Remove bundled emulators for the 3DS where there exists a better option

[lifehackerhansol]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. This is specific to the 3DS. There isn't much one can do with a DSi with this.

The 3DS already has its fair share of emulators, notably snes9x, VirtuaNES, GBC, etc. If a well-known emulator exists for the console, I do not think this is required to be added to TWiLight for 3DS.

Known game loaders that are bundled in TWiLight but have a better 3DS alternative:

• NES: VirtuaNES
• SNES: snes9x
• GBA: open_agb_firm
• Mega Drive: PicoDrive 3DS
• PC Engine: TemperPCE
• Atari 5200: Atari800

All of which are available on Universal-DB. (While GameYob has a 3DS version, I do not consider this to be stable enough in 3DS mode to be recommended for removal.)

Describe the solution you'd like Take note of emulators that already have a 3DS-mode alternative, and remove them from the 3DS install package.

Describe alternatives you've considered The only other one I can think of is having some sort of auto-package website where you can select what you want. This idea was brought up at one point over on Discord but nothing came out of it.

Will it then be possible to launch the emulators installed on the 3DS from TWL++ instead of the emulators included with TWL++?

[lifehackerhansol]

I don't think that's possible, even with RTcom.

I think the best alternative for people who want to load emus from TWiLight's UI for whatever reason should add them manually, I don't like the idea of it being bundled by default when there are obvious better alternatives that take full use of the 3DS hardware.

It would at least be an improvement if the emulators were downloadable in a separate package instead of the 3DS TWL++ package. What do you think about that?

[Kaisaan]

You could just use Universal-Updater for that.

[lifehackerhansol]

Funny enough, Universal Updater didn't even cross my mind until @Kaisaan mentioned that. That is a perfect solution for a separate package.

I am aware of the issue. I wanted a separate one solely for the emulators, while that issue deals with other general things.
