rom wont work

Post by KeyLimePi » Sun Apr 01, 2018 12:11 pm

so, I got a new mintypi and was transferring roms when sudenly everything was going fine and dandy at the code screen and then it skipped to the press a to config part but instead of taking me to the title screen of the game, it just put me back at the game selection center. Help!

The rom is this btw: redacted

you can't be posting downloads for Roms/games on the forum
(this needs to be removed)


anyway....
theres nothing wrong with the rom/game file, it works (tested on lr-gpsp)....
your either running the wrong emulator or you don't have the correct bios (check those).....

Try to keep posts to a minimum, a forum is not a chat so don't keep posting every few minutes hoping someone will answer. If someone has an answer they'll respond to the thread, also do some research on roms and Retropi itself.

You need gba.bin if I'm not mistaken in the bios folder, not sure about any of this the Retropi Wiki has answers to all of this.
Chat with me and other members On Discord

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.
