Hi,

I saw a pack with 100+ GBA games in cia format but it states that the games have to be installed to Sysnand and that they would not run in Emunand.

There's also a folder with what seems to be a couple of firmwares in CIA for O3DS & N3DS.

I very much dislike installing stuff in SysNand and especially a new firmware (I don"t want to screw up for good the usage of the Gateway card). So are these safe to use and what cautious steps shoud I be using in order for everything to go smoothly.

If you could spare a little explanation on why this is not running (I have not dared to even test it) in GW mode, I'd appreciate.

Thanks,

You have to run GBA titles in a CFW that supports patched AGB_FIRM and signature patching. To get AGB_FIRM patched see this thread. For help on CFW read the guide for the appropriate CFW for your system.

Thanks.

What app would you use to install the AGB_FIRM to SysNand ? Would a backup be able to recover if for some reason shit hit the fan ?

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go
