Hi, I just have a simple question. I know how to install ROMs of GBA games as virtual console titles on my 3DS, the only thing I want to know is can I do this with any GBA game? Like Metroid Zero Mission for example? What I'm basically asking is does the GBA game have to have been in the 3DS eShop to work? Also, will installing a non eshop GBA game brick my system? Please let me know.

If you use the proper tools you can effectively install any GBA game in existence to it and it should work. Compatibility should be damn near perfect apart from extra stuff like real time clock support and similar. For those games you might want to use a patched rom that works around those limitations.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I thought about that and I have blank DVD's and Blurays but honestly after like 90 songs I just listen to it a couple of hundred times toss it out and burn something else or have like 2-3 CD's. Florida here the heat in the car tends to ruin the CD's after like a few months even commercial pressed ones don't last too long.
