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:

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
