does this support GB/C? or only GBA

To add slightly more information:

Since the GBA on the 3DS behaves like it's from a DS Lite, and no DS has accessible CGB mode (it just hangs on regular GBA background as opposed to the special CGB graphics mode), it doesn't work on 3DS either as a result. Seems like the L/R buttons don't work either in this bugged mode, so it's safe to say that they most likely indeed fully removed it, not just disabled it.

GB(C) Virtual Console is emulated if you do an inject.

Is there a way to change the amount of titles you scroll through on open agb when pressing left or right on the d-pad? I feel like it skips too many titles at once. (About 25. I counted) I want to be able to lessen it to maybe skipping 10 titles at a time.

Is there a way to change the amount of titles you scroll through on open agb when pressing left or right on the d-pad? I feel like it skips too many titles at once. (About 25. I counted) I want to be able to lessen it to maybe skipping 10 titles at a time.

It's hard coded, the only way to change it would be to modify the SCREEN_ROWS macro in file
open_agb_firm/source/arm11/filebrowser.c and then recompile the project.

(You're almost right, it's set to 24 in the code.)




Edit: ok, the above is not ideal since SCREEN_ROWS also controls how many titles are displayed on screen. But one can just as easily create a new macro called ROWS_TO_SKIP (or something like that, the name does not interfere)

C:
#define ROWS_TO_SKIP     (12u)

(To me 12 felt good because then if you press RIGHT two times it will skip a whole screen.)

Then we change two lines; in the block

C:
            if(kDown & KEY_DRIGHT)
            {
                cursorPos += SCREEN_ROWS;
                if((u32)cursorPos > num) cursorPos = num - 1;
            }
            if(kDown & KEY_DLEFT)
            {
                cursorPos -= SCREEN_ROWS;
                if(cursorPos < -1) cursorPos = 0;
            }

we change to

C:
            if(kDown & KEY_DRIGHT)
            {
                cursorPos += ROWS_TO_SKIP;
                if((u32)cursorPos > num) cursorPos = num - 1;
            }
            if(kDown & KEY_DLEFT)
            {
                cursorPos -= ROWS_TO_SKIP;
                if(cursorPos < -1) cursorPos = 0;
            }

Then compile and the new version of the firm will be hard coded to skip 12 titles (or however many you decide to set in the #define) when we press RIGHT on the d-pad.





A more flexible solution is to add this number as a configurable entry in the config.ini file.
However, this requires more modifications and makes the config file for the new version incompatible with that of the official release.

I've done both versions described above (hard coded to skip 12 and configurable via config.ini); if anyone cares to check out I can upload either (or both) of them.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
