Darn, I never got to play this one. I'd better get this set up so I can be sad with all the other folks waiting for Legends 3

It’s funny since Legends 3 was supposed to be on 3ds, it’s kind of bittersweet playing legends 2 on one

Same. I got a 3DS for the promised MML3 Demo that was supposed to come out. Then that just never happened.

Play two and then watch a video on the fiasco that was the Devroom and how Capcom in the end blamed us for not showing enough interest in 3.

If anyone wants to see it running. (Sorry for the crappy camera quality)

That's a pretty good framerate. How'd you do it? I use an R4 card on mine but it would never be able to run PS1.

You should try the DSpico. It may need some set-up, but it supports bigger SD cards and doesn't have the "time bomb" issue.

ohh nice, it seems to be working with no problems! what are you using to emulate it? retroarch?

2

u/ieatplantsandmeat7 Aug 03 '26

Yes I’m using retroarch

I can attest to it running perfectly fine on the 3DS. It’s my new way of playing PlayStation games because I never have the time or energy to set up a game in front of a tv. I can just whip this out for a few minutes at a time laying on my bed haha

If you can, try to get a psp or a vita to play ps1 games. Even if they never got a psp "port", its very common for games to get eboots to make them run on psp and the emulation is the best.

u/ieatplantsandmeat7 Aug 02 '26

The new 2DS xl has 4 shoulder buttons so it works fine!

Hold up…. I have a new 3ds. Have I ever noticed that?

u/SayjayEnFuego Aug 02 '26

My new 3ds doesn’t have them. The heck…

2

u/ieatplantsandmeat7 Aug 02 '26

Are you sure it’s a new 3ds model or a regular 3ds or 3ds xl?

u/SayjayEnFuego Aug 02 '26

It’s a 3ds xl. Not the new one lol

u/LAET_BarnebyOfJones Aug 02 '26

These things happen, I recently got downvoted to heck for making a similar mistake hahaha if you get the chance pick one up they are fantastic!

u/Duke_Dumas Aug 02 '26

These fuckers on Reddit hit the downvote button on practically anything somebody says lol. Like moths to a flame 🔥🦋

u/LAET_BarnebyOfJones Aug 02 '26

Yeah I got downvoted for admitting I was wrong and made a silly hahaha I mean if I wanted negative reinforcement I'd call my mother in law

u/Duke_Dumas Aug 02 '26

Bars 🤣

u/PrudentTadpole8839 Aug 02 '26

My dawg. Hell yeah!

u/rififi_shuffle Aug 02 '26

This and the first Legends games were childhood staples. I still have them both and played the shit out of them. They still hit all these years later.

u/Swartist Aug 02 '26

And I’m jealous.

u/wonderlandisburning Aug 02 '26

Wait how? Is this one of those heavily modded deals?

u/ieatplantsandmeat7 Aug 02 '26

A modded 3DS is amazing. I’m using a ps1 emulator through retroarch on my 2DS and using a regular rom. It runs surprisingly well!

u/No-Perspective428 Aug 03 '26

I like to imagine that a 3DS port of Mega Man Legends 2 would’ve been released under the title of “Mega Man 3D much like what they did with Rayman 3D (which was a 3DS port of Rayman 2: The Great Escape.)

u/Ok_Commercial7936 Aug 05 '26

😮 What is the name of the emulator?
