→Game Boy Advance: expanded description
* [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/100702766/gameyob/gameyob_3ds.zip GameYob]: GB/GBC emulation.
===Game Boy Advance===
The 3DS does include native firmware for a GBA mode which was mainly used to run ambassador releases instead of having to develop an emulator for them. So far, the only way to access this firmware is by injecting a GBA ROM as a VC application. This can be achieved through various programs such as [https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-ultimate-gba-vc-injector-for-3ds.438057/ this one]. Compatibility is high with the exception of cartridges with special hardware. The only downside is it can't provide features that are normally available on other emulators such as savestates or screen filtering and must inject and install each ROM individually, meaning that you're limited to at most 300 VC injections at a time as the 3DS can only hold 300 apps at once.
On the other hand, there are also some homebrew GBA emulators available for 3DS:
