3DS: Juegos de GBA
From Hacks Guide Wiki
More actions
La Nintendo 3DS puede ejecutar juegos de GBA mediante varios métodos, ambos nativamente y mediante emulación.
Comparación de métodos
En orden de más a menos recomendado.
open_agb_firm
- Corre nativamente, no mediante emulación (alta compatibilidad, pero sin trampas, avance rápido, etc)
- Soporta el reloj en tiempo real para Pokémon, pero no la cámara o el acelerómetro
- Debe ser iniciado desde chainloader (al mantener START en el encendido), como GodMode9
- Esto si permite ejecutarlo más rápido que los injects si tu sistema está apagado.
- Tiene un explorador de archivos que te permite seleccionar una ROM
- Supports button remapping (including circle pad and touchscreen, but not New 3DS L2/R2)
- Brightness can be adjusted in-game
- Automatic ROM patching is supported
- Streaming, 3DS HOME Menu, etc. are inaccessible while a game is running
- Saves are stored on SD card and easy to manage
- Lacks a user interface for configuring settings (a text editor must be used to change the config file)
- Still under active development
Virtual Console (VC) injects
- Run natively, not via emulation (same caveats as above)
- Must manually be created using a PC program (Windows-only, closed-source and abandoned by dev)
- Each game has its own separate icon on the HOME Menu
- No button remapping
- No adjustable brightness
- No automatic ROM patching
- Streaming, 3DS HOME Menu, etc. are inaccessible while a game is running
- Saves are stored in NAND and are difficult to backup and restore (requires GodMode9 and multiple reboots for each save)
mGBA
- A full emulator, which means that it has fast-forward, cheats, save states
- Performance isn't perfect, especially on old 3DS
- Not compatible with all games, but may have higher compatibility with ROM hacks that are not designed to run on actual GBA hardware
- Runs in 3DS mode, so you can stream it or use the HOME Menu while it's running
- Supports button remapping
- Has a ROM picker
- Saves are stored on SD card and easy to manage
- Supports additional hardware features, such as accelerometer (for WarioWare: Twisted!) and camera (for Game Boy Camera)
GBARunner2
- A middle-ground between emulation and native
- it's basically the worst of both worlds, still no emulator features, but some games are incompatible or have issues
- Included with TWiLightMenu++
- Has a ROM picker
- Streaming, 3DS HOME Menu, etc. are inaccessible while a game is running
- Saves are stored on SD card and easy to manage
