Umm...

Well ive tried looking through the tutorial section and technical help sections, but im completely new at this stuff. does anyone noe where i can find a guide thatll tell me how to do everything from scratch ie. what i need, what to do in what order etc etc just to get started(i currently have no knowledge about this stuff whatsoever^^)? >_>

...You can start by telling us what your planning to run...All we know is your asking for something we don't know.But the common issues thread is one good place to start...though it won't tell you what to do for specific flash carts...

can someone just tell me step by step what to do to play rune factory 2? :X
suggest stuff with download links-exact ones cus im too stoopid to noe which one to pick.
sry i noe i sound really noob >_>

or whatev. is that in the common issues? >_>

Emulator:
A program for your computer that mimics a game system to allow you to play games on your computerFlashcart:
A device that connects to your Nintendo DS that allows you to play homebrew, backups, and downloaded games on your DS.

Look up "no$gba 2.6" via google and get that.The rest...I forgot but I may remember later.

Just go into the Common Issues thread and download No$GBA 2.6a
It works well without any added configuration. Later issues can be resolved with a bit of tweaking.

i ran the exe file, and picked the game, but it comes up with:

Turn the power OFF and reinsert
the Game Card.

Answers in that thread...I know it's alot but it is covered in there, I read it myself.

It is in big text, even scroll it down quickly will be able to notice it..
(well.. not that big really.. )

wait... what is it telling me to do? >_>
is it this?:
EMULATOR: Go to the Emulation Settings, and change NDS backup save media accordingly, and reset, until you do not receive the errors. If you want it a bit easier, you can get no$gba 2.6a, which has a Auto option, which automatically chooses the right type according to the game, which makes a lot more easier. If this method does not work, simply wait for a new release of the emulator you are using, or resort to using another emulator for the time being (iDeaS etc.)should i just use an emulator other than No$gba 2.6 then?

I might work if you change the settings...try it first.

settings... *cough* where *cough*also... could this have anything to do with it?:
Errors per second -- 77
Total Errors -- 540
Low Power Mode -- Okay
Multiboot Support -- Unsupported (file too large)
Quality Rating -- Good (better than most GBA games)Post Merge: [time]1261237383[/time]
oh its working! O_O

... have you downloaded the no$zoomer?

For the last part...Try changing the sound settings :)Worth a go...but keep in mind the audio might not be perfect since it's emulating a tiny sound on a large speaker...Ever listened to the sound pikachu makes from the gba games on a sub woofer?HORRIBLE!

Well, at least you can hear "chu~~"..As I said, if you are using no$zoomer, try using the Noise Suppresion option.

Thanks guys u helped a lot :D
