Hi. I have bunch of NES, Gameboy & SNES roms, on my PC. What format do they need to be in, 'cos they're not in .bin format and/or how do I go about converting them so they work on the PSP?:confused:

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Okay. If I don't need to convert them, how come they don't even show up in the snes, nes emulators, let alone work?

you have to have them in the correct folders, make a folder inside the emulators folder called "roms".

Then put your games in there.

That usually does the trick :p

Lol. I've been doing that. What extension do the roms need to be in, when inside the zip file?

for n64 you need .v64 or another one which I forget. SNES is .smc. NES is .nes.

gameboy roms can either be .gb (regular gameboy games) or .gbc (gameboy colour games) or .gba (gameboy advanced games)
