Is there a PC port of

Yes. G-Diffuser 3DS v1.1.0: the F-Zero X decomp ported natively to Old and New 3DS by cruxxxxxx. It's playable now, and it runs natively on PC rather than through an emulator.

Is the F-Zero X PC port an emulator?

No. It's a native build of the game's code for PC (a decompilation, static recompilation or native port), so it runs like a PC game.

F-ZERO X RACES ONTO THE NINTENDO 3DS AS A NATIVE PORT WITH STEREOSCOPIC 3D

Q: Do I need my own copy of

Yes. Your own F-Zero X (USA, rev 0) cartridge dump, a PC with git and Python to prebake the data, and a 3DS that runs homebrew (the .cia build needs Luma3DS and sigpatches). Expansion Kit builds also need your own 64DD disk dump. No game data is included.

G-Diffuser 3DS v1.1.0: the F-Zero X decomp ported natively to Old and New 3DS

cruxxxxxx's G-Diffuser 3DS is a native port of the F-Zero X decompilation to the Old and New Nintendo 3DS, built on the G-Diffuser PC port. It runs with full stereoscopic 3D and full audio, and New 3DS owners can add the 64DD Expansion Kit content streamed from the SD card (experimental on Old 3DS). You run a prebake tool on your PC against your own cartridge dump to make the game data files, so the console never sees the ROM. Builds come as .3dsx for the Homebrew Launcher or .cia for the HOME menu (which needs Luma3DS and sigpatches). Version 1.0.0 arrived on 20 October and 1.1.0 followed on 27 October.
