Hacking help with GBA games on rxTools

[Vincent Vicious]

So i got my cfw to work today i tried some 3ds games they worked like a charm but ..
I installed the GBA game and when i launched it the screen stays black and i cant reach home so i have to force power off by holding the power button , how do i get gba games to work ?

Did you convert them to cia and install them? Or you can download them already converted.

i got them already .cia and i successfully installed them (first tried with FBI , then with BigBlueMenu) None of them launchs the games successfully

Rxtools? And your trying to run it from emunand correct?

yep

GBA as CIA works on emunand if it's also installed in sysnand.
My emu and sys nands are separated and for me GBA only works from Sysnand.

I would recommend getting a GBA emulator rather then trying to convert GBA roms to .cias...

@hobbledehoy899 we are talkink here about runnig CIAs not poor GBA emulation.

They will run from emunand if you also have them installed to sysnand, regardless of nands being linked/unlinked.

If he can run rxTools then he has kernel access and would mean that the GBA emulators should actually run good.

I've tried, on O3DS, retroarch gpSP runs pretty crummy.
Haven't tried mGBA but I hear gpSP is supposed to be better.

No. They run full speed if installed as cia. This has been said many times in the gba emulation thread.

Oh...

If he has an O3DS, GBA emulation is still garbage with most of the games.

Your nands should be linked to get cia gba games to work.

 

[honyo29]

linked nands: install on any nand, it'll work on any nand.
unlinked nand: install on both nands to make it work on emunand.
(install destination should always set to sd)

 

[Rioluwott]

Also you need to install something to the nand from what i know

If you are using RxTools 2.6 then you need to patch the AGB_FIRM to make GBA games to work. Follow the instructions on this page: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-agb_firm-signature-patcher-gba-rom-converter.390313/

is it normal that when i install fbi on sysnand and boot on sysnand directily after it i can open fbi but after i shutdown the 3ds i get an error when i try to open fbi ?
That means whenver i want to install a gba game i have to inject fbi everytime ?
EDIT : i have unlinked nands

You've missed one step
After 3DS reset you need to run rxtools than choose to boot to sysnad and then run FBI.
