Loopy, known for creating one of the oldest 3DS capture cards, has recently released a beta version of their software for New 3DS XL capture cards. This software allows users to capture true 3D images, enabling them to play 3DS games in 3D with a VR headset.

Unlike emulation, this setup utilizes real hardware for optimal performance and compatibility. Users can adjust the console’s 3D slider to achieve the perfect three-dimensional effect, as demonstrated by @Akfamilyhome on Twitter.

Could VR be the perfect way to play 3DS games?

Trippy. Saved.

Yes, except I think I'd prefer emulation. I was able to get Dolphin to work in VR and that was wild but quite a bit was broken. Wasn't because of emulation, though, as culling was usually the main issue and emulation was able to fix it.

Except animal crossing, those games take place on a giant cylinder and it's super trippy to see in VR.

True, but there's also just something cool about being able to do it on actual hardware, like that one guy getting VR to work on the N64.

Citra can already be played in VR, this looks a bit unnecessary.

Haven't seen citra in a while. I'll need to take a look.
