One of the biggest reasons why you'd want to use mgba instead of having them native on your system is purely for that fast forward option if you're playing something like pokemon or any other kind of rpg.

@chriswinters3783 7 ай бұрын

open_agb_firm is a much better option. Why emulate when the 3DS family all have the required hardware to run GBA games natively already built in? For GB and GBC games, Gameyob has better compatibility than mGBA. Don't get me wrong, for GBA games, mGBA is the go to emulator if you're playing on a non-native device like a PC or a smartphone as long as the specs support running mGBA at full speed. But for the 3DS family, open_agb_firm for GBA and Gameyob for GB/GBC is the way to go.

If you are on an old 3ds, you can inject gba games as virtual console titles, or use gbarunner2, which both don't use emulation. I use gbarunner2 because it's an easier setup. There is certain games that don't run well, but majority still work fine.
