Opening NDS ROMs with DeSmuME

[color=purple][b]Ok, I'm trying to get DeSmuME be the standard program to open my *.nds files, but it's goddamn stressing me out. It just isn't working, every time I select DeSmuME as the program it selects Adobe Reader 9.1 for some goddamn weird reason. I'll show you:

Spoiler: Right now, it says: 'Open with: Adobe Reader

Spoiler: I clicked on change and I got into the the directory where the DeSmuME.exe is.

Spoiler: I select DeSmuME.exe and click on Open, but nothing happens!

[color=purple][b]Nothing happens, can someone help me? 'Cause now my *.sav files, *.gba files and my *.nds files are Adobe Reader files.

Something like this happened to me before, but they turned into different files. What i did is delete the "main file" eg. If my files changed from a .sav to lets say a "ips file" and there's Lunar Ips on my computer i delete that and then restart the computer. I did this method and it got them back to normal.EDIT: Just remembered my .nds files turned into some sort of nitroexplorer file.

I had the same problem a while ago, when I was trying to ''clean'' my laptop and put everything in folders. When I put the DeSmuMe folder in a ''NDS'' folder, I couldn't select it as standard program. When I put it back in ''My documents'', it worked again.
Hope this also fixes it for you ;)

I think you need to reset the file assosiation for that files back to windows default then try again.I used a program a while back that "broke assosiations".Then all your games files will be unknown file types,then you tell windows to open them with that desume program.

what OS are you using and what is the full path to desmume?

Hmm, I used to have this issue with NES Roms opening with Audacity...What I did to fix it was DL a new rev of the emulator (I use FCEUX) and put its folder in program files. It would let it run then.

Loonylion · #5what OS are you using and what is the full path to desmume?

I'm using Windows 7, and the full path is
C:\Users\Bas\Downloads\Games v3.0\Pokémon Black and White\Emulator\desmume-0.9.6-win64

You could also tryorb>control panel>default programsand try the first option,and if it dont work,then the second option.
