Homebrew How Fast is mGBA on New 3DS XL?

[Bart Lemming]

I have a New 3DS XL and I'm thinking of putting a CFW on it. The only thing that's really stopping me is that about the only thing I'd be interested in is running GBA games on it.

So, I thought I'd ask you folks. How fast is mGBA these days? Does it run at 100%? What, if any, games are problematic? How has the GBC emulation progressed?

Thanks for any (nice!) replies.

gba games play at a playable framerate around 95% at the lowest though gbc and gb have not really improved why not just inject gb, gbc, and gba games into VC

100% on most games as long as you have the GBA bios, the emubios is too intensive for the 3DS, some games have some slowdown, but its mostly very playable

Thanks for the replies. I haven't really considered injecting VC ROMs - Mainly because I'm old and out of touch!

Here is a link to the gbatemp mgba 3ds wiki. I update it on a regular basis.
