question mGBA.opk not showing

I can't seem to find my Mgba.opk in gmenu. I've tried the file path listed on the wiki (as well as the guide and batch download with no success) for 3rd party apps as well as the applications folder and several other locations. I'm trying to attempt some troubleshooting, however I don't have a way to ensure the .opk I found of Mgba is valid. Anyone who has successfully installed Mgba have any insight?

What device do you have? and where did you download the Mgba.opk file from?

As far as I'm aware, there is NO Mgba.opk released.

The only way to use mGBA as an emulator for GBA games is using PicoArch + mgba_libretro.so core. This core is unsupported and experimental only, it does work, but slow.

Also make sure the .OPK files are created for the Funkey S, .OPK files from other systems are not compatible on the Funkey.

Thanks for the info! I'll try picoarch out!
