Can the GAMEMT EX8 Run Nintendo 3DS?

Compiled & reviewed by Urs von Gunten, HandheldWiki editorial · How we rate ·

Partly. The GAMEMT EX8 can run Nintendo 3DS, but expect compromises. Lighter games like Pokémon X and Super Mario 3D Land are playable, while demanding titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate will struggle with slowdown. Workable for a patient player, not a flawless experience.

Why Nintendo 3DS is the test: stereoscopic 3D plus two screens; the emulator (Citra/Lime) is heavy and the demanding titles need a fast chip.
