    Have you extracted the files from the rar file?
    If not then it won't work.

    Every time I try to open PKMN Heart Gold for No$GBA it just says 'Cartridge Not Found'.

    I already have a thread pending concerning this matter.

    Help would be appreciated!

    :)

    I do hope you don't think that GBA ROMs speed up over 400%... 400% is maximum.

    I dont think it even goes up to that.....Those percent numbers up at the top barely even hit 100 for GBA ROMs, let alone 400....

    EDIT: If there is a way to crank the speed up for GBA Pokemon ROMS to the supposed 400%, I havent found it yet. Not even the Throttle thing works...

    I'm playing Pokemon Genesis, and I saved, and now it goes threw what I did, and just after showing me fight my rival, no$gba tells me "no4$gba fatal The rom image has crashed". So I looked here and went and downloaded DeSmuMe but I dunno how to install it. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Stop using DS emulators for III gen games and use VBA ;)

    • OK, this is a bit of a follow-up to my problems with speed for GBA ROMs. I went looking through the VBA Folder and found the Configuration Settings file and opened it. Is there something in there that I can modify to increase the base speed of the ROM?

    Anybody have a recommendation for a reliable GBA and DS emulator? I've been out of the loop for too long, and I would like to try some of these Poke-hacks you guys have made.

    VBA and DesMuME are the most recommended out there. I suppose I can't link you, though. You can search yourself, they're easy to find.

    That's fine, I found VBA, thank you kindly.
    Got the hacks working on my PC. Now I just need to figure out how to put them on a flash card. I bought one a while back to use it as an MP3 player, but ended up buying a DSi, rendering it useless. Now I have a use for it. Haha : D

    You think?
    I mean DeSmuME is good for new games but for old you can use No$GBA, since it's a bit quicker then DeSmuME even if both of them have "speed glitch".

    I was considering DeSmuME as an NDS emulator, not recommending it for older games, as vba is for that matter.

    I am having trouble with the NO$GBA Emulator. Everytime I click to open it, it tries to open up like a Rom file and wants me to open it up with something else. How do I fix this?
