Hacking [Question]: Progress on playing GBA games on a 2DS/O3DS?

[ScarletDreamz]

Been out from the 3ds scene a while, is there any progress/way to play GBA games on the 2DS / O3DS?

 

[Mikemk]

Sure, inject virtual console, same as on a N3DS.

 

[touholic]

Yes.There is a tool that can convert a .gba rom to Virtual Console .cia file.The name is Ultimate GBA VC Injector.

So we got this far? because i remember that only n3ds supported gba cias.

It's always been for old and new 3ds, in fact the only reason injects is possible is because Nintendo gave some gba vc to old 3ds users who bought the console before the price drop

You're thinking of SNES. Old 3DS has always been able to play VC GBA cias.

Actually the real reason is because the old 3DS already had an ARM7 cpu in order to allow hardware GBA emulation.

Which Nintendo kindly told us how to use.
