Hey firstly i wanna thank all of the gbatemp staff for this awesome forum!
I just need a little help playing gba games on my luma cfw because it gives me an error after i install .cia vc gba games via FBI telling me to turn off the system and turn it on again
I read on the internet that you need the game installed on both sys and emu nands but when installing luma cfw i did not backup/ restore the sysnand so i only run emunand now so can anybody tell me a way to play my favorite gba games pleaseee

Not possible. They have to be installed to both. Install A9LH if you don't want to deal with that.
If you already have A9LH, and have deleted your EmuNAND, you will save memory space by only having to install GBA games and DSiWare once rather than twice since SysNAND will now be your main NAND.

OP, if you have an N3DS you can use mGBA/Retroarch it's better than the GBA VC.

if you have an O3DS then YEa deal w/ A9LH and move to an Sysnand setup it'll save you headaches.

GBA VC runs at full speed so there's no point in switching to mGBA/RetroArch. In fact, GBA emulation with mGBA/RetroArch can have a few issues and GBA VC runs smooth without any issues so far because it uses the GBA's firmware and hardware simulation to play games natively.

for the games the OP may likely be after playing this could be a better solution for one sin the Compatability list. granted not every game runs 100%. and if they have an O3DS thsi is simply not a solution at all (tooo many run slow dont work glitch out etc.)

Is there a way we can talk in private
if its about how to Switch to A9LH theres the Holy bible~~ERRR, Noob Proof Guide, https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki
if its to ask sayfor a games Rom/CIA that i cant help w/

Wait, I've been playing a ton of Gba games on my Emunand. Now that I have A9LH on my N3ds, will I lose my Gba Vc (and Dsiware) save data by transferring my emunand into my sysnand?

Yes. GBA save data is stored in the sysNAND. You can use Decrypt9 to export the saves and then re-import them after you've cloned your emuNAND to sysNAND.

Ok, thanks! I was kinda confused on how to get my save files for those games previously...

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
