Hopefully this is obvious for anyone stumbling across this excellent video, but the devs for Lime3DS are very active and release new versions all the time. As a result, it is already on version 2113 as of this comment. The devs are talented enough that you should probably just use the latest version, however if you *really* want the 2112 version from this video you can add "/tag/2112" to the end of the url when you get to the releases page, which will point you to a stable page for this exact version to be downloaded.
thank you very much. i was wondering why my computer was running luigis mansion dark moon 2 at 8 fps. like its a kinda a potato but cmon this is a 3ds. you helped me get the fps up. thanks
I have the emulator set up, I just don't know where I can download games................ especially tomodachi life but that don't matter on what specifically I wanna play I need help ! ! ! !
Whenever I try making a lobby for multiplayer, it gives me an error message saying, "Failed to announce the room the public lobby. In order to host a room publicly, you must have a valid Citra account configured in Emulation --> Configure --> Web. Which I did, but when I go to web it doesn't say anything but showing the game in your discord status. Please advise! Thank you.
@@Igor.L yes I did, I tried redownloading it too in case something went wrong or I messed something up, but it still just immediately blanks and says not responding as soon as I open the application :/ I’ve tried running other emulators too for example dolphin and it worked fine so I don’t really understand what I’m doing wrong 😭 thank you for your responses though! Greatly appreciated!
I have the same issue. My GPU is a 1660. . . . could it be an NVIDIA issue? Do we need an openGL.. update or something. though the problem for me may be, my laptop is 8gb ram. I have 3gb free but it may just be I dont have enough for it.
Planning to buy Odin 2 or 3DS Aim to is to play all Pokémon games from GBC to SWITCH (I don’t mine if I get to play from GBC to 3DS) So do you think in the Odin 2, lime3DS can play all 3DS pokemon games like FULLY PLAYABLE without any problems? No choppy audio or stutters or crash? Or you suggest to go with the New 3DS XL and mod it? So what do you suggest with the goal i’m aimming for?
Does Lime3DS also emulate regular DS games like an original 3DS? Or does it only work for 3DS games? I ask because I like the seperate windows option for the top and bottom screen.
I've tried Citra and Lime3DS and both have a problem where it says (not responding) and I can't find a fix for it anywhere. I updated my driver, reinstalled several times, I don't know any other options.
Does anyone know why I get a duplicate game screen? It looks stretched because the same thing comes out twice. I would appreciate it if you could help me solve it

Ive loaded up pokemon ultra sun but the game is practically capped at 50% speed and 15 fps? i try raising the speed of the game to see if it just does half of whatever u set the speed to but it really is capped at 50%, and fps never goes past 15. any answers? ive tried tweaking with some of the "configure" settings in Lime but still no luck.
I downloaded Lime3ds and im trying to run the gui file but it doesnt run or do anything. it simply gives the windows defender message, then does nothing.
i got Lime up and running but when i attempt to add my game it won't open? like it made a folder for it named "Pokemon Heartgold" and everything but when i attempt to open the game nothing happens
Now I haven't even watched the full video but assuming this is a 3ds emulator and you have a ds game, heart gold, as the folder. You are probably trying to play a ds game , which you use desmume for instead.
i got the type reccomended in this video and for some reason it ONLY displays japanese?? if anyone has any tips on how to change the language i'd really appreciate it :)
it's " + " to increase the speed and " - " to decrease it, you can see the keybind if you do "emulation" -> "'controls" -> "hotkey" (you find the hotkey section on the upper part of the window) i hope it could help you

If anyone is having a problem with the "lime3ds-gui" app is not working, it's because you have to install the msys2, not the msvc zip file.

how do you turn the compressed file into a 7-zip file
it keeps coming out as a normal compressed file so i cant extract it like you can
When you install 7zip it associates the zipped files to 7zip www.7-zip.org/
As soon as I double click ont the game, it closes automatically after 3 seconds again. Any idea?
download an older version and it should work
