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.

Is there a tutorial on how to do virtual console emulation?
I would like to try out the other method instead of RetroArch but I don't know where to start?

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.

What game is it? If you want you can shoot me a request over at my thread at the ISO site and I could give it a shot.

    Nah, a hit gives them mad meth powers, but makes them more difficult to control.
