i think i helped someone dump eur gba games using FunkyCIA a few months ago... i'll have a look
Do you know any particular reason he hasn't shared the method? I mean, he has stated that he has no problem with people pirating games for older systems on the 3DS, and Nintendo doesn't sell GBA games for the 3DS VC anyway.if you have 4.5, you can use PBT cfw and play pirated gba games like that (dsiware too)
if not, then no, there is no other way to play gba games that are not legit for your system.
we cannot publicly inject our own gba games, i doubt so many people have looked into it because they would only be bootable using PBT.
smea managed it, so it is definitely possible
you cannot play pirated gba games using gw.
only PBT, which is 4.x only.
Smealum made emulation of older systems more accessible on the 3DS via his homebrew launcher, and that's piracy as well. When people brought that up, he basically said "Eh. They're old games, and it probably won't hurt VC sales too much, so it's ok in my book."
ehhh, i don't remember saying that... if you're referring to what i said in that eurogamer article you might want to re-read it because you missed some key points (like, i did say i saw nothing wrong with people emulating old games... if they own the game in question). also, my general answer to people who ask how homebrew is ok since it allows emulators which are often used for piracy is that saying that i'm encouraging piracy through emulation by making homebrew possible is the same as saying that microsoft encourages piracy by letting emulators run on windows, or google on android etc.
i don't own any ambassador titles (having only gotten a 3DS like... 2 years ago ? huh that actually sounds like a lot) so i've never been able to take a look or experiment with them myself, so i'm not an authority on this. however, iirc the idea was that exefs was basically just a GBA rom and the exheader indicated that it should be run with AGB_FIRM. so assuming you have a proper way to boot into AGB_FIRM (not sure if any of the public solutions provide that) and a way to modify ambassador titles' exefs, it should be trivial afaik.Ok, smealum - any pointers with injecting gba games?
Is it basically the same as injecting other vc games? Or is anything really special?
thanks
Oh, my bad, it seems I misremembered. You're right, I just reread that interview and what you said was more along the lines "I don't see a problem with playing ROMs if you own the game" and "The homebrew scene is small, so I don't think emulation on 3DS should significantly hurt VC sales".
Does this cfw has a thread?yes, a 4.5 only cfw has been out for a while (based on the leaked one) called PBT. it boots gba games fine - so i'll have a look at the exefs. thanks
i guessed you had some ambassador titles since i was just going off that picture of pokemon ruby you posted ages ago, at least i think that was you... ha
