Manic EMU - Game Emulator 4+

I got this because I seen the pics had 3ds. I didn’t think this would work that well since folium a pay only app didn’t work pretty much at all for the 3 games i tried, but this app actually works and it’s free so that’s a plus. Out of the 3 games i tested for like 5 minutes each only one of them really didn’t have any problems but they did all work unlike folium that didn’t work for any of them.

One of them the touchscreen kept flickering black and making the top screen stuttered but the touchscreen still worked even though it was black if you knew what you were pressing which I really didn’t.

The second one that had a problem of the top screen do a weird stutter go from third person to top down when I would go in fight camera but still playable.

Over all I would say this is still amazing 3ds games still work and it’s free so you won’t lose anything if you’re favorite 3ds game doesn’t work unlike folium and not to mention they have a lot of other emulators on here as well and it’s just so much easier the retroarch that’s just such a maze to figure out. But I’m sure this team will improve on this so I’m very excited to see those problems get fixed!

Alright so someone’s probably gonna see the detail and ask “why isn’t it 5 stars”…2 reasons. I’ve tried all 3 modes and no matter what mode I choose when I play yo Kai watch or Pokemon x (the roms I currently have installed) it works for the main menu and mostly for cutscenes…BUT in yo Kai watch you exit the house there are 2 very noticeable problems. Both the game and audio start to lag. In Pokemon x the same issue occurs during the moment you try to exit the first area tho not as bad as yo Kai watch…with a few minor tweaks to preformance and audio fixing. This app would definitely earn a 5 star from me. Because the lag and audio issues being fixed would be fantastic…now the reason the title says better than the rest is because with folium and provenance aka A literal paid app and a free one. The lag for either or both audio and gameplay is in cutscenes as well. This app also has the slight issue of when In compatibility mode the audio is displaced. But preformance mode fixes that. And quality mode just straight up crashes the app when you try to load a game…so yes it is better then the rest. But it still has problems that need to be fixed

This is the closest to delta for 3Ds I have seen so far. It is very playable and runs fairly well as well as controller support is highly appreciated. The biggest problem I have run into so far is that after certain actions the game doesn’t necessarily freeze but I could not use any inputs and if I did not save recently my progress is lost which is quite annoying I don’t know if it is a format issue or an issue with the emulator but I would very much like to see this fixed, and a much smaller nitpick is that even though I am on a 14 pro I still have some performance issues like laggy inputs and stuttering but this is probably just growing pains until the emulator engine itself is optimized. Overall really good but would love the freezing issue to be fixed. If this is of any help the two formats I am having issues with are .cia and .3Ds keep up the update they are noticed and appreciated
