What is GBFS, and are the benefits of using it?
Thank you for time!

What on the official GBFS page can we help you understand better?

It depends on how you use it. Lookups in a GBFS are slower than lookups with individual bin2s because it has to do a binary search on a directory, but if you aren't doing a lot of lookups per frame, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

This is a GBA project, right? DS projects should generally use libfat instead.
