I tried to upload .zip files to Visual Boy Advance, but it says: File type not supported. What do I do? :(
Maybe the files inside the .zip file isn't the correct format. Check it and tell us what extension it is.
I think it is .nfo (Man, I suck at this :happy: ) I aren't supriced if I'm completly wrong.
.nfo is not a valid GBA ROM extension. I think it's some sort of info file like if the ROM is unprotected, the release team, dumpers, cracks, etc. Just info.
You probably downloaded this from a release site. These sites have all files from a GBA release, except for the ROM itself!
Just try downloading GBA games elsewhere (do NOT ask where). 99% of the GBA games will have the extension .gba.
Good luck :)
how big is the file?Quote:

open the nfo with notepad, how many files are there inside the archive?
try unzipping the file first then opening the .gba file on vba
Ok, now I'm sure it's an .zip file, but when I try to start it, a pop-up says: "No image found on zip file" and when I press ok another comes up who says: Unsupported file type. It's just something wrong with the Emulator? But I can play .gba files on it...

Can you open the ZIP file properly?
are you able to extract it?
perhaps its in some form of Compression [like deflate] which I think the emulator doesn't support]
or maybe the zip has a password
please try to EXTRACT the ZIP then play the GBA file on VBA directly
then ZIP again [if it works] with normal settings
I know this may seem a really stupid and n00bish question, but please bare with me.. and i thought that this was a relevant thread to put it in.
Where can you download the games?
I've downloaded the actaully VisualBoyAdvance, but can't find any games..
Thanks.
Don't ask for ROMs as stated in FORUM RULES! :cool:Quote:
