SMA3:YI is probably the worst offender of this, and the injects themselves are a bit washed out, making them more susceptible to the ghosting, imo.
hehe, thats actually the only game that I have noticed ghostning. But I play Yoshis Island in fullspeed on PocketSNES. So I dont bother the downscaled gba version ;)

they fixed that and also the Real TIme Clock works (theres a patching method for the roms)
well I read that AGB_FIRM was supposed to be patched, but then I found out it was only for new3ds after I patched it, so would I have to download the original and install it to sysnand again?

also, I tried to make a pokemon emerald .cia and apparently only certain dumps of the game work. Mine didn't, so I had to stick with gpsp. Any help?

I go with emulation, but I've never tried VC injection. Mostly because I have gamesaves from other emulators that I wanted to continue on my n3ds and I'm unaware if its possible to import those to a VC version.

I love AGB FIRM i always hated the emulstors for bad sound quality, and just really having a sickly looking presentation tbh :S
Anyone else agree?

I've installed yesterday a couple of GBA games and they're working flawlessly! (Except for the blur effect of some games, which isn't that annoying when you get used to it).

Now I'm installing a bunch of them and I'm afraid to reach the 300 title limit :P

I tried doing the AGB_FIRM inject method just to test and one of my games refuses to convert. Looks like I'm sticking to emulation.
