OK... I am sorry for being a total n00b, but... Help?

I'm going to get laughed at for this, but... I downloaded no$gba from its homepage, and got a supposedly confirmed working copy of Pokemon Diamond.

The problem is... I can't get no$gba to recognize, well, anything. When I click the exe the very first thing it asks for is GBA ROM Images. When I /do/ select a GBA ROM... A bunch of windows/system32/command.com windows flash by, and then I get a 'Cartridge Not Found' error message and the whole thing closes.

The website doesn't really say anything about how to set it up, neither does the readme. And I can't look at the emulator's official forum because very time I ever tried to get to it, it was down.

What was I supposed to do to make this thing work? >_>

if you're trying to open a zipped file, forget about it, no$gba can't open completely (even showing them at file select window)

and yeah, no$gba has the crappiest GUI of all emulators i think, when it gonna change? dunno, ask the developer.

...That'd explain it. They were zipped. >_> Though now I need to figure out how to set it up for DS games so I can try Diamond before I start saving for that and a DS.
But I'll search the forums for that. Thanks!

ya u should search but ehh it worked plus this emulator is not as good as vba as it needs no bios plus is faster and some games like mission impossible and driver 2 work and finish only in VBA (1.8)
