This is a port of the Game & Watch emulator from RetroArch. The Game & Watch brand is a series of handheld electronic games developed, manufactured, released, and marketed by Nintendo from 1980 to 1991.

Installation

Copy the gw folder to the 3ds folder of your SD card.

You can put the roms (.mgw) wherever you want.

Then start the application from the Homebrew Launcher.

User guide

You can find Game & Watch roms from the RetroArch's assets page.

Note that GW games use a hardcoded border to look like the handheld system, which means a lot of games will be cropped out on the 3DS's screen.

In that case you can use the zoom option (should be supported by most, if not all, games).

D-Pad - Navigate

A - Confirm

B - Go back

Game & Watch:

-So I compiled the Game &amp; Watch emulator from RetroArch and thought I would share it with you guys!
+==Installation==
+Copy the gw folder to the 3ds folder of your SD card.
-Note that the games use a hardcoded border that look like the handheld system. That means a lot of the ROMs are nearly impossible to use with the border. Fortunately, many (all?) of them support zooming in on the display by pressing select.
+You can put the roms (.mgw) wherever you want.
-I've tested it on my N3DS and get 60 fps! Hopefully someone with an o3DS can test for us :)
+Then start the application from the Homebrew Launcher.
-Get your ROMs [http://buildbot.libretro.com/assets/cores/gw/ here]! This is supported by RetroArch and I think public domain!

-Note: I plan on submitting my changes to RetroArch later (they were minimal, tbh) but I thought I would make a thread in the meantime. Also, I compiled a few more emulators such as fmsx, vecx, and a few others. RetroArch is so well architected it's unbelievable. Also, for some reason the cia wouldn't compile properly. Sorry, guys.
