TL;DR The nascent Tanuki3DS emulator for 3DS games has received a significant update.
This update delivers camera/mic emulation, GPU emulation improvements, and keyboard remapping.
Tanuki3DS isn’t available for Android, but you can try it on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
There are a few nifty Nintendo 3DS emulators on the market, and Tanuki3DS is another promising app for desktop users. The app has steadily made improvements since its initial release, and we’ve now got a big update.
The developer behind Tanuki3DS has released version 0.5 of the emulator, bringing quite a few additions and fixes. Perhaps the most notable addition is camera and microphone emulation. That’s great news for games like Spirit Camera, Face Raiders, and Nintendogs Plus Cats, which all use the camera and/or microphone in some capacity.
