    Hmmm, sounds like a .sav file your talking about... Bring "properties" on the file and make sure "Read-only" is checked off - otherwise it can't overwrite it. Hope this helps.

    EDIT: Windows 2000 does this automaticlly on me everytime. High security is a pain sometimes...

    Forgot to meantion: make sure "Hidden" is checked off also. VBA seems to not like when you do so...

    That's a save file, not the game itself. Make sure that you found the game which is around 3MB and above of size.

    Sounds like a torrent file, though not sure of the file extention you have. If so, you need: http://www.utorrent.com/ to open it.

    ignore this post - Got confused there.

    Alright, just found that setting "Save Type" to: "Flash 128k" for larger games seems to allow them to run, though a bit laggy. See if that works.

    EDIT: Globe still having problems of getting it too run, but all I did was mess with the "Flash" size and now it runs, though lags a bit, though never really perfected the EMU speed wise, don't play it much. Got it for Link's Awakening and Metroid 2. Old schooler here. I have the video set at 640x480 on Direct3D though "openGL" might work better for others, though actually faster. All I got for now. Maybe someone can finish it from here.
