Description
In the "Power Management" settings you should be able to
"disable L2 cache"
and "set clock rate to 268MHz"
these are speeds that the old 3DS can run nes cores and Gameboy and so on just fine at full speeds.
witch the n3DS should not have to be wasting power and battery life if you choose to disable this.
and retroarch does auto turn these new3ds settings on by default every time you load the app
FAQ: Why not just disable it every time you start retroarch in the Luma 3ds bottom screen menus?
A: Cause you can save these configurations for games and cores with "overrides" And thats annoying if you want to just save power on long trips playing NES games!

Research direction

Trace how those settings interact with per-game and core overrides, then verify that users can save the requested options for NES or Game Boy play without changing override behavior.
