Configure save state on 3DS - goomba000 - 11-20-2024

Hi all,

I'm using mGBA 0.10.3 on my 3DS and I noticed that sometimes, for a reason I haven't been able to determine, making a save state takes around 4 seconds instead of the usual < 1s.

Searching a bit I found this thread: https://forums.mgba.io/showthread.php?tid=5624&highlight=save+state+information about disabling saving the screenshot in the state. By experimenting I found that on the Qt (Windows) port of mGBA, this setting in config.ini:
saveStateExtdata=31
becomes:
saveStateExtdata=30
when I disable the Screenshot under "Save State Extra Data".

I'd like to try to do the same thing on the 3DS to see if it speeds up the process of saving the state. However, saveStateExtdata appears under the [ports.qt] section of config.ini for the Qt port. Is there a way to do the same thing on the 3DS? Also, is there reference doc somewhere for the config.ini settings? (otherwise I will dig up the source I suppose)

Thank you
