NP2 for 3DS is an emulator for the Japanese NEC PC-9801 series computer. It is a port of Neko Project II v0.86.
Installation
Release contains two versions, NP2 and NP21, both are available in 3DSX/SMDH and CIA formats.
- 3DSX - Copy the .3dsx and .smdh files to the 3ds folder of your SD card.
- CIA - Copy the .cia file to your SD card and install it with a title manager.
Create a folder on the root of your SD card, it can be named either np2 or np21 (depending on the version you are using).
Put ctr_key.txt, font.bpn and disk images on sdmc:/np2/ or sdmc:/np21/.
Additionally, you can use your own biosrom to increase compatibility.
Note: Make sure to have DSP firmware (dspfirm.cdc) installed on your 3DS.
