The current recommended way to run GBA software is [[3DS:open_agb_firm|open_agb_firm]] due to its drag-and-drop functionality and ease of save file access. open_agb_firm runs as a payload (similar to GodMode9), meaning it is not directly accessible from HOME Menu (requiring a reboot to enter/exit) unless an alternate bootloader such as [[3DS:fastboot3DS|fastboot3DS]] is combined with [https://gbatemp.net/download/open-agb-launcher.36828/ Open AGB Launcher].<br> | The current recommended way to run GBA software is [[3DS:open_agb_firm|open_agb_firm]] due to its drag-and-drop functionality and ease of save file access. open_agb_firm runs as a payload (similar to GodMode9), meaning it is not directly accessible from HOME Menu (requiring a reboot to enter/exit) unless an alternate bootloader such as [[3DS:fastboot3DS|fastboot3DS]] is combined with [https://gbatemp.net/download/open-agb-launcher.36828/ Open AGB Launcher].<br> | ||

The Game Boy Color and Game Boy are old enough that all models of the 3DS (and even the DS) can run them at full speed. The historically popular GB(C) emulator has been [[udb:3ds/gameyob-3ds|GameYob]], but due to 3DS-specific issues the [[udb:ds/gameyob|DS version]] is preferred (ran through TWiLight Menu++).<br> | The Game Boy Color and Game Boy are old enough that all models of the 3DS (and even the DS) can run them at full speed.
