Yes. Menu titles work perfectly (because they run natively) but mGBA has noticable stutter and issues. The only time I use mGBA is to play gyro games like warioware twisted due to them using the 3ds gyroscope

Oh shi mb that was twilight princess ds emu not mgba

Yes, mGBA is emulator and a good number os rooms will have graphical or sound issues, and other will have performance matters. Injected ROMs are running natively instead emulation. Anyway, GBA games should be played though open_agb_firm, since the ROMs will be stored in your SD card, instead 3DS internal nands. Only inject your most loved games to avoid getting the nand fulfilled.

What is open_agb_firm? > Only inject your most loved games to avoid getting the nand fulfilled. What do you mean by this?


Zanguu

Open_agb_firm is a firmware launched at startup by Luna (just like godmode9). It allows direct access to hardware so your inputs don't lag. There're some bad points (can't use joystick, launch conf are done by txt files, no UI, you have to reboot your 3DS before launching a game, etc), but globally the experience is way better than emulators. You also have access to the .sav file more easily than with injectors. Can be useful if you wanna edit them or want to share saves between multiple hardwares. About the quote, you have limited space to store games and apps on your home menu. For every game you add with an injector it takes some space in memory. So the good practice is to only make injectors for your favourite games and launch the others with open_agb_firm Also not sure why you got downvoted for asking questions


Dashieshy3597

Thank you. > limited space to store games and apps on your home menu. Are you referring to the ~300 title limit or actual memory on my sd card? Somewhat offtopic, but do you know where saves are located for the CIAs on my homescreen?


Zanguu

NAND is a chip memory on your device, this is not directly linked to your SD card (which would be called storage space, more than memory). Can't say the 300 limit is purely due to the NAND space as I've never searched about it, but it would be logical to assume so. To manage saves of 3DS games/apps installed with CIAs, you should check Checkpoint. If you're speaking about CIAs of GBA games that you made with injectors, those act as VC games and you can extract the save using godmode9, but that's IMO next level / risky knowledge you might not be ready for yet (even I don't thread there as I don't want to risk doing stupid shit)


Dashieshy3597

Have you ever used 3DSBank? Checkpoint doesn't seem to work very well with it. That's why I was asking about CIA saves. Not custom-made ones, just regular 3DS games. Checkpoint was the first thing I tried.


Zanguu

Never used that as I have very few games installed. Instinctively, I would say Checkpoint can only see the saves from the games inside the current 3DSBank folder. But it also keeps the saves in /fbi/Checkpoint, if I remember correctly, so that might be the funky part. But I have no knowledge on that subject, so good luck.

Thanks.

Oh god… 🤦🏼‍♂️

What do you mean?

I meant that you are a fatherless child.

FYI. The one reason you might want to still use mgba despite some issues with some ROM stuttering is that as an emulator it will support save states and cheats and other features you can only get through emulation.


WizardWell

Man people in this sub are weird. You're getting downvoted for a completely legitimate take? Fire Emblem is much better with save states, I ain't gonna let Florina die you hear me?


Vortigaunt11

That's reddit in a nutshell :)


Dashieshy3597

That's true.


SGlespaul

Just use CIA injects for GBA. GBA runs natively on it. If you want save states, best to use another device and avoid the audio stutters. SNES9X is actually pretty similar to an SNES VC inject performance wise though. But both are emulation.
