Homebrew Which way do you prefer to play gba games on your 9.2 3ds?

[SLiV3R]

Personally I prefer gba virtual console injection. It plays gba games perfect, without any problems, glitches or something else.

If you think gba injection is to dark: turn up the light to 5 in system settings. Then it will be just perfect!

What do you think?

Ambassador cia plus ambassador games, on pastacfw.

 

[TrashyClassy]

virtual console because it is much better than emulation.

 

[Xenon Hacks]

AGB_FIRM every time but if I already happen to have a save from my PC ill use GPSP or MGBA.

for n3ds，there is no reason to use the shitty gba inject，gpsp always run at full speed，and the graph is
fairly shaper.

I somewhat disagree I have a N3DSXL and some games like Pokemon Emerald drop to 50-55 FPS when in double battles or using the bike but run flawlessly with AGB_FIRM.

The 'shitty gba inject' runs GBA native on 'real' GBA hardware, no emulator will reach that level of perfection ever. Yes they (could) have awesome features and come really close to the real hardware, but it is still not the 'real' thing.

I would wish there would be an option to launch GBA games always unscaled (so you don't have to hold the select button when launcing the game)

And a border with the device shown like with the Gameboy VC games would be really nice, but I guess that's impossible ..

I can't stand 1:1 on the big XL screen and retro arch layers a filter of it to smooth the jaggies out. Some like jaggies- that's ok. I can deal with it on nes games but not gba.

50-55？I haven’t tried to play double battle with pokemon, but have you set sound driver to CSND & nearest?
Also，keep in mind to use cia version.

The only filter make gpsp.cia slow down is the Phosphor2x one.

Of course im using the CIA version

gpsp runs full speed on pokemon on old 3ds besides on the tilte screen but it lags on 3d gba games like mariokart

 

[Mrrraou]

I use my DSTwo+. It works great. I don't like having all my GBA games in CIAs on emuNAND and sysNAND.

^ This. I'm still in fear to install something into my SysNAND and I'd like to keep it as clean as possible

Otherwise, how does GPSP run on O3DS (the CIA version)? Am I able to play Pokémon games decently or

 

[Quantumcat]

DSTwo as well. Only because installing them seems complicated and DSTwo is easy to use.

 

[Felipe Stona]

Dstwo.
save state+acceleration.

Tried all the ways, when runs good/perfectly, don't have theses options. When have options, don't run good/have incompatible games.

I think like this as well. Yes, gpSP is fullspeed or near fullspeed on most games on the n3ds. But even though it is fullspeed the emulation sometimes is choppy and not perfect..

 

[hacksn5s4]

gpsp runs full speed on o3ds with pokemon only lagging on the tilte screen but it lags on 3d gba games such as mariokart

 

[kedest]

Emulation. I want to keep my sysnand completely clean.

 

[reiyu]

does the GBA emulator benefit with DSTwo+?

 

[DKB]

I play them on my N3D- Ouya. Yeah, I have an OUYA.
