You need to first decertify your SPV (look in the forum, its a sticky) and then download GameBoy Emulator from here:

yeh ive unlocked my spv, fine that went ok, ive got loads games on it, im just wondering wot to do with this emulator? that was a very random reply really for saying im a novice mr moderator!

Oh s**t, sorry kinda missed the 'bin looking at the gameboy emulator link' bit.

Anyway. You need to copy the gameboy.exe of the emulator in the Storage CardProgram FilesGameBoy and all the roms have to go in the same folder.

Then create a shortcut to gameboy.exe in your Start Menu. Or just start it from AllExplorer.

When you run the program it will show list of availible roms (that you've copied to Gameboy folder). Select and off you go.

You will need to have ROMS and there are some availible for free. Others like Mario - by law you must have the game to legally posess/download a rom. Don't ask where.

Does that make things clearer?

yeh i see the emulator exe and thatll b no probs doin, but thers another link to sumthing called sources???? wot r they? and i take it if u want to put yr gameboy roms onto ur spv ull need sum kinda expensive, mind boggling piece of hardware?

[Guest crimminsky]

ignore the source file, thats just there because it's freeware and the author needs to publish his source.

[Guest madu]

Gameboy ROMs are files that contain a data image of a Gameboy cartridge.. They are copied to a PC by some ppl that do these things.. You only need to find them on the net and copy over. Mind the legal issues though.

[Guest tony_spv_2003]

Tip here: If ur running a game using the emulator and u want to reset the game to play from the start, just press A, B, Start and Select at the same time, itll just reset the game.

A=left select

B=Right select

Start=1

Select=2

so wen ive installed the emulator to storage cardprogramfiles or sumthing, i just need to find sum roms on the net, ne idea where to start looking for them?? then i just put the roms in the same folder as the emulator, then open it using the emulator? which file do i open once inside the emulator??

thanks for the help guys

Correct... that's all you need to do...

When you run the emulator, if you have roms in the same directory as gnuboy.exe it'll show you a list of roms which you can choose from using the joystick.

http://www.davemoller-nz.demon.co.uk/gnuboy.html is the "Official site" and will tell you about controls and installation.

Here's a link to a freeware legal rom to get you started:

Downloading roms is "illegal" and please don't discuss it here.

I would say that if I was looking to download fish recipes off the net, I might go to www.google.com and search for +"fish recipes" +download.

[Guest tomdbomb61]

brilliant im in need of sumfish recipes ill have to have a look. sorry spacemonkey wen u download the rom which file do u open up in the emulator?

cheers
