Barely. The BOYHOM R40S struggles with Nintendo 3DS. A few of the lightest titles are tolerable, but most games — certainly The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate — run too slowly to enjoy. If Nintendo 3DS matters to you, look at a stronger device below.
| Nintendo 3DS game | On this device |
|---|---|
| Pokémon X | Choppy but runs |
| Super Mario 3D Land | Choppy but runs |
| Animal Crossing: New Leaf | Choppy but runs |
| The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D | Won't run well |
| Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate | Won't run well |
| Fire Emblem Awakening | Won't run well |
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.
