Snes9x for Old 3DS / 2DS Version 1.30 Released (24 Mar 2018)
Snes9x for 3DS is an SNES emulator for your old 3DS / 2DS. It runs many games at full speed (60 fps). It supports games that use CX4 chip (Megaman X2/X3), the SDD-1 chip (Star Ocean, Super Street Fighter 2 Alpha), DSP chip (Super Mario Kart). It also runs games that use the SA-1 chip (Super Mario RPG, Kirby's Dreamland), SuperFX chip (Yoshi's Island, Star Fox etc) but these games run with plenty of frame drops. It has a much high compatibility than existing SNES emulators on the 3DS because it uses Snes9x 1.43 as a base, and is a good alternative if your existing emulators cannot play all the games.
It also runs better on the New 3DS. Games that slow on the Old 3DS will benefit from the higher clock speed that the New 3DS offers! (In some New 3DS set ups you may have to manually force the clock speed up to enjoy the performance boost)

Features:
1. Graphic modes 0 - 7.
2. Save states of up to 4 slots.
3. Uses CSND for audio.
4. Frame skipping
5. Full screen
6. SDD1 chip (Star Ocean, Super Street Fighter 2 Alpha works)
7. DSP-1 (Pilotwings works well / Super Mario Kart / Ace o Nerae)
8. CX4 (Megaman X2/X3 runs well)
9. SA-1 (Super Mario RPG, Kirby Dreamland: slow on old 3DS. runs well on new 3DS)
10. SuperFX (Yoshi's Island: slow on old 3DS. runs well on new 3DS)
11. Runs faster on new 3DS.
Not Available / Problematic:
1. Minor sound issues.
2. Mosaic effect and mid-frame palette update problems - we use the 3DS hardware for speed; but we have to give up these two features for it. Most games work well without it. If you game's colours look funny, go to the Settings and try changing the palette options.
3. Resume from sleep mode
