3DS:Virtual Console/Creation

This page is for creating Virtual Console injects, for creation of HOME Menu shortcuts via NDS Forwarder, see this page.

New Super Ultimate Injector (NSUI) is a tool to inject ROMs of various consoles into a Virtual Console title. This allows you to launch ROMs that NSUI supports from the HOME Menu.

At the moment, only Windows computers are supported. Linux (and possibly MacOS) users can attempt to install .NET using Winetricks using this guide.
