How to use
You need a way to run ARM11 userland homebrew on your 3DS.
Gateway
Copy blargSnes.3ds to the Gateway's MicroSD.
Due to limitations, you will not get sound if you use this method.
Homebrew Launcher / Ninjhax
Copy the blargSnes folder into the 3ds folder on your SD card.
Due to limitations, you will not get sound if you use this method on a New 3DS. 'Old' 3DS users will get sound.
Also note that sleep mode (closing your 3DS) and the Home button don't work when using this method.
CIA
The method for using the CIA version will not be covered here because installation of CIA files involves warez.
However, the CIA version gives you the best of all worlds-- sound AND working sleep mode on all systems, provided you're able to install and run it.
You will need either a Gateway or a CFW to be able to run unsigned CIA files. The normal Home menu will show them but will refuse to launch them.
On the 3DS's SD card (not the Gateway MicroSD), create a folder named 'snes' and put your SNES ROMs in there.
In the same folder, you can also place savegames. They must have the same name as their corresponding ROM, and have a .srm extension.
With that done, start blargSnes, and you see a ROM selection menu. Select your ROM and press A (or B). See what happens.
You can pause gameplay by tapping the touchscreen. When paused, resume by pressing A or tapping the touchscreen again. You can also select another game by pressing Select, or open t
