New Super Ultimate Injector 3DS (also known as NSUI) is an application that allows you to inject Nes, Snes, GameBoy, GameBoy Colour, GameBoy Advance, Mega Drive, Game Gear and TurbiGrafx 16 roms in to the 3DS, allowing roms of games from these popular classic consoles to be loaded from the 3DS home screen.

This is something which has been possible for a number of years now, however advancements have been made with GBA game injection. Its now possible to inject games which use 128k saves and the RTC (real time clock) such as Pokemon without having to patch the rom to get the game to save.

Note: Some antivirus program may throw a warning, this is likely a false positive (release thread). If you are concerned you can use a virtual machine to run it.

User guide

The tutorial is based on this guide ​of making VC inject of Pokemon Emerald for the Game Boy Advance. Broadly speaking, the steps will not differ too much for other supported VC injectable consoles.

To begin, open New Super Ultimate Injector for 3DS.exe, and create a new project:

• Once the project loads, click Project, then Load ROM to import your legally dumped GBA rom by navigating to it in the window that appears.
• Most of the information about your rom will be automatically prefilled. You may customise it as you wish.
  • The options are reasonably self-explanatory, however if you are unsure, hover your mouse over a box or button for a short explanation of what it does.
  • Most of the customisation is up to you. Pick any name, change the game icon, choose a title ID, modify the CIA banner, etc.
  • If you are lazy, most of these options can be left unchanged, but you should click "Download title screen from database" under icon settings and banner settings in order to get a half decent icon and banner image that you don't have to go hunting for.
• Importantly, at this time, there is no way to change button mapping for a VC inject.
• Under "Edit content options" at the bottom, you can apply a hard reset and or a sleep patch, if you want to do that.
• Once you have finished customising your rom, export it.

It can then be installed to your console via FBI, which by this point you should already have.

Notes

• The original release has the language set in Spanish, just delete the config.ini to change to English/default settings.
• VC injects count as Home Menu titles. You may have 300 Home Menu titles at one time, system apps do count, and folders don't change the limit.
• If you wish to run Nintendo DS (i.e. old DS) games, it is advised to use TWiLightMenu++ instead.
