Big Problem With Fire Emblem And Pokemon Emerald

[Insane Gamer]

Whenever I try to open either games on my visualboy advance(ver.1.7.1)
It says: Error reading image trm-fess. gba
:yucky: :yucky: :yucky: :yucky: :yucky: :yucky: :yucky: :yucky: :yucky:

Maybe this dump is a bad one? (I found it via google, 672 KB (688,128 bytes) you might want to remove the name from your post just in case...) It locks up the emulators I tried, VBA 1.7.2 and no$gba so it's likely a bad dump.

1. Update your VBA: http://board.zsnes.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2248

2. You'll need to set the savetype to Automatic + Flash 128k for Pokemon Emerald to work.

3. Both games work fine for me.

it still doesnt work i tried ver.1.8.0 beta and it still doesnt work
Maybe i need to unzip the file?
If I do need to how do I zip a file...

 

[Clements]

In that case, you probably do not have a rom at all. Unzip it and post the GBA Tool Advance output. Do not use any of the other options.

want my opinion? bad dump

 

[Insane Gamer]

ok i downloaded the gba tool thing now what..
And I know this is a newbie question but: How in the world do you unzip a file -.-

 

[Clements]

Download just about any archiving program. I use WinRAR.

Windows XP also has a built-in extractor.

 

[Insane Gamer]

Well I don't think my ROM is really a ROM. I tried searching on google but none of the websites contained one that works and some take too long to download...

 

[Insane Gamer]

And my comp have biultin extractor but both my files have nothing to extract

 

[Miretank]

i think its better you to erase that adress you wrote and don't ask for roms here please

 

[Clements]

You are not allowed to ask for sources of roms or reveal sources of roms on this website since it is against the rules and is also illegal to do. I suggest you edit your post.

The correct CRC's and sizes for the US roms according to the latest nointro dat file are:

Fire Emblem - The Sacred Stones (U) - a47246ae [16MB]
Pokemon Emerald (U) - 1f1c08fb [16MB]

Once you learn how to get at your rom that is.

 

[Insane Gamer]

Well is it possible for me to change that? Cuz my fire emblems size is 8MB
and the CRC is different too. Should i get another one?

Yes you should get another one
