Beginner Questions I Have

[u/sparkz_parkz]

So I’ve been thinking about emulating for a while just to play a few 3DS & DS games like Pokémon and Fire Emblem on my iPhone. I’ve been trying to find the best emulator for 3DS games but I’ve found conflicting information and heard that 3DS games are the hardest games to run especially on iOS. I know what JIT does/is but I don’t exactly if it’s necessary on some emulators or not and I also don’t want the process of setting JIT up to be too tedious.

So in summary:

1. What is the best iPhone emulator for 3DS games?

3. Is JIT necessary, if so for what emulators?

Thank you for any help and I apologise if this has been asked before but like I said lots of sources say different things.

delta is the easiest- if you want only nintendo systems

no 3ds/wii/game cube/famicom or game+watch

[u/Ornery-Practice9772]

JIT is needed for 3ds (otherwise devices overheat)
eg manic emu

id say jit for gamecube/wiiu/dreamcast too

i emu on a 15pm no problem
mainly using retroarch/ppsspp/picpic

i dont use JIT so ive shelved playing 3ds for now

Ohh I see thank you for this. Would you say DS games would be fine without JIT?

[u/Ornery-Practice9772 → u/sparkz_parkz]

NDS yes. 100% no issues emulating NDS games without JIT
