Homebrew Games And Emulation. I'm A Noob.

[ender310]

Hey, thanks for taking the time to read through, I'll be thorough.

I got my Caanoo a few days ago; but, I'm having a couple of problems.

First, I can't get the homebrew games to show up under the "Games" tab of the menu, I have to search for them using the Explorer, which is a little upsetting. I assume I'm doing something wrong when I transfer the game over to my Caanoo. Can anyone tell me the proper way for downloading homebrew games onto the Caanoo?

Second, I got the hang of the Dr. PocketSnes Emulator, but I really want to play Neo-Geo games on the Caanoo, I've uploaded an emulator before but I couldn't get it to run properly; same for the GameBoy Advance emulator. Can anyone help me with those?

Oh, and can anyone recommend a good NES emulator to run?

Appreciate all and any help received.

For the games not showing up in the Games folder you have to transfer the .ini file along with the folder that holds the game data. Both go in the Games folder on the sd card.

The NeoGeo and GBA emulators both require bios files to work. Unfortunately, you'll have to find those online as we can't post those on the forums. They're easy enough to find with Google though.

Ask again if you have anymore problems.

Oh, thanks, I finally got Tyrian to work through the "Game" tab.

If you download the emu pack, you have an example how to properly setup applications with .ini files, icons and titles...
