Do you mean like have them on your Home screen? Or a method for launching them? You can do either, but it's easier to just use an emulator or a launcher if you want to do a bunch of them. It also might be easier to use an R4/Ace3DS/EZ Flash Parallel/etc. cartridge so you can keep all the GBA games and NDS games on that.

Did you actually mod this console yourself to get those on there?
No, the 3ds was modded already when I bought it. The roms I have on my laptop, I just want to be able to play them on there. I dont know how to install and emulator in my 3ds.

Whichever is easier since I'm a noob. If I could install a emulator directly to my 3ds that would be good too. I don't know how to

Then what exactly makes you think you have an emuNAND? That is very uncommon these days and you should probably consider switching back to sysNAND. There are instructions for doing so at https://3ds.guide.

You should run your GBA games via open_agb_firm. You won't be able to launch them from your Home menu, but that's the best way.

Not sure you can install TWiLight Menu with an emuNAND. You can definitely use a flashcart.

Thank you, I'll try that out. I know it's nodded because I did the hold SELECT while booting up and that came up

It was actually Luma v6.6 I found out how to update it to the latest, now I'm having issues on the finalize section where you run the script on godmode9. I'm getting error "#3 missing files finalize does not exist"

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, and since the default emulator is below average i downloaded some "replacements" like snes9x for snes games for example

    And I also have my ps3

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
