SMA3:YI is probably the worst offender of this, and the injects themselves are a bit washed out, making them more susceptible to the ghosting, imo.
hehe, thats actually the only game that I have noticed ghostning. But I play Yoshis Island in fullspeed on PocketSNES. So I dont bother the downscaled gba version ;)

they fixed that and also the Real TIme Clock works (theres a patching method for the roms)
well I read that AGB_FIRM was supposed to be patched, but then I found out it was only for new3ds after I patched it, so would I have to download the original and install it to sysnand again?

also, I tried to make a pokemon emerald .cia and apparently only certain dumps of the game work. Mine didn't, so I had to stick with gpsp. Any help?

I go with emulation, but I've never tried VC injection. Mostly because I have gamesaves from other emulators that I wanted to continue on my n3ds and I'm unaware if its possible to import those to a VC version.

Is there a tutorial on how to do virtual console emulation?
I would like to try out the other method instead of RetroArch but I don't know where to start?

I love AGB FIRM i always hated the emulstors for bad sound quality, and just really having a sickly looking presentation tbh :S
Anyone else agree?

I've installed yesterday a couple of GBA games and they're working flawlessly! (Except for the blur effect of some games, which isn't that annoying when you get used to it).

Now I'm installing a bunch of them and I'm afraid to reach the 300 title limit :P

I tried doing the AGB_FIRM inject method just to test and one of my games refuses to convert. Looks like I'm sticking to emulation.

What game is it? If you want you can shoot me a request over at my thread at the ISO site and I could give it a shot.

    I mean built in sound on mobo's has gotten way better but still XP handled sound better and X-Fi was still better than onboard audio even to this day
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Hell not sure what was going on but for like a few weeks MP3's sounded muffled, some driver or Windows update fixed it. Thank god lol

    Oh boy Massdrop has $1100 IEMs. Want, but not at that price lmao. https://drop.com/buy/campfire-audio-andromeda-emerald-sea-iem

    I'd sooner buy the Meze 109 Pro if I was dropping that much on headphones. I don't even like buds/IEMs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I got the Google Pixel Pro buds, they're good enough for when I need portable audio. And some really cheap IEMs that Dankpods recommends, I think the KZ ZSN Pro

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'd stick with cheapo Chinese $10 ones quality is actually becoming on pair with name brand since name Brand usually quads the price up anyway loose one bud that's another $200
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My Pixel Pro buds shit the bed a month or two ago. My wireless charger (which they do support Qi charging) absolutely COOKED them. Caused some problem that caused the case to heat up to 180F+
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    They were like 9 months out of warranty but I hit up Google support anyway and told them how hot they were getting and they replaced them with new ones because they wanted these for failure analysis lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol wireless charging
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why I can't bring myself to even spend $100 on wireless earbuds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it's a cool idea but damn
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Apparently the case has a problem with >15W wireless chargers. Google design fault, that one.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I could live with wireless charging if the damn standard case doesn't block connection
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    how is wireless charging possible?

    you mean generally, how does the concept work?

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Copper conducting electricity or something
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Xdqwerty, power through a coil of wire causes an electromagnetic field to be generated. Another coil of wire can be set up to harness the power from that electromagnetic field and turn it into usable energy for charging a device
