I know that English isn't your first language, but I'm having a pretty hard time trying to figure out what you're trying to say for most of this post. I assume you're trying to argue that Nintendo is better of spending their time on making an SNES emulator for Switch instead of putting their efforts in to making a base 3DS emulator today? Of course that's true. Then again, I'm not arguing that Nintendo should do this today, I'm arguing that the could have done it when they were developing the emulator the new 3DS and chose not to. Whether it would take a significant amount of time or effort getting a SNES emulator running on the base 3DS that can play all the games currently available on the N3DS Virtual Console, I'm not about to speculate. It's entirely plausible that the N3DS SNES emulator already works perfectly on the base 3DS for the SNES currently available on the Virtual Console.

And yes, all the SNES games that are currently out for the N3DS Virtual Console are playable on the SNES 9X emulator for the base 3DS at 60fps. I'm not sure what you mean by 3D. These are SNES games. Most of them are 2D. The games on the N3DS Virtual Console aren't 3D games like Star Fox.

I think you know i mean 3D mode, right? When turn 3D on, are they still run perfectly at 60fps? I remember Snes9x emulator still have games run at low speed so no, not all. When they were developing the emulator for the new 3DS it was still a long wait till 2016, 3ds is quite weaker than New 3ds so of course it will take a quite longer time.  2017 we have Switch and SNES VC come out for 3ds in 2017 at the earliest is not worth to spend the time and money to research and optimize

I'm really starting to believe you're having a hard time understanding what I'm saying.

You mean the 3D screen on the 3DS? That actually is controlled by a completely separate part of the console. It has no impact with the ability of the 3DS to play any game. None of the SNES games on the Virtual Console for the 3DS have any type of 3D enhancements. They all run in 2D regardless of how you have your screen set.

As for SNES9X. It is being updated regularly. I provided you a list of game compatibility that actually shows the frame rate for the games as they run on the base 3DS using SNES9X. Over 85% them are emulated perfectly. That includes 60 fps.

And again, I'm not suggesting that IF it would require additonal work to get the SNES emulator to work on the base 3DS they should do that today. But you actually have no grounds claim that Nintendo's current SNES emulator for the New 3DS would not run on the base 3DS. It highly depends on how the emulator is programmed. It's entirely possible would run perfectly well on the base 3DS as is, and you would have to have intimate knowledge on how Nintendo's SNES emulator on the 3DS works to claim otherwise. You simply cannot know the things you are claiming as fact.
