ROM Hack snes emulator but no gba emulator

[mathew995]

How is it we have a Snes emulator for the Ds, not a good one albeit but we have one yet we don't have a Gba emulator for the Ds?

Because gba games take quite a bit more memory to run. It's possible to use most flash carts to play gba games, but you need a memory expansion in slot1. I recommend the EZ Flash 3-in-1

ah there is the problem i am on a 3Ds not a Ds (also i have a EZ flash 3-in-1 in my normal Ds). Okay then i see that sucks but alas

If you're using a 3DS then your only option for playing gba games is the DSTwo, which has the extra memory needed built into the slot2 cart.

there is 2 gba emulators. you didn't look enough.

the best one is for DSTWO cards only. this takes advantage of is inbuilt processor and you can find it on supercard plugins page.

the other one, for a normal flashcart like r4 which does what it can do with the nds hardware is here: http://gbatemp.net/threads/gbaemu4ds-gba-emulator-for-ds-i-dsi-entry.281715/

thank you so much migles i guess 2 days of looking (total time not at once) isn't enough. now to figure out how to change a .gba rom into a .agb bin or mb.
.

Just change the file extension from gba to agb, there's no conversion needed
