Need help if you don't mind...

Post by KT_Cobra »

Hey everyone. I need some help. I just recently downloaded one of my favorite games of all time - Zelda A Link to the Past. I can't get it to open. When it asks me to select which program I want to use to open it with I, of course, select ZSNES. When I try to open it, however, the mouse arrow turns into an hour glass for about a half of a second and then turns back into an arrow and NOTHING HAPPENS. The game does not open. Can someone help me with this? I've been using ZSNES for a couple of years now a LOVE IT! I'm so glad some GOOD folks put these games on the internet. Thank you and thanks to whomever can help me with this problem. :wink:

My assumption here is that you have downloaded the game that's not in .zip format. If you're using a format that is .rar or .7z, it's simply not going to work. Extract the contents of the compressed file and open the rom that way.

Open ZSNES, and go to [Game] -> [Load] and find the ROM. I can recommend putting it in the same folder as ZSNES.

[EDIT]: Beaten to it, damn.

Hmm...

Actually, it was a download that I had to extract to a folder so it was a zip file at first. It just won't open. Maybe it's the file...? Do you know where I can find Zelda A Link to the Past rom that works, if this is the case?

There's a fair chance it is the file. In any case, we won't help you find the rom, sorry.

No. We don't. DON'T ASK FOR ROMS.

Because this post main topic *isn't* just asking for roms, I'll keep it open.

But asking for ROMS is against the RULES.

Edit.- Looks like Deathlike2 locked it.. Oh well.
*Sometimes I edit my posts just to correct mistakes.

Mmm.. you could unlock this if you want, but just reading "rom request" put me in lock mode.
