ROM Hack found roms in .exe format

[xjeremyx]

i'm working on a freshly formatted machine so i've yet to install my AVsoftware but it's seems that i need to do that as soon as i wake up. i thank you all for the re-affirmation of not to try it. i'm way skeptical when it comes to anything that doesn't have the default extensions on it, so that is why i asked. and i'm sorry about this becoming off topic. i do understand that it has derailed the course. having said that, i wished i'd have known that when i made the purchase, it seemed like there were people who loved all of the above carts. r4i was the one in stock that could get here in time. what a shame. again thanks for the heads up.

It's best to buy your games if you like them. I do certainly do. I even import many of them. This is what flashcarts are designed for. To play your backups. Not exactly for pirated copies that may be a virus.

Click it. If anyone is dumb enough to even ask this question, they deserve what they get.

If you want to try it still, even though its almost guaranteed to be a virus, Open it up in a virtual machine... If it is a virus it is confined in the virtual machine, then you can terminate it...

Your best bet is to redownload it though..

Good luck

the r4i seemed to be the wisest choice

You did not just say that.

It might be a self-extracting archive, if so you could try running it. But it may well be a virus, so just redownload it from somewhere else.

That's smart.
OR follow http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=94197 to dump your game, since you own it already, right?

Hey! I already said that he should get it somewhere else.
