Y'know, since I don't have a real GBA or a phone that can do it, is there a good emulator for the switch that'll do it? Specifically so I can play WarioWare: Twisted! without needing to use that not-so-great "no gyro" patch.
And a bit unrelated, but since I also have the game as a VC inject on my 3DS; How can I copy the save from there, to my Switch?

mGBA is the best one, I haven't used it though so I can't answer your question, you'll just have to try it and see.
You can dump GBA saves on 3DS with GodMode9. Navigate to SYSNAND VIRTUAL, and press A on agbsave.bin, AGBSAVE options -> Dump GBA VC save. That'll contain the save file of the last game you played. You should be able to just replace the save file mGBA creates with it.

Alright, I'll try out mGBA and see. If so, I'll rip my save and use it. If not, I'll keep on lookin'. (also I had a feeling you had to use GM9 to rip the last-played game's save since I HAVE done a system transfer before, but it's been years since)

Holy shit, it works! And right out of the box, too!

Thanks for the inquiry, I needed to know whether it was possible to emulate WarioWare Twisted! on the Switch too, without losing any functionality. I'll try using mGBA, through RetroArch first before just using mGBA standalone.

    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.

    @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.
