When will it come out for PC. Any ideas? It has already been 2 years since its release. Even NDS emulator came early after its original launch, so why not this one. I'm dying to play new pokemon games of it, please let me know if anybody of you knows about its downloading links coz I have been doing it for a long time and each and everyone of them is fake. Either asks survey before downloading or fake BIOS after it.XD

Chances are u will never get it. Nintendo is tightening its belt because of its new console supposedly working with multiple platforms. Last i heard they already took down the android GBA emulators and roms

Do not EVER call GBA boring! Also, I still see GBA emulators on the Play Store, Roms can come through other means. Also, 3DS Emulators will take at the very least two or three more years, maybe they might not even come at all.

GBA is too boring besides pokemon none of the games are interesting. In fact VBA is better than it. You can at least put cheats and other stuff in it. 3DS will surely com but ya it can take time.

:| Likely not for while considering the 3DS' relatively short lifetime.

Also comparing something like the N64 to the 3DS is sort of an apt comparison to me for a couple reasons:

1. The 3DS is a handheld while the N64 is a console. And traditionally, being that consoles hold more vague similarities with PCs than handhelds, they are most of the time much easier to work with than handhelds.

2. The N64 and the 3DS are several console generations apart. It's no surprise that technology is constantly evolving and growing complex. It's no exaggeration that the 3DS is many leagues ahead of the N64 in terms of hardware. Comparing the two is difficult because they do not match technologically.

3. Console emulation is not a universal wave. The pretty picture of emulating is that every console game will come flooding into PC the moment that said console generation is over. This is simply not true. Different console get emulated at different times, some take a few months, some take a few years, and a spare few take several console generations. Some consoles can't even get emulated at all, take the original Xbox which to this day has not had a successful and fine tuned emulator while in contrast the PS2, a console released at the same time, which had a emulator developed a short time later.

4. Nintendo has arguably gotten more protective of its property in recent years. It doesn't take a historian to see that a lot of mediocre third party games and absolute crap was easily released in the N64 and previous console generations (take one good look at retro video game reviewers such as AVGN and JonTron for proof). While I'm not saying that current consoles are immune to crap, be it games or gamers (I've seen my fair share), I am implying that corporations (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo) are much more careful and protective of their big black boxes than in the past.

I'm not saying a 3DS emulation is impossible. I saying that too much is in the way of an emulation happening in the near future with all the varying and occasionally incompatible technology, hawk-eyed and ruthless corporations, and the continuous changes in the gaming industry.

But that's just one man's two cents :p

I think the 3DS lifetime is going to be pretty long seeing how they just announced the NEW 3DS a while ago. I see it lasting for a few more years (around 3-4).

OT: Not very likely to happen.

Citra is moving with leaps and bounds.
Here:-


The biggest problems were the GPU and AES encryption as the CPU is ARM which is widely documented.
>Many workarounds have been found for GPU
>AES keys were leaked last year.

We still are an year from commercial emulation though.
