new. Can't get ds games to work.

deanh22a · April 22nd, 2008

I downloaded the most recent version for windows and none of my ds games will load. I always get the error that says "unable to read data. Turn off the power and re insert the game card." they're in nds format and they're all listed on the compatible games list. These roms work on other emulators (but not very well), so I'm probably not doing something right. Do I need to change some settings or something to make them work?

obviously...search the forum for as to what they might be...

I did. I read the faq's and everything. i was hoping for some kind of getting started sticky. maybe I just missed what I'm supposed to be looking for.

There's a thread with almost exactly the name of the error which explains what's wrong....just search for it

ah... the part that answers my question was under the section "No$gba won't save my game. HALP". I would have found it right off the bat if I'd known that what I was looking for was there. I had originally just figured that section was only for save game problems and skipped through it. You could probably avoid more stupid questions if you specifically listed "Could Not Read Data and Save Types your answer is HERE !!!!!" or something similar for noobs to find easily in the faq.

As I said...there's a thread by that name...also as soon as another no$gba version comes out it will be redundant as 2.6a has autosavetype detection.
