Im looking for advice on how to and where to get roms to play on the emulators supplied on several of the gp2x related sites. For example I wanna use MAME or squidgesnes 0.37a, maybe even the megadrive/mastersystem emulator -- thats all fine n dandy, I can start those on me GP2X --- but where the hell do I get the games? Hahahaha. Everyone is wittering on about here is the emulators have fun, but I cant find the source for the games to use in conjunction with the emulators advertised.
Please, Im in desperate need and Im a GP2X fan and newbie. What a combination =)
Anything you can do to help me would be deeply appreicated, Im losing my mind trying to find these damn games and to get them working. I found a game from romworld.com for MAME -- but when I put the game in the roms folder insider the MAME folder which is on my SD card which is in my GP2X. It keeps saying Error: no games found. BUT IT'S RIGHT THERE!
On my gp2x sd card my folder for my MAME emulator is:
Games/MAME/
And my roms folder is:
Games/MAME/roms
I assume this is right, and each game in the roms folder has its own folder too. So for the practice game lets say 1946 or w/e, it'd be :
Games/MAME/roms/1946/
Why aint this working, why cant it find my games? And where do I download the appropriate roms for squidgesnes.... Im also looking for the roms compatible to gp2x for sonic/mario/anything like that. Of course I'll use each in conjunction with the applicable emulator.
Many Thanks Guys.
