Yeah it still has a way to go but it's getting there bit by bit.

Oh absolutely, I didn't mean to offend anyone it's great but I prefer the native for now... They ability to not remap the abxy was a stupid idea on the ds lite though.. I've bought a couple of destroyed ds lite and I'm going to hardmod them to swap the buttons around so I can geek out to Mario and have it feel how it's a little more natural.

This is a GBA emulator for DS mode, not 3DS mode. If you want GBA emulation, either wait for a proper homebrew one or use a SuperCard DSTwo.

The blue card GBA emulator seems to work fine on my 3DS XL. I tried a few games. Has anyone tried it on an el cheapo R4I 3DS? Currently MUCH cheaper than DSTWO.

What is the blue card? Surely, Gateway did not create yet another DS flashcart from scratch?

What is the point in a homebrew GBA emulator for 3DS? Convenience of not having to reboot? It sounds like a lot of work...I mean to get it to look really nice and make full use of the 3DS screen. This blue card thing or DSTWO/TempGBA is just about perfect at least on the games I play.

btw, Is there a good NON-DSTWO-REQUIRING SNES emulator? I remember trying SnemulDS and it was not all that bad but I kept having to horse around with the video cropping b/c SNES screen resolution is slightly too high for DS.

the bluecard is just a clone of another card and I have tried the emulator yeah its very bad. a homebrew GBA emulator would definitely be better as your aren't locked in to the DS mode and 3DS mode is more powerful so it can get better emulation(correct me if I am wrong :P)

That's what I'm wanting to know: Which card is it a clone/copy/rebadge of?

What's wrong with the blue card GBA emulator? Which games did you try? With new presumably good R4i for 3DS (DS mode) half the price of a DSTWO, I think this emulator is worth looking into.


Sure, a real 3DS GBA FULLSCREEN emulator would be great!

I just worry that a NICE, fullscreen, complete with cheats and RTS, GBA emulator on this uh "more powerful" 3DS hardware which is very different from what has come before, will require substantial effort and game testing by a "real programmer, LOL" yet likely bring no reward besides warm feelings and kudos from strangers. I'm not holding my breath waiting.

Some R4I clone
Audio is really bad on certain games and the pokemons and megamans a few other less known ones is just painful either they work slightly then crash or painfully slow.
Your last sentence is painfully dull and I don't really understand what you are actually trying to say all the random quotes and boldness everywhere. I wouldn't want to annoy a gateway fanboy here ;) :rofl:

    @_Ruri_, I'd rather give up
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Xdqwerty, I guess. No places that sell screwdrivers around?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, not that I remember
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Oof. Maybe supermarkets sell them?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, mmaybe
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    They should be pretty common screwdrivers so there's a chance
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Don't know about the tri-wing screwdrivers though
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    They're basically Nintendo exclusive from what I know so no chance you're gonna find them in random physical stores
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    The normal cross ones you could though so you can probably take out the back cover
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @_Ruri_, they don't seem to be tri wing screws
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    @Xdqwerty, You could have a chance to take out at least the back cover then

    Dunno about the insides though, never disassembled a 3ds
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Try checking out the iFixit guides

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Huh according to the iFixit guides it doesn't seem like you need tri wing screwdrivers to disassemble the insides
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    That's pretty good news

  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    Rest are standard Philips screwdrivers
  • _Ruri_ @ _Ruri_:
    And various spudgers but you could make-do with other stuff no problem

    What's the issue again?

    @Xdqwerty, Dunno if you'll read this but I finished reading the story, I love the humor lol, and the idea of an incompetent hero with a smart kid is really particular, haven't seen it around much. Their dynamic kinda reminds me of Manzai (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzai) humor, pretty cool
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    A small flathead screwdriver that just fits in the center unscrews triwing screws with ease

    *yawn* lets see what was my last blog po- DECEMBER!?
  • lwiz @ lwiz:
    Triwings are often included in phone/console repair screwdriver sets as well - those available in hardware stores. Have to read what's included carefully. Got one myself without realising it first. Usually those with lots of separate bits, torx, phillips etc.
