Noobish ROM Questions

Okay, I've got some inquiries on ROM's. When you download them do you extract all the files, cause I'm worried that it's goin' to eat up my memory. And also, does anyone know where to find a Legend Of Zelda The Minish cap EMULATOR!! I've downloaded it from two different sources and can't find one that will work for Visual Boy Advance. And well, basically any truths of ROM's that ya' got.

There's no such thing as a Zelda emulator.You need to extract the games yes so you can play them on an emulator ;)

Oh, excuse me! I meant Legend of Zelda the minish cap EMULATION, the game. I've tried downloading it here retardedly, extracted the files and I couldn't play em' on the Visual Boy Advance, which is an emulator as i'm sure you know. It says it's like an unsupported file type or something along those lines. Anyway, I need an Emulation not an emulator, the actual game. Excuse me, I didn't proofread that last post. 'twas foolishness of mine.

The game would be referred to as a "ROM", Emulation is the process of emulating something with an emulator. :)Make sure you are opening the correct file. You want the file that ends in .GBA

Zelda The Minish Cap plays in the No$GBA 2.6 emulator. To find this emulator just Google "No$GBA 2.6 download" and I am sure you will find it. As for the rom "Zelda The Minish Cap" same deal just Google "Zelda The Minish Cap rom download" and I am sure you will find it from there. As for what files to keep well, after downloading the rom, you will probably have to unpack it wit winrar or winzip. After that just keep the .GBA file like TirthRR said and delete the original download or anything else that came with it.

no$gba doesn't support loading from within archives no.

Yes, precisely. You can only load the .GBA rom file with no$gba. I've already have done it. Hope it helps.

Well, I just really redownloaded it from here and got the GBA file and it works fine so far, but thanks. Hey Jiminy this's the second time you've helped me, any of ya' want any games PM me! Thanks!

anandjones · #6no$gba doesn't support loading from within archives no.

I beg to differ, try remaining the .zip .rar or whatever to .gba
Certain files you'll find work LOL
Technically not the same but aha! Saves me from having to unzip

Won't work at all.

Oh, well, that clears up a lot of confusion. About that retarted thing I said earlier of downloading it here, sorry about that, it was my ignorace talkin', but I know now so yeah. Sorry. I thought it was weird that it worked from here. Anyway, thanks everyone.
