Homebrew help using lameboy on ds

[gary2010]

iv just put lameboy on my ds it loads up and finds the roms but when i try to play them it goes on the loading screen then goes back to the list of games on the log it says unknown mbc type od whats does this mean anyone know?

Are you sure the gameboy roms you try to run are actually good?

 

[gary2010]

they were from ---LINK REMOVED--- i had to change the .7z on the end of the name to .gb or .gbc to get the lameboy to find the games then when i try to load them the loading bar would go up then it would go back to the page with the roms listed

Why would you change it to ".gb or .gbc"?
Are you playing a regular NDS game or a GameBoy game?
Because if you're trying to play a NDS game, it has to be a .nds file.

.7z extensions mean that they're zipped files. Download 7-zip and after installing it on your computer you can open the archive. There you'll find the .gb\.gbc files you need.

i cant unzip them i think they are alredy unziped...when i right click it it says my winziplocker i think that means it can be zipped which i dont want to do

Once you've installed 7 zip (and changed your files back to *filename*.7z) you right click on the file and do the following:

Or you can click on "Open Archive". That might be a better option since you might have multiple files in your zip file.
