Pick 3Beans if…

3Beans may suit users with a homebrew-enabled physical 3DS who can provide the required system files and encrypted game dumps. It is also relevant to people willing to try an early emulator and report issues or feedback.

Pick LunaDS if…

LunaDS suits iPhone and iPad users who want to play DS, DSi, or 3DS games and can supply their own legally obtained backups and BIOS files.
