So. There is a rom on a certain cite that, when I download it and try to play in on my emulator, it doesn't work. I'm not an expert with computer language, but it's an exe type file. I understand it needs to be gb, gba, or gbc to work of VisualBoyAdvance, but I need help on how to change it to that.
I made a folder on my desktop called Emulation, and inside that is a folder called Visual GameBoy with both the emulator and the rom. This helps make the path easier, right?
I'm just very confused on why it won't work.
When I drag the file into the VBA (VisualBoyAdvance) file, it gives me this windows popup error message:
C:\Users\Cameron\Desktop\Emulation\Gameboy\Brothersoftdownloader_for_Pokemon_Crystal_version_for_GBC.exe.
Should I just try to find a better rom? I hate having to download stuff of random sites, so I'd really rather try to fix this problem than find another rom. Of course, if this problem is unfixable, then I'll look for a different one.
Thanks!
Edit: When I change the file type by simply renaming it with the ending ".gb" or ".gbc" it doesn't give me the error message any more, but all it shows it a blank white screen on the emulator.
