Retroarch 3Ds - Gamebrew

RetroArch is a free, open-source and cross-platform front-end for emulators, game engines, video games, media players and other applications. It is the reference implementation of the libretro API, designed to be fast, lightweight, portable and without dependencies.

It enables you to run classic games on a wide range of computers and consoles through its slick graphical interface. Settings are also unified so configuration is done once and for all, with advanced features like shaders, netplay, rewinding, next-frame response times, runahead.

• Consistency across multiple platforms (same UI structure and a fully featured command line interface).
• Gamepad controlled menu system with multiple styles available, such as XMB or Material UI.
• Gamepad auto-configuration profiles, so that gamepads are mapped automatically when connected.
• Per-core and per-game configuration overrides.
• Custom resolution and refresh rate for video output, with exclusive fullscreen mode and monitor index for multi-monitor setups.
• Dynamic rate control for smooth audio and video, even when the game's output rate is different from your system.
• Basic fast forward, SRAM saving, savestate, etc. It supports serialization of the emulation state which is used to provide real-time rewind and netplay.
• Pixel shaders, primarily using Cg and GLSL, with HLSL on Xbox 360.
• Supports audio DSP filter plugins through .dsp configuration files.
• Custom overlay support.
• FFmpeg recording and playback support.
• Streaming support.
• GGPO-like netplay (latency hiding rollback).
• Options for decreasing input latency related to vsync by eliminating buffering by the video driver, as well as using frame delay to delay polling of inputs until right before a vsync occurs on the display.
• Run-ahead to reduce latency.
