I have the same phone... You are underestimating its power.

Also, dont you just love this phone? So good.

Yup I tried it yesterday it's payable! There are just some audio stutters from time to time! I've played Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Link Between Worlds, FE: Awakening and SMT IV

Yup this phone is wonderful for its price! Running it with a custom ROM right now!

No you'll need to mod the 3DS in some way. There are physical ripping tools for DS games though (I own one)
If you don't mind me asking before I disappear into a Google black hole, is there a current method for modding my 3DS that doesn't require a hard mod? Also, is there any risk of Nintendo flagging my account as a consequence? Because I don't want my Switch NSO account at risk.

CFW is super easy to apply to your 3DS

the 3ds guide site is pretty straight forward with this stuff it's not too difficult.

Comparing it to any other phones out now lol $699 is much cheaper then $1000-1200.

Got my phone on ebay for $35 xD. Just had to fix it. Although even ignoring that Motorola makes some great phones in the $200-$300 price bracket.

Tried out several games and everything, 2D or 3D runs like garbage on my S10+. So I have no use for this at all.

Do you live in the EU ? Samsung phones and tablets in the EU don't use Snapdragon SOC, instead they use their own Exynos which is terrible.
The S10 has the Snapdragon 855, and from videos that i have seen as well as reports on the Citra discord, any device with 855 should be running most games perfectly well

Yes, European S10+.
Is it such a big difference? Wow, and we're paying they same for a phone that's a lot worse, lmao.

Unfortunately the difference is that big, it's why i assumed straight away that you had an Exynos device. I have an S8+ myself.
Dolphin and other emulators run into exactly the same problem.

Here are a couple of examples of what to expect with a Snapdragon 855 device:

I'm a bit sad that I need a 3ds to dump the Roms. Would have bought the Zelda games, but I don't want to buy just a 3ds for this, so the wait for Nintendo putting the games I want in the store for switch continues.
Its really amazing what phones can do nowadays.

so we need at least Snapdragon 855 for full speed? I wonder if they could improve it somehow.

most devices are not that high, performance wise
