Agozer Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 From the official homepage, naturally: http://www.vba-m.com/ It's bundled with a vba-over.ini file that already has lots of settings for various games, including Pokemon games. Don't know if LeafGreen's in there though
TDWPgtp Posted December 6, 2010 Author Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) fair enough ha. so next question then, since you appear to be willing to help... what do i do to open the file? it says that windows needs to know what program to open it.. (and yes, i know i am helpless at this stuff) Edited December 6, 2010 by TDWPgtp
Agozer Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 I sorta kinda figured you'd run into this since the archive is 7-zipped. Both WinZip and WinRAR can work with 7-Zip archives, or if you're feeling adventurous, download and install the official 7-Zip Archiver (Google it).
TDWPgtp Posted December 20, 2010 Author Posted December 20, 2010 okk so i downloaded 7-zip archiver...now what? haha
Agozer Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Sorry, you'll have to figure that one out yourself, I don't use 7-Zip. What I can say though that it really isn't rocket science. Read the documentation that comes with the program if you can't figure it out just by staring at the main program window.
TDWPgtp Posted December 20, 2010 Author Posted December 20, 2010 welll i did what i was told (and what i thought i should do) and i keep getting a system error when i try to open th file. it says d3dx9_42.dll is missing from my computer... what do i do?? p.s. if i have any more problems im just giving up, but i appreciate your help
Agozer Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 You haven't got the latest DirectX redistributable package installed. Either go to Microsoft's site and download the DirectX updater, or download 3d3x9_42.dll file separately from a DLL archive and put it in VBA's folder.
TDWPgtp Posted December 21, 2010 Author Posted December 21, 2010 awesome! i finally got the vba to work! now, next question... can i use the existing game files that i have on the computer to start new save files, or do i need to download new games? if so, where do you recommend i get them from
Agozer Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 No, you don't have to download new games. Think about what you're asking for a moment - wouldn't it feel a bit stupid and backwards if different console emulators or different versions of the same emulator (that emulate the same console, for all intents and purposes) needed different ROMs to function? We are not telling where to get ROMs. When in doubt, read the board rules.
