Years later, but thank you very much. it has been a long time since I thought that was not possible to play any Snes rom on the old 3DS, but your video was really useful. Once again, thank you very much, James.
Nice video it’s nice to launch games right from the main menu of 2DS/3DS awesome tutorial cheers hopefully this still works now in 2020 I just recently picked up a 2DS and plan on modding it with custom firmware it’s nice getting the most out of our older video game devices.
So basically there's an issue where it doesn't save and when I exit the game it just resets so I've been keeping my 3ds in sleep mode every time I stop playing. I don't wanna lose my progress in earthbound because I'm pretty far in it now
This doesn't work for me. When I get to the prompt after clicking on "make_snes.blarg" the program just closes itself the moment I press enter after copying the game name. I've followed the instructions to the letter and still it doesn't work.
this happened to me. I fixed by changing the name of my rom and folder. my rom originally had "(USA)" at the end but once I got rid of that part it worked
Everytime I hit the home button when I'm done playing a snes game it says, An error has occurred forcing the software to close and it's really annoying and it doesn't save my game and the save states don't work so nothing gets saved
This all worked fine, however whenever I try to suspend a game, it says "The software was closed to an error and the system will restart." and the system restarts. Is there anything I can do to fix this? i dint really like restarting my 2ds everytime I try to exit a game.
The file name must contain only letters and numbers. If is there something like (USA), just delete that. Example: Super mario world (USA) > Super mario world.
Hi, question 07/20/19: my games aren't saving, neither the save slots are working. how can I fix this, I see this is a recurrent question throughout the comment section. Thanks
Had some trouble with this method! Tried the "New Super Ultimate Injector for 3DS" and it works great! Even auto downloads the images! Maybe an updated video?
Same thing happend to me. Make sure the rom file, and folder have no special characters like [!] Or *U* . For example. If its called "Mario all-stars [!] . " Rename it to "Mario all stars" And copy and paste that from the rom name to the file and it should work. It fixed the issue for me. Hope this helps 👍

Thank you very much, I managed to make the roms but every time I get out of one of them the console restarts ... I could have done something wrong or is it normal! Thanks for answering...
this tutorial is amazing! used it to install dragon quest 1&2 for the snes, and it runs flawlessly! one problem though, when i close out of the game, it crashes. any fix?
@@iRemainNameless 03:05 Blarg and Sne9x are two different emulators. I didn't ever use them, but I guess Blarg works better as other comments said so. Also look into a program called New Super Ultimate Injector for 3DS. I like it a lot.
if this keeps happening try to rename the rom and the folder something simple without any spaces and try it again fam(unless you already fixed it then im useless at this point lol)
Do you have any fix for the save? I can’t seem to save a snes game in game or through the save states if I go to 3DS Save state it just crashes and never saves anything
You wouldn't happen to know why I can't save my files or use save states would you? Do I need to manually create a save file directory? None of my games are saving that I've tried
I'm trying to play super metroid and it keeps crashing and rebooting my new 2ds, But TMNT TiT plays fine. is it Super metoid's file (it plays fine on my zsnes emulator)

This half works for me. I can get FE4, super mario rpg, yoshi's island, all to play but none of them save. trying to close the software after it starts also crashes the 3ds and causes it to force reset.
Trying to play FE5 with the translation patch on a Old 3DS. The OldSNES thing works, but it also can't save state or regular save. Someone said to use the make_blarg.bat thing, it fixed the save state, but the text is all messed up and it crashes at the start of the chapter.
@@Hambs23 sorry this is a bit late but I think i just resolved to play SNES games in the emulator through homebrew channel instead of tryna inject em on my main menu. It's a Lot easier just wish I could launch from main menu.
@@rune4543 You rekindled my interest on this. I've heard somewhere that SNES9x had the best compatibility with Old 3DS' and 2DS' software. So I downloaded the latest version of the emulator from their Git Hub and voilà, it worked perfectly, including the ability to save and use save states. I did this just now, so I didn't test a lot and also didn't try out your suggestion (sorry for that), but it seems to have no problems at least with FE Thracia. Maybe if something goes wrong I'll try other solutions, for now SNES9x is easy to install and use and it works.
A Easier Way: Step1: Get A SNES Emulator (.3dsx file) Step2: Download A SNES (Like Earthbound) (Put It Anywhere In The SD Card) Stpe3: Put The .3dsx File In The 3ds Folder Step4: Go To The Homebrew Launcher Step5: Load The SNES .3dsx File, And Have Fun! See The Easier Way!
Interesting,now you no longer need to download buy those games from the eshop,and since nintendo has already closed down their eshop on both the dsi and 3DS systems,they wouldn’t win or loose many anyway by doing such conversions of your snes games,brilliant🙏👍
I've run into an interesting issue where when I go to the menu and select the option to Exit emulation, it crashes the game and says that the system needs to reboot. Same things when I hit the home button. Any idea why that might be happening? Other than that issue I've had, this guide was spot on, thank you!
Error: Icon image not found But I did put an oficial image, and renamed it to icon.jpg What could be going wrong? I did everything according to the video
Running European roms at 60fps gives a constant framerate better then running the USA roms at 60 but the music runs at 70fps on the European rom so if only the music could be run at 40fps on the Europe rom so it runs nicely when the rom it ran at 60fps. Yea
@@Perry135 how did you fix it? that happens to me two the command promp just coles. edit: I removed the (japan, usa) from the title and now it doesn't close directly but after pressing enter the cia doesn't appear in the cia folder.
Nice tutorial but a problem came up while I was doing this. I was on the cmd and pasted the name of the game. You then say to press enter but when I do that it just closes cmd. I desperately need help from anyone.
you have to copy the name of the folder with the rom and the images into the snes9x.bat. if that doesnt work then rename the folder something simple. i had the same issue and i fixed it.
The games seem to run fine but I get no audio no matter what I do. The only audio the emits is when I put in headphones and it's just an ear piercing screech.
If there a super nintendo game with the fille name ending with .fig just change the name to .smcs like in the video and already test it and it work the only problem are the banner's and the exiting of the game just crack you console and it restar to normal but don't need to worry your save slots files they are safe. Hopefully in the future they updated a little bit to fix those little problems and it's good to go 👍
Thanks for the tutorial! But how do you save games? I got earthbound to work but when ever i try to save the game and exit the game to come back to later my save data isnt there? Do i need to make a specific save folder?
I followed the guide, but when I tried opening the game after downloading it from fbi; it says error, new 3ds program. Im downloading on an old 3ds xl. Anyone have this problem?
Hey I couldnt save on version 1.00 so what i did to fix this problem was i made a new folder in the root of my sd card titled it Snes then I dragged my snesx9 into it then inside the snes folder I made a new folder named Saves and now the save states work
I tried to download earthbound and when I open the game it just doesn’t load and when I try to close it I get “an error has Occurred forcing the software to close The system will now restart”
Wow, now this is something I didn't expect to see today. Nice job!
