Hell yes! This is the final thing I needed for my modded 3DS to get the complete Nintendo handheld experience (3DS, NDS and GB)! Hoping I'll be able to also do GB and GBC similarly to the GBA method. Thanks! :)
Funky, you are literally the best! I used so many tutorials of yours for homebrewing etc. with the help of your tutorials, I homebrewed my 3ds and wii u keep up the great work!
a year later and this video is still helping so many people, thank you! I purchased a modded 3DS and emerald copy was not launching, following your video I was able to download an emerald copy and successfully launch it, thank you for your instructions
Okay, your tutorials are amazing. I used your perfect guide to hack my 3ds an hour ago and now I can play fan translated Mother 3 on my Nintendo 3ds. This feels unreal. Thank you so much for your work!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Thanks to you, I can finally play the SONIC ADVANCE trilogy fr without any lag or poor perfomance. And I thought it'll be hard for me to handle the process of creating gba to cia but it was easy for me too (yeah, I don't have that much knowledge on games conversions and stuff, that's why ^^)
Again another super helpful a video ! I just had to use the beta 27, for some reason the 28 wouldn’t work but everything is perfect, thanks again for your help !
Note, if you want to manage your Pokémon save files from a VC Inject, you need to either use PKSM that would need you to add manually the Title ID for the inject or use gm9 to export an gba .sav file
@@Checha_AFG just to make sure, you're saying that if I want to export the save from my playthrough onto another sd card or something I need that, but I can still save my game and play it on my 3ds fine right? Cause I don't have plans to do anything with the save file
thanks for the tutorial, I own a mac so i'll just need to borrow a friend's PC but everything looks legit. I will just write a list of the games I want for now lol
is there any way you can change the display on the games? im playing pokemon fire red and there isnt any issues but the display. some of the top is cut off and is mirrored to the bottom.
i've had the same issue but discovered that if you have a game in the slot while you're trying to play the GBA game it will mirror. so make sure to take any ds or 3ds games out of the slot before loading into the GBA
Thanks a lot man, I downloaded pokemon emerald and it works sweet, the only thing that bothers me a bit is that the title of the game doesn't appear below the banner like other virtual consoles, doesen't affect at all but it's strange
@@TheWave0fDoom89 so I found out you need to re format your SD card to 64 not 32. Quicker way around it is recreate the CIA and just inject into retro arch mGBA You still get the nice looking artwork.
Hey I know I'm a bit late but I recently got a 3DS XL out of nostalgia and wanted to play GBA games on it as well. I was wondering whether or not this method lets you enter sleep mode while playing the game.
Hey FunkyScott it’s me again, hope your having a good day, sorry again but I have a question unrelated to the video about the Wii U. Do you happen to have a guide on how to create a back up for the Wii U in case of it ever bricking?
SORRY, I guess I was really not paying attention during your home brew and tiramisu video and I just now realized that you backed up the nand to the sd card, so my question now is, should I copy those specific files to a safe folder on my pc just to be safe?
@@funkyscott47 Well in the video when we dumped the nand, the BIN files were created on the SD card which if I’m correct, can be used to unbrick the Wii U if it ever does get bricked, sorry I’m a little new to the Wii U modding scene so I’m gonna sound like a noob 😂
Thank you so much. I tried doing this using a different platform (VC Injector I think it was called) and it would just boot white screens upon launching the CIAs, this one actually works though. Headache successfully avoided! Curious, though. Is it possible to fix the in game clock of old GBA games that used clock based events? Made some .cias for the Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald games and they worked, but gave me the warning the in game clock had run dry.
Does anyone know how to acces the events for Pokemon FireRed? Nothing shows up on the injects or scripts sections of PKSM unlike with other generations/games.
Hello, i have same problem with every GBA's converted games on my O2DS. "Failed to apply 1 firm patch(es)". How i can resolve this? I have the latest version of Luma3ds and alredy tried to sostitute boot.firm 😢
i did most of the process but when i was trying to open up this part 1:34 instead of opening that up my laptop asked me to select an app to open the config and now i don't know what to do
I have one question, can you use a patched ROM? For example, I would want to play F-Zero Climax. Since it was never officially released in English, it needs the English patch to be able to read text. Can I run it well with the patch?
Hi thanks for the help but I had a question I wanted to ask, how do I transfer my save from Virtual boy to the 3DS? If there is a way to do so, I had a save I wanted to keep from a rom I had on my pc
Hi, thank you for your help! I could install and play without any flaw a lot of gba titles, but I couldn’t put the “Virtual Console” banner, containing both the title and the release date of the game. It just doesn’t pop up to me, even if I enter and modify it. Any tips?
Thanks you so much for the effort on making this video, but have u ever encountered a problem with the game not saving i used a different injector ofc i hope this imjector helps with that issue
I have a question, if you had a rom that has already been played, does the save file carry over to the cia? Edit: I just checked and they don't. Is there any way to do that? Also, the game has like part of itself on the bottom, do you know how to fix that? Edit again: I fixed the second problem by deleting and reinstalling my cia, but I still would like my saves. Any ideas? Ok last edit: I figured out how to do the save files, but it turns out the screen problem is still prevalent. It's sporadic though, and only stops like everiy other time I boot up the game. (It's Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga if that matters.) should I try the process again with a different rom?
LOVE THIS!!! ! I've managed to install the roms correctly and they all play fine. Howerver, they don't show the footbanner when I choose the GBA frame. (if I choose the purple rectangular frame like the OG GBA from the ambassador programme footbanner shows up fine) does anyone know why this is and how to fix it. I'd love to have the GBA frame rather than the rectangle... THANK YOU!!
THank you for this tutorial! VEry straightforward and easy to understand. However, I've come into the problem where I manage to install+delete my .cia gba games but then when I boot it up, it displays the GBA title screen, then the screen goes white and doesn't move past that.
@@Yeshuah6 I figured out pretty quickly that it was simply the program I used to create the .cia file (it was different than the one in this tutorial, an outdated one I"m sure), initially I used this tutorial JUST to see how to install the .cia file while I already had it.
some of my gba games have this issue where the top part is cut off and the bottom part is doubled... i saw some solution to format the sd card but im getting different answers like is it 32kb or 64kb cluster? i just wanna play hamtaro qwq
Hi thank you for the information you provided in this video. I was curious how can you use cheats on a CIA game boy advance on 3DS if you can help that would be amazing
Also, I made a CIA for Pokemon Emerald, however I notice there's something odd going on with the widescreen implementation I'm guessing? the screen sort of cuts off at the bottom and loops over, its off by like 5 pixels on first load. I noticed that pressing home, which brings up the menu on the bottom screen, causes the entire picture to shift up by about 5 pixels. Sometimes I can repeatedly smash home and it'll shift the whole screen. eventually I can keep doing this until its re-centered, but its still annoying... Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this, or if there's a fix? Does NSUI rely on twilight menu at all?
For anyone interested: the fix/problem -- I had a 128gb Sd card... that was formatted to 32k per block in EXFAT reformat to 64k per block and it fixes it.
Thank you! I had the same issue, and this resolved it after an hour or so of backing up and moving around files. I have no idea why I didn’t have it set to the 64k beforehand but it worked with my 128gb microsd 👍🏻
Hell yes! This is the final thing I needed for my modded 3DS to get the complete Nintendo handheld experience (3DS, NDS and GB)! Hoping I'll be able to also do GB and GBC similarly to the GBA method. Thanks! :)
