===Game Gear===

Currently only possible through [[3DS:Virtual Console/Creation|Virtual Console injects]].

=== Virtual Boy ===

Possible through the PCSX ReARMed core on [[3DS:RetroArch|RetroArch]], with playable speeds on '''New 3DS only'''. A partial compatibility list can be found [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pl2bTkzTe736EOaQjk8FBWY9ixfgoNSYSitbm5Gnyqs/edit#gid=0 here], and optimal configuration can be found [https://www.reddit.com/r/3dshacks/comments/jvkotb/full_speed_psx_finally_here_on_new_3ds_new_2ds_xl/ here].

=== Super NES ===

Possible on both Old and New 3DS using [[udb:3ds/snes9x|Snes9x]], which is optimized so that many SNES games can run well on an Old 3DS. There is also an ~~{{GitHub|matbo87~~/~~snes9x_3ds/releases/latest~~|updated Snes9x fork}} that has extra features such as custom game borders, the ability to play on either screen, an improved cheat menu and more. Additionally, New 3DS users can create [[3DS:Virtual_Console/Creation|Virtual Console injects]] that use Nintendo's official SNES emulator.

===TurboGrafx-16 (PC Engine)===

Possible through [[udb:3ds/temperpce|TemperPCE]], as well as ~~being possible through~~ [[3DS:Virtual Console/Creation|Virtual Console injects]].

Possible through [[udb:3ds/temperpce|TemperPCE]], as well as [[3DS:Virtual Console/Creation|Virtual Console injects]].

=== NES / Famicom Disk System ===

The NES is old enough that all models of the 3DS can run it at full speed. The recommended emulator is [[udb:3ds/virtuanes|VirtuaNES]].<br>

you can also [[3DS:Virtual Console/Creation|create Virtual Console injects]] if you prefer to play your games from the ~~home menu~~.

=== Sega Genesis / CD / 32X / Master System ===

Possible through [[udb:3ds/picodrive|PicoDrive]], covering the Genesis / Mega Drive and its add-ons (the Sega CD and 32X) as well as the Sega Master System. It is apparently reasonably well-optimized for Old 3DS.
