Plus injecting is time consuming, and the games take a while to load. Emulators are just easier for everything except GBA, and even mGBA is fine for most things.

mGBA is really good. It even supports Super Game Boy palettes and borders.

Do the emulators run at full speed on a New 3DS?

Also big pro tip regarding GBA injection: The GBA emulator is the same one Nintendo made for the 3DS Ambassador games. Closing the 3DS will shut the screens and volume off but the games WILL keep running and consuming battery.

I haven't tried it in a while but open_agb_firm uses the same hardware-level GBA "emulation" as VC without having to inject ROMs. It might be worth trying as an alternative, although perhaps less convenient to start.

One last question regarding emulators - should I stick with the stand alone emulators for New 3DS, or use Retroarch?

Whoa that’s neat. If I didn’t already inject all the GBA games I care about I’d definitely try that out

Closing the 3DS will shut the screens and volume off but the games WILL keep running and consuming battery. Thankfully the program has a toggle that puts the 3DS in sleep mode like normal. It supposedly doesn't work for every game, but it's worked for the 5 I bothered to try it with.

Another homebrew released thing I recommend is this amazing hack for Majora’s Mask 3D. It removes some of the stupider changes, while keeping the good ones, along with some new QoL features to make what I think is the definitive version of the game.

Wow, I gotta put my hacked New 3DS to better use than just playing the Super Robot Taisen GBA games. Didn’t realize how much it’s come along. You guys convinced me to get Rusty Baseball, now how do I haggle this guy down in price other than giving him my only two donuts. Apparently you can get all the games for $16 at the lowest.

My favorite feature is patching. I've only done it with a couple of Fire Emblem games, but things like removing the gender lock in Echoes or the Hoshidan recruitment in Conquest completely rewrite how the game is played and it's awesome I don't need to try to emulate these games in order to experience these mods.

Girls can't be archers or mercenaries, guys can't be clerics or pegasus knights. The gender lock patch removes those restrictions so you can have cleric Atlas and Dread Fighter Faye. It's pretty cool.

Thunder Bear posted:...If I hack my 3DS, would I be able to, say, edit my Conquest save file to max out renown and have access to all the reward items without that bullshit online grinding? I think for that you need a hex editor. But there are cheats that give you max of every item, including enemy only weapons and the visitor and battle seals. There's also a cheat to max out supports and to let you give any character any skill. Including changing personal skills and using enemy only and dummy skills. The only real bitch is you can't combine the built in cheats with patching. So you can do Gay Fates or instant supports and everyone has Staff Savant and Inevitable End, but not both.

That's why I have a separate Conquest rom for patching. Azura in her Conquest outfit with Hinata and Oboro is jut too much fun.

Would cleric Atlas have a proper spell list and all? Walla posted:The only real bitch is you can't combine the built in cheats with patching.

So I found my old Link Between Worlds 3DS XL, and I don’t use it for anything. Can two 3DS XLs be tied to one Nintendo account and download the same games? I bought a New 3DS XL like a year after the Zelda one so I never went back to playing on the Zelda one.

Waltzing Along posted:I don't believe so. IIRC, the games are tied to the system, not to the account. It's even worse: the games are tied to the account but also the account is tied to the system. You can't unlink the account from the system by yourself (in order to use another account on it or to use your account on another system) except by running a full System Transfer between two systems or by calling Nintendo customer service. But yeah, the answer is a big "nope, you can't".

Are flash carts a subsection of 3DS hacking, or is that starting to get into  territory? I've long had a dream of copying my physical GBA and DS library onto some sort of group storage and playing those off of my 3DS, but I have no idea how feasible that would be.

Annath posted:How do I use cheats with a hacked 3ds? I ripped my FE:Fates carts and have been playing them digitally, but I don't know how to enable cheats. Assuming you have Luma, press L1+Down+Select while the game is running. One of the options will be cheats, but not every game has cheats available. There's also cheats through Checkpoint and other apps, but I've never looked into those options.

C-Euro posted:Are flash carts a subsection of 3DS hacking, or is that starting to get into You have a homebrew thread for console hacks like the 3DS. Anyway, you don't need a flashcart at all these days. Install Luma+Godmode and you can dump all your 3DS and DS carts and play them straight from your SD card with a combination of FBI+TwilightMenu. Check the guide. And you can also use emulators/gbafirm to play all the SNES and GBA stuff you want. A full Nintendo experience in one device.
