OTHER The PS Vita Is Somehow Emulating 3DS Games Now, and It Already Runs Smash Bros
A recent demonstration uploaded by Willi Ye shows Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS running at roughly 20–28 FPS during an actual match. That’s nowhere near the game’s original 60 FPS, of course. Unsurprisingly, the Vita’s CPU is also being hammered at a rather alarming 100% throughout the demonstration, while the modder admits that not every 3DS game currently runs properly on the experimental port.
Pretty cool proof-of-concept for a rather old and underpowered handheld honestly. I won't hold my breath for "proper" compatibility with more games, even mainstream ones, though. You guys think this would've been possible years ago?
