The full story
PicoDrive 3D is a fork of bubble2k16's PicoDrive emulator for the 3DS that plays Sega Mega Drive and Master System games with adjustable dual-layer stereoscopic 3D. The maker, ZENIX, built it because similar 3D forks existed for the SNES and Game Boy Advance but not for Sega's consoles.
The maker says it was made with heavy help from Claude Code in an afternoon and calls it very experimental. It has only been tested on an Old Nintendo 3DS, where the maker reports everything runs. Sega CD and 32X are not supported.
After a reply in the thread, the maker said they would add to the description which parts they debugged and which Claude wrote.
