Sorry,

I've done a search but drawn a blank.

I wanted to play some new games but can figure out where to put the roms!

Please help as I'm dying to play 1942 again!

Also, do you think anybody will port 'Elite' ,

that would be nice :lol:

I tried that, I'm using the 'smartnes' emu

when I run the program I get a blank screen with menu option'file' then open rom- but I've no rom listed!

I've got the 1942 rom in various places but it can't find it!!!

I haven't tried smartnes so i wouldn't know about that, but i would've thought it would be the same as gnuboy :roll:

Are you sure you are not trying t use SuperNEs ROMs on the NES Emulator? Are they in some compressed format?

Could you give us the file extensions soz we can check?

I have 1942.nes as the rom file and smartnes.exe as the main program.

Think I might be having a similar problem. Have put the roms in the same directory as the .exe but it says ""gnuboy is not a valid CE product". I have only unlocked by the orange on air one, and it said it had work.? I think.

Sorry to be dumb, its only my second day on the job- so to speak.

an another thing: how do you make shortcuts to the menu. Really can not figure it out (btw got that message from all explorer if that makes a difference)

Cheers for any help/

Use your computer to go to my computer/mobile device and right click on the thing you want to make a shortcut to. Then click on create shortcut. Then cut it and paste it to the ipsm/windows/start menu dir. Also, see if something like notbad/task manager works to see if your phone is properly unlocked.

Paul, it may be that your rom is corrupt - try another nes rom in the same dir as smartnes.

Don't the nes ROM's need to have a different extension...?

Still no joy - going to give up soon

You had and old version of SmartNES, I've sent you the new one - look at monolithix's page if it doesn't get to you :lol:

Posted

Odd - you have version 1.2, right? (it says SmartNES 1.2 on the main screen in big letters)

Posted

No mono, thats SNES roms. NES rom's run with .NES extensions. Its odd because I ran 1964 fine on my phone with the file I sent paul (smartnes 1.2). Both of them in a directory on the storage card called SmartNES.

Try deleting teh SmartNES registry key in HK current user/software (or was it HKLMSoftwareSmartNES) - the old version leaves some crap there I think. Hope that works.. Make sure you remove the non 1.2 version too.. And the .txt file it creates.. Phew..
