I think you can play Famicom games on any NES emulator

I try that but the R4 won't find the files and when I try to change them to .NES I get a frozen screen. Is there something I'm missing?

I know HVCA for the GBA can run *.fds files if you have the DISKSYS.ROM file present when building your compilations, but obviously that won't work on your R4.

There's a way to use an IPS patch file to play SMB2, though I'm not sure if it's allowed by the forum rules since it does involve an NES rom, despite it being only an IPS patch file.

I know what your talking about but what file do you need? I thought it was a EXTREMELY rare smb2 japanese file. Unfortunately, the only place I have one is in a turrent and I don't know how to open the turrent.

The file you're looking for is "Super Mario Bros 2 (J) [P1].nes" which might also be improperly named ""Mario and Luigi (SMB1 Hack) [a1].nes" This can then be patched with an IPS patch file for usage on the GBA and DS.

Torrents are not archive files or anything. *.torrent files are merely lists of data saying "Hey, so-and-so has these specific files, here's how to get them!" You merely open the torrent file in a Bittorrent client to download the actual data you're looking for. I'd recommend using uTorrent, and I'd also recommend reading some FAQs about torrents if you're serious about it, including things such as port forwarding (very important) and bandwidth throttling.

Personally I mostly just use torrents for grabbing large files like Linux distros, which puts much less strain on the server when you've got all the peers sharing amongst themselves while downloading.

I really don't want to get any more specific than this, and I fear I might have already crossed the line, in which case I apologize.

Should have known it was too good to be true. The patch has a lot of problems with it....

1. After the 3rd world there shouldn't be ANY green pirhana plants, only red. There's several green in the later worlds!

2. The green springboard is red instead of green.

3. THE STARS DON'T APPEAR WHEN YOU BEAT THE GAME THEREFORE WORLDS A, B, C, AND D AREN'T ACCESSIBLE!!

Seriously, wtf!!!!! I was looking so foward to having the original on my R4, now I learn that this idiot who made the patch did it all wrong, so that the game is easier and that the 4 extra worlds can't be obtained!!

Try RockNES if you want to play them on a PC.
MedafenX on Xbox works perfectly as well.

As for DS, all i can say is Super Mario Bros 2 (J).nes ///dgemu///
