Like, a decade ago I bought a Supercard DSTWO when my main handheld was still my DSi, and I used the crap out of it. But I remember buying it specifically to see if the GBA emulator would work. It did, but in my opinion, it ran horribly; the framerate was low, the sound was choppy and gross, overall I didn't think it was good.
Fast forward 10 years later, I just dug up my DSi and learned that I can mod it now thanks to TWiLightMenu, among other things. It took about an hour but when I was done, I was curious about how well my GBA ROMs would run on it, to which, lo and behold, I was pleasantly surprised to find out the framerate is pretty smooth, actually accurate to the original experience. Admittedly the sound isn't perfect but I found it better than it was on the Supercard DSTWO.
The reason I'm making this thread is because I'm actually curious as to why that is. The Supercard's GBA emulation was very subpar whereas this GBARunner tool is almost perfect.
