Rate my setup/suggestions?
I recommend modding the 3DS. Only because it adds so much features that the 3DS doesn't have now. On top of that, backing up the ROMs for your cartridges is great for long trips where you really don't want to bring every game you own, or just when you can't be bothered.

Finally Modded My 3DS
Don't forget about emulators! Especially if you have a "new" system - you can even play some (mostly 2D) PS1 games, and some N64 games on it, and everything older. On an "old" system you are more limited though - SNES games that use a SuperFX chip (such as SM RPG, Yoshi's Island, Star Fox, and some other ones) will run slow, but Genesis and 8-bit systems will run no problems. And you can run GBA games - on "new" you can even use the system's gyroscope for games like WarioWare Twisted or Yoshi Topsy-Turvy through mGBA, and on any system you can use injects or open_agb_firm - they both run games natively using the ARM7 CPU - the same one GBA uses, carried over into the DS, and it's still included in the 3DS.

Question about mGBA
Use open_agb_firm. It's a firm, so it's activated in the same way as GodMode9, hold START while turning on the 3DS. You should be able to download it via Universal Updater. open_agb_firm uses the 3DS hardware to give you the same experience as playing on a real GBA.

anyone know how to move a firered save (.sav from emulator) to a 3ds?
That depends on how you are running the game on your 3DS. The best way is with open_agb_firm, in which case you will probably need to convert it with https://exelotl.github.io/gba-eeprom-save-fix/ (as linked from https://github.com/profi200/open_agb_firm ).

Minish cap Crash
If you're playing a GBA game, open_agb_firm or a VC inject are your best bets.
- Modded the 3ds today and playing emerald on a gba emulator is really slow for som reason, why?

Inject GBA rom to CIA file on Linux?
You could use open_agb_firm to play your GBA games instead.

Why on my mGBA emulator on my modded 3ds make this sound when I am trying to play a game
Because unfortunately mGBA is a little bit laggy on the 3DS. It’s terrific for game boy and game boy color games, but I digress. You could use something like open agb firm which runs games using the 3DS’ built in gba hardware natively without any lag or slowdowns.
