GBARunner2 VS flashcard-archive

GBARunner2 is a plugin that lets you run Gameboy Advance games inside TM++. Follow along with the instructions on the GitHub link to install. This should also let you play Gamboy and Gameboy Color games as well.

These days, when I play gba games on the DS Lite(have an rg35xx now) I use GBARunner2 to play gba games on slot 1. I know it's not what you're wanting, but it's still worth checking out if you've never used it.

You can use gbarunner2 to play gba games

For gbarunner2, setting it up is as simple as going to the github page then downloading 'GBARunner2_arm9dldi_ds.nds' and puting it on your sd card. If it doesn't work then you should use 'GBARunner2_arm7dldi_ds.nds' instead. It will allow you to launch gba roms, though compatibility isn't great. It would honestly be better to mod your 3ds to play gba roms using open_agb_firm

You need to patch this RTC patch onto the Pokemon Red Chapter Rom, then you can use Boktai to change it to your liking.

Playing GBA games isn't a great experience on most flashcards. However, you can use gbarunner2 for GBA games: https://github.com/Gericom/GBARunner2/releases/tag/v20200812-131430_6e4ce45

Download gbarunner2 for GBA games: https://github.com/Gericom/GBARunner2/releases/tag/v20200812-131430_6e4ce45 Use GBARunner_arm9dldi_ds.nds first, if it doesn't work, use GBARunner_arm7dldi_ds.ndsibstead

You will also need to test some homebrew to see if it launches too, any homebrew will work, though I'll give you some examples to try out: - DS Reader - Text reader - Gameyob - GB/C Emulator - Gbarunner2 - GBA Hypervisor - Try GBARunner2_arm9dldi_ds.nds first and if it doesn't work, use GBARunner2_arm7dldi_ds.nds

You can seek it here - https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/flashcard-archive/tree/main

See if you find it here.

You could also try the original kernel - keep in mind that it has a timebomb, so you will have to set your date and time back: (flashcard archive link)

You’re SD card might be corrupted. Back up your files and reformat it and see if that helps. While you’re at it, you should really update your kernel to wood 1.62 (https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/flashcard-archive/tree/main/files/R4_original_M3_Simply ) . The kernel you’re using is extremely outdated. Wood will give you better compatibility and a generally better user experience.

You might also be interested in the carts which should use BL2CK which you can find here: https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/flashcard-archive

Yes, but this cart has a timebomb in the older kernels. The latest working version can be found here: (https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/flashcard-archive/raw/archive/files/YSMenu/r4isdhc.com/r4isdhc.com_2014-2020_DEMON_4.0b.zip), but you wont be able to use the cart if your date is set past the 3rd of September 2024 iirc

You have to find out what model it is. Google for "R4 firmware table" or similar. There's good pages with all firmwares, e.g. https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/flashcard-archive

If you wish to use the stock kernel for the cart, you will be stuck with the timebomb version for now, you can download it from here.

This cart looks like an r4-pro, it will use bl2ck: https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/flashcard-archive/raw/main/files/BL2CK/BL2CK_1.30.4.zip
