This is a Virtual Boy emulator for the 3DS, building on what mrdanielps's work on r3Ddragon which itself is based on Reality Boy / Red Dragon by David Tucker. Some games may play samples at an incorrect speed. A compatibility list has been compiled, documenting these issues and any other remaining issues.
Features
- All officially licensed games are playable at full speed, even on the original 3DS.
- 3D support.
- Game saves are supported.
- Map either the A/B buttons or the right D-Pad to the face buttons, with the other being on the touch screen.
- New 3DS C-Stick is also supported (mapped to the right D-Pad).
- Configurable face button mapping.
- Configurable color filter.
Installation
Download the latest release on release page:
- 3DSX - Place in sdmc:/3ds/red-viper/ and use it with the Homebrew Launcher.
- CIA - Installable to the home menu using FBI.
ROMs can be placed in any directory on your SD card of choice.
The emulator will retain the path to the most recently loaded ROM for convenience.
