I wish!Exophase is currently working hard on a native 3DS emulator for our Pandora![]()
I wish!Exophase is currently working hard on a native 3DS emulator for our Pandora![]()
I wish!Frankly I doubt the Pandora could handle emulating the 3DS. I mean it has issues with emulating the NDS - which may or may not be fixed if Exophase was minded to throw us an updated DraStic. I'm hearing good things about MelonDS - wondering how this would go on Pandora as a core in Retroarch?
I think Exophase did an incredible job creating DraStic for the Pandora (hint: see my user name!Probably not well. Having moved from my CC Pandora to a Raspi+LibRetro emulators, I was incredibly disappointed at how badly they all perform. Many games that were full speed on the Pandora are stuttering like crazy on the Pi3B+.
I have been checking melonDS for my gpdwin (since drastic is not available on x86 linux).
MelonDS is not as compatible as drastic and performance is way way worse than drastic.
I don't know anything about porting but looking at the GitHub releases page, it appears to me that melonDS is 64 bit based not x86? The latest releases are Linux64 and Windows64.Being a project aimed at x86 don't expect much focus on performance
Well I don't know. It's too early to make a call as to the performance on the Pandora. If I have this clear, you were testing on a different machine (GPD Win v Pandora), different fork (RAs melonDS v melonDS), different OS (Windows v Zaxxon) and different architecture (x86 v ARM).I installed the core using retroarch, it doesn't say which version is but it's automatically updated.
Just warning you that in a device much more powerful than Pandora not even desmume (much more mature than melonDS) is playable. I don't expect any devs to be encouraged on porting desmume or melonDS to Pandora, or even if it's worth on Pyra.
Retroarch is available for Android.Well that depends. They could still choose to make people pay for the android skin.
Use melonDS for now.
