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 ;)
 
I'm a new noob when it come emulators and such but since so many people are into them I was wondering. Whats the benefits of them and what are they all about?
 
cool cool. and from my understanding u must download an emulator first before getting specific games. correct?
 
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

I'm actually new to VBA/links and was wondering how do i find people to trade with. i have 2 networks of my own Pokemonforever22 and pokestars. I have found one person to trade with so far that's it. I'm using hamachi.
 
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?
