when i load it, its all fine
then i scroll down the list of roms "very slowly and takes ages"
after it gets to around c-d rom names it freezes
what am i doing wrong?
thanks
 
mayby your download copy of the emu is shit
download it again and try again
 
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
 
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
Code:
md #
md a
md b
md c
md d
md e
md f
md g
md h
md i
md j
md k
md l
md m
md n
md o
md p
md q
md r
md s
md t
md u
md v
md w
md y
md z

move a*.gb? a
move b*.gb? b
move c*.gb? c
move d*.gb? d
move e*.gb? e
move f*.gb? f
move g*.gb? g
move h*.gb? h
move i*.gb? i
move j*.gb? j
move k*.gb? k
move l*.gb? l
move m*.gb? m
move n*.gb? n
move o*.gb? o
move p*.gb? p
move q*.gb? q
move r*.gb? r
move s*.gb? s
move t*.gb? t
move u*.gb? u
move v*.gb? v
move w*.gb? w
move x*.gb? x
move y*.gb? y
move z*.gb? z

move  *.gb? #

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
