after it gets to around c-d rom names it freezes

mayby your download copy of the emu is shit
download it again and try again

Could possibly be too many roms in the directory, how many have you got in there? :huh:

bout 1 gb worth of gbc, gb
well im redownloading it now, i've just noticed that u can skip twelve roms at once by pressing "right"
this should allow me to scroll thru bout 24 letters, bye bye q-z roms

Well, I might suggest trying 10 to 50 at a time and see how that works if the redownload doesn't help.

Or he could put them all in folders. Maybe an A - C folder, D - F, etc.,.. No clue if that will help at all, but it's worth a try.

What can you do with 1 gig of Gameboy/color roms.. i'm almost certain thats the cause of your gnuboy locking up

Yeah it helps a lot to put them into directories for each letter. If you're running windows, put your card in your card reader and put a this batch file in the dir with all the roms and run it.

Saves doing it by hand. (Linux people, don't make fun of me.) I know someone wrote a bash script, but I just did it in DOS.

Save it in notepad and rename it something like letters.bat

EDIT: Don't forget to run the batch file after you save it.

ok thanks for the advice
i re-installed it, but i figured out how to scroll thru 12 roms in 1 button which allowed me to get the the bottom of the list b4 it crashed
this script was exactly what iw as looking for a week ago to sort my snes roms out, i ended up doing it by hand, i might do same here but try this script
thanks for help

You can't possibly need 1GB's worth of GB/GBC roms. Damn.

It's possible. I play through (and beat) about 200 GB games a day!
