To connect it to your computer, you need to put the xrom in your GBA, use the xrom cable and plug it in the back of the GBA, and then connect the other end of the cable to the usb port... I use LittleWriter to transfer the ROMs to the xrom.

You'll probably need the xrom drivers too... here:

Please avoid typing like a 3 year old at a broken keyboard in some nursery... It makes you look like, well, a 3 year old at a broken keyboard in nursery.
Anyway, just rename the file. That should work as long as the file extensions for .nds aren't being hidden.
To unhide them go into Folder Options and uncheck the box that says 'Hide Known File Extensions'

Actually, he can't just rename it, he'll need to find a generic patcher program. Something like the one from WRG.

Next time, please specific what TYPE of roms you want to run when you ask, falseadress

what is the program called?
the one from WRG.

I am using a keyboard that is broken.  :lol:

Yeah, Mario Kart DS is most definitely a DS commercial game, not a GBA one.  You'd have to use LoadMe by WRG or NDS Patcher.  Make sure you disable all loaders on the card and that this is the only thing you flash to your XRom.  It might not work anyway.  I don't have any experience with either of these two programs.  According to the NDS Loader page, MKDS does not work with it.

i know that nds loader dosen't work with it but how bout the loadme?
im pretty good with using the x-rom thing .

I have a xrom512 and yes you can play commercial "backup" gba roms on it. I prefer the litterwriter program (slow but works).

I recommend using the 1.084 rc.

The xrom help forums is down (forever i guess). So here is a site that can help you install the drivers etc..

Here is the site also to get the latest software for xrom (1.084rc) at the bottom of the page.

I will look at home tonight and see if i still have the xp installation guide from the easybuy forums.

Well i never fully read thru the postings so this reply is kind of a waste but will leave if anyone else needs help with an xrom512.
