Are you ready to relive the nostalgia of Game Boy Advance (GBA) classics on your Nintendo 3DS? With a few simple steps, you can effortlessly add GBA games to your 3DS Home Menu, unlocking a treasure trove of retro goodness.
Embark on this journey by injecting the contents of your GBA ROM file into your Nintendo 3DS SD card. Utilizing homebrew software and a custom firmware, you’ll grant your 3DS the ability to emulate GBA games. It’s akin to giving your handheld console a superpower, bestowing upon it the capability to play both modern 3DS titles and beloved GBA favorites.
Once the GBA ROMs reside on your 3DS SD card, you’ll establish a bridge between them and your Home Menu. This is achieved through channel forwarders, which serve as virtual shortcuts that seamlessly launch GBA games from the Home Menu itself. With these forwarders in place, your precious GBA classics become just as accessible as any other 3DS game, effortlessly blending into your digital library.
