Viewer Challenge: Two 3DS Retro Adapters

Ben, I miss the GBA Slot on DS (DSi and above don’t have) and I would like to have two adaptors for my 3DS and for a friend (that may want to go Two Player with me) The Retro Adaptors will play Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance Games in 3D/2D. Then I would want them to have the ability to connect them Wireless to each other or Wired to a Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance or Game Cube. They must work with 3DS System Updates and all of the games. By the way, you may want to try to use Game Boy Advances for those adaptors. Don't forget, some games had extra stuff that happened on the Super Boy I & II and Game Boy Player. So, can you make that stuff work on the Retro Adaptors and on some Game Boy Advance and Game Cube Games made it to where there you could do the start and select trick or be used with no game. Then do the Game Boy Game Color Tricks too when not in Super Boy I & II/Game Boy Player mode. When in the 3DS Menu, the games will be passed somehow and the Activity Log will see them as Retro Adaptors. The Power can be Batteries. I don't care how long it takes you; I would like to have the Retro Adaptors please and thank you. Here is some of the stuff you may need http://sdrv.ms/XgDX9W http://tinycartridge.com/post/3671771079/nintendo-3ds-development-hardware-including-the

    A small side note here, you can already play GB/GBC/GBA games on a 3DS using a flash card (such as the R4).

    Although this requires you to dowload the games' ROMs, and it is not an adapter for any physical games you own.

    Ya, but you may get a virus from the downloads and I have a game save on a geme. Then I may want to use that save, but can't just copy the save to the rom easily at all. By the way, some roms on the emulators don't look and sound the same on the GBA.
