The games were recompiled to DSiWare.

No commercial games other than ones Nintendo release will EVER WORK.

Unlike the DS game, which is just the source code of the DS game recompiled as DSiWare, the GBA is an actual emulator (the virtual console) and we just essentially figured out how to make the emulator load different roms.

The Ambassador GBA games are actually not emulation, the 3DS has the GBA hardware built in to it; the only thing being "emulated" on the the 3DS is the GBA cart slot; GBA games are so small that the 3DS likely loads them entirely into RAM before running them, like emulators would, but the ARM7 CPU and (probably? Not sure if WulfyStylez ever confirmed it) GBA PPU are all there in silicon. If you meant the crap "beta" GBA emulator that's built into the GBC/NES/etc. emulators, then yeah, that was right.

I said essentially for a reason :)

Advanced Wars: Days of Ruin is 39 MB. DSiWare limit is 64 MB.

Injecting non-dsiware onto a DSi doesn't work.
but you just said it was dsiware.. Am I missing something?

Also there's not GBA emulation involved with VC ambassador GBA games, the DS uses the whole GBA processor as sound chip and DS hardware is still on the 3ds, it's running natively, no emulation.

apparently 3ds GBC VC is a gba emulator but is too slow on 3ds.

Esit : beaten to it^^

It does emulate the gba card slot though, which is what we figured out how to load different roms for.

Sorry, I misunderstood you. I do not know if anyone has injected the 3ds versions of Advanced Wars and Wario Ware onto a DSi.

You can play carts from EmuNAND.

And if you set up a9lh you can only have SysNAND and not need to worry about EmuNAND :P
I want to swap my emunand and get rid of the emunand partition but im getting mixed tutorials one says just back it up and inject it with otphelper and another gives a more complex way to do it. im not wanting to a9lh again so im still using emunand.
