Import companion packs
Download a companion pack and give a game its second-screen companion.
A companion pack is what a game shows on the second screen. Each pack is made for specific games, and each game remembers the pack you chose for it.

Packs match games by the 4-letter game code in the ROM header, so a pack only shows up for the regions it supports.
The pack doesn't show up
- Check the game's region against the table above.
- Make sure you imported the
.zipitself, not a folder or a re-zipped folder. If you zip a pack yourself,manifest.jsonmust be at the root of the zip. - If import fails, GBA Duo shows "Could not import pack" with the reason.
