spawning in the open areas after a few minutes of gameplay, disable Extended Memory Layout (8GB DRAM). That option is not intended for normal use, it should only be enabled per game if a big texture mod is in use. It doesn't improve performance or compatibility.

• Ayn Odin or 3DS+PS Vita?

  Just looking at https://citra-emu.org/ and what's working on it so far, it looks like Splinter Cell doesn't work and RE Mercenaries struggles on any system :/. Source: 11 months ago
