Yes, I understand that. The stable version is based on an older nightly. The nightly version is a newer version. https://s3.amazonaws.com/mgba/mGBA-build-latest-3ds.7z
Homebrew [PSA] The lastest mGBA nightly runs pretty fast.

You should always get the latest nightly from this link:

That URL is just confusing, how do you get there from the mGBA site? It's not on the main nightly build page.
it is on the mGBA site.
Check in mgba.io and go to the "Downloads" section, then go to where it says "Development Downloads".
That's the nightlies' download links.

Wait I remember getting full speed fairly easily, using my n3ds and dynarec over a year back. Whats this about not even full speed with these major improvements?

Even Mother 3 and Golden Sun 2? Those are the more intensive games on GBA hardware.
I only ever really played minish cap, and when I used the 'fast forward' feature I only got about 150% speed, so it didn't have much power to spare. But are you guys really saying that with these massive improvements, on n3ds with dynarec, it still can't reach full speed on certain games?

Well, ABG_FIRM uses virtualization, actual hardware in DS mode. mGBA uses software to emulate the hardware, so it's far from perfect, it will take time to optimize. Are you sure it was mGBA and not gPSP?

gPSP is faster, but far less accurate than mGBA; it will take some time to get it faster.
That's awesome that emulation has greatly improved. But what I want to know is, do save files still show up on the file select menu? If so, is there any way to relocate them so they're not in the way?
Open the config.ini file that mGBA generated and follow these instructions:

In our case, it'd be [Ports.3ds] I believe
Is there anything specific that I need to do to get this to work? I installed the CIA, then went to try Pokemon Emerald. I just get "Loading...", the game never starts, and the 3DS locks up to where I can't even use the Home button, and I have to completely power off the system.
I tried that with the stable and a recent nightly. I tried it with THIS nightly. I named the path sd:/ etc. It doesn't work. If it works for everyone else, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
