I have been helping a friend set up an R4i Gold Pro card for his 3DS and am attempting to find out if there is a GBA emulator that will work with it.
Put simply, every place I've looked for this information is a disaster. Please respond with either somewhere to look for this software, an explanation that it isn't possible, or some instructions. I know that seems strict but "You bought the wrong card" and "Go buy this card" answers are completely unhelpful in this scenario, I'm trying to help a less-than-tech-savvy friend with this and I myself am not too experienced with this sort of thing anyhow.
Now for the other thing; I've been using this page (https://www.r43ds.org/pages/3DS-Homebrew.html) to get the software for him as it is the site he bought his R4 from. The GBA emulator it lists immediately downloads the zipped folder with a bunch of files and no explanation. There are a bunch of contradictory 'readme's and HTML files that lead me to believe that it is a labyrinth of other software with Possibly a GBA emulator in there. The only readme that led anywhere attempts to explain the install instructions but begins with "for wood user (v1.45 or newer)". After a half hour of reading into it online I still feel like I have no clue what I am doing or if I should be installing it or what version or anything.
I'm in way over my head here. I was able to get his R4 working and able to play DS, SNES, NES, GB, and GBC roms just fine but this is somehow just beyond me. Any help is appreciated.
