As the topic states. I've installed the .cia for gpSP to my custom firmware from the nightly build from yesterday. I've put a few gba files onto my SD card as well. But when I go to boot them the bottom screen says something about no audio driver found and then the entire thing crashes and restarts my 3ds. Any idea on how I can fix this? I'd like to see how well New 3DS can emulate gba games and I hear this is the best emulator.

It sounds like you're missing the gba_bios.bin You'll need to place it in this directory: if you don't have them create the folders needed. SD:retroarch/cores/system/gba_bios.bin

Do you have the Bios file in the retroarch folder on the root of the SD card?

File structure should look like /retroarch/cores/system/gba_bios

Ahh. That'd be what I'm missing. I've just put that in there and it's working now! Thanks

Two other quick questions while you're here: Is there an option to make the bottom screen blank while playing so all the white text of what the emulator is doing goes away? And can I get the 3ds's circlepad to work? At the moment, only the d-pad works.

Tapping the upper half of the touchscreen will hide the log. You can bind the Circle Pad to keys via Settings > Input.

Tapping the upper part of the touchscreen makes the white text go away, to get the circlepad to work you have to go to settings:input:input user 1 binds then tap right on User 1 device type so it says Retropad w/ Analog, now go down one option and hit right so it says left analog. That should work (sorry if it sounds confusing)

    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
