open_agb_firm VS Video_player_for_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.

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.

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 ).

If you're playing a GBA game, open_agb_firm or a VC inject are your best bets.

You could use open_agb_firm to play your GBA games instead.

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.

Easiest solution https://github.com/Core-2-Extreme/Video_player_for_3DS or you can make a MOFLEX

(also for future reference: this exists and it supports file formats and codecs that people actually use)

I put shows on the 3ds with https://github.com/Core-2-Extreme/Video_player_for_3DS but you have to reformat everything depending on how powerful a model you have and what the resolution is

3DS has way better options than DS, I used a program called Fast Video DS which is included with Twilight Menu++, but it's very picky with naming conventions when converting files in a way that barely makes sense, for example, cringe.mp4 will give you an error message, but Crin G3.mp4 will work just fine. For 3DS you'll want to use Video Player for 3DS. Some very low resolution mp4s will work fine if you just throw them on the SD card, but for HD ones I would recomend using Handbrake to lower the resolution to 800x226, you'll have to mess with the settings for a while but it looks quite good when done properly.
