Homebrew Could we do the same thing with SNES that we do with GBA?

[trashfloozy]

I'm just curious, since the GBA can run beautifully on the 3DS, but to my understanding, the GBA is more powerful than the SNES.

What I mean by my question is how the GBA "VC" works. It loses everything to run the way it does. Could we make an injector that does its job the same way the GBA does?

No, the 3ds does not have SNES hardware, it only has GBA hardware

AH, so it's a hardware thing? Alright, thanks, I was just confused as to why we haven't done it already of it was possible

This will likely be the closest you will get to that, but it's for the NN3DS only:

That's not what we're talking about here

gba emulation works through a built-in gba firmware, so no
