Sorry for mucking about, all i can say is: Who has 2 thumbs and failed his perception check? THIS GUY! *points to my self)

I put a blank SD card in to my 3DS and re-downloaded Shantae so it *should* be the only game/file in the card, from there i will edit the rom as you stated that way it should only take me a few tries to figure out what went wrong if i mess up, and be able to quickly re-download a fresh copy of Shantae again.

Once again, If you do not know what a ROM or EMULATOR or HOMEBREW IS, then is not gonna be any help to you. I dunno what you are thinking or doing but it has nothing to do with what i am telling you. But you are free to do whatever you want to be honest cause i will not stop you if you make errors.
I know ROM is Read Only Memory which in this case is the game in question, Emulator, Emulates an operating system and Homebrew is a program that is capable of hacking in to an existing OS. the only reason im having difficulty understanding is because i am a visual learner and as a result reading things takes longer to process for me.
A rom for a emulator is a Copy of the game in question in the form of a file that is used by computers. Just like when you create a back up of a iso using the cd disc drive to make a iso or BIN/CUE File to use in a Virtual drive emulator or Reburn too a blank cd rom, Roms are used in emulators to play the games on, instead of the actual console is self.
Gameboy color roms use the extention of "Super mario bros. deluxe.GBC" in order to know is a gameboy color rom and will work in gameboy color compatible emulators.
Emulators are programs used to play the roms so you may play the games on, emulators are used mainly on pc computers but can also run on various game consoles using homebrew loaders and other stuff like cellphones and tablets like android and ios systems.
Using a exploit in some games, it is possible to run homebrew launcher to play emulators on nintend 3ds systems that can play these roms without much restrictions to nintendo restrictions.
All games on nintendo eshops are installed using a encrypted data format that is not easily altered unless compressed or some other method is discovered. The files known as cia are how the data to play games on 3ds are stored before extaracting itself on the system and having acces to them. The files are always encrypted and not as easy to alter and is not the common way to mod data.

ok, how about this, lets maybe start from the beginning, let me get this right:
I need a program to extract the ROM from the CIA file, for that i need a program like CTRTOOL?
then take the ROM to the HEX EDITOR and find the line of code that controls the GBC/GBA mode.
Then repack the ROM to CIA and paste it back to the SD card.
Is that about the jist of it?

so i cant use the VC copy i got, i have to find a rom from an emulation site?

Yes, but unless you have a way to install cia files on your system then it won't do much if you cannot install cia files.
Im starting to think that too... I really do try to get games the legit way, and it hurts me inside just as much as it may hurt you guys. but this seems to be my best option at this point.
I threw the game on my Everdrive GB and popped it in a GBA, it went into enhanced mode no problem. Not sure what all that talk was about flash carts not working properly for this sort of thing...
I recommend getting a custom patched rom put into a custom gba cartridge. This etsy seller is happy to produce custom requests. Here is Oracle of ages GBA enhanced version on a GBA cart

Can we cool it with the repros.
Also "custom GBA cartridge" probably just means GBA emulator on a 3 in 1. I don't know what they charge but it is probably more than getting a GBA flash cart.

I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs -
@
Psionic Roshambo:
I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G. -

Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
