3DS Emulator Request

Can Someone make a 3DS Emulator that also plays regular DS roms?

There isn't even a 3ds emulator for pc so don't count on getting one on bb10.

What about a regular DS one?

Anyone know? It seems like a DS emulator would work... split the screen in two for the two screens. I'd love some Ace Attorney on the Z10.

As far as I can tell there's only one NDS emulator that has been open sourced, and it appears to have some problems. For any of the emulators which haven't been open sourced, you'll have to contact the developers who make them and try to convince them to port it to BB10, but don't bother because they very probably won't.

Wait until the NDS emulator for Android gets a dynamic recompiler. Then we'll talk.

There is a very nice one being developed for the Pandora from scratch, dynamic recompiler and all. Closed source currently though.

Emulating a game console, whether handheld or a normal console, is not an easy task by any means, especially when the original manufacturers keep things closed source. To this day, not a single emulator can come close to the perfect, near-100% compatibility achieved by the N64, PS1, and GBA emulators. You have to remember that these things are being developed by hobbyists entirely from scratch. Not to say that their work isn't brilliant, but they can only do so much without access to original source code for those consoles.

Besides, I think most games for the DS or 3DS would be terrible on a device that doesn't have hard buttons (especially shoulder triggers).
