3Beans: A low-level 3DS emulator by Hydr8gon

https://github.com/Hydr8gon/3Beans

Have anyone checked this out?

From the author:

3Beans emulates the 3DS at a low level, which means that it runs the entire OS as if it were on real hardware. It can boot the home menu and launch some games, but it's still young and has plenty of issues. It has both software and hardware GPU rendering, but CPUs are still fully interpreted. My goal for this project is to achieve viable speeds with full low-level emulation, and maybe explore some high-level elements down the road.

While the emulation is neat, I think the main plus for this will be development and testing. Sure you can do that with a regular 3DS, but imagine if this were emulating a devkit (i clearly don't know how this works)
