I have the pocket nes on my supercard by how do i use it to play nes games?

[ShinaKitsune]

why did you just make a new thread for this rather than posting your already existing one.
plus nesDS is very nice, use that instead. the supercard also has a (crappy) built in nes player.

but I have a GBA so how does that work with nes games

[ShinaKitsune]

the supercard still has a built in nes player. plus most every homebrew comes with instructions.
its usually just open the program and navigate to the nes game....

[emblem4ever]

but whenever I load a nes game the screen just goes white?

[ShinaKitsune]

when you just try to open a .nes game? do you have a .sav of the same name?
like mario.nes and mario.sav?
or are you talking about your pocketnes thing because that might have to be patched (via the homebrew magic patcher thing) to work... but don't quote me i haven't worked much with the gba side of the supercard.

Doesn't matter if your not that experienced, I appreciate you helping me, anyway I have a .sav file of the same name but I think I do need the magic patcher thing, do know where i can access it?

but it looks like thats only for DS stuff...
reading the pocket nes readme...

PocketNES v9.98
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

It's a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) emulator for the GameBoy Advance.
But you already knew that, didn't you?

Getting Started
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Before you can use PocketNES, you need to add some NES roms to the emulator.
You can do this with various tools (Thingy, NEStoGBA, etc.) found at
http://www.pocketnes.org/downloads.html.  Older tools (made for v7a) should
work fine, as long as you don't use any "SRAM slot" settings, as they aren't
needed anymore.
Make sure your flashing software allocates 64kByte/512kbit SRAM for PocketNES.

looks like you need NEStoGBA which isn't listed on the site...
it links to http://www.pocketnes.org/tools/pnesmmw12a.zip (from pocketnes.org/downloads.html) which looks easy to use.

should all be in the various readme.txt in the zip archives on how to use both of these.

thanks a lot!! you've been a lot of help! I'll go through all the sites you gave me and try to figure it out, if I have a problem I'll post again. Thanks!

Okay so I'm very close to playing nes games on my SC. I used the pocketnes program to convert all my nes roms into one .GBA file, but then when I load on my supercard I don't know what or how to load the games from the pocketnes file. How do I solve this?

[ShinaKitsune]

uh.. run pocketnes.gba? it should have a browser and everything..
