PocketNES is a GBA NES EMU that began development over 10 years ago. Thankfully Dwedit (the current maintainer of the source) refuses to let this little emulator die. Please see the change log for more information about this release.

did you use the menu maker to inject some roms into the file?

How to use PocketNES, the basics

Since PocketNES runs on a Gameboy Advance from a flash card, and not from a hard drive with an operative system there are some things different from a regular emulator. Most importantly, you don't keep the .nes roms separately, but they are included in the same file with the emulator.
The basic idea is that you put PocketNES with all the .nes roms you want to play into one .gba rom file, and then select which game you want to play from a menu within the emulator.
If this all sounds complicated, fear not. There are tools to automate all this for you! Read on!

How to get PocketNES to work, the quick and easy way

-Download PocketNES Menu Maker from the downloads section.

Put all the files from the zip in the same directory with the nes roms you want to use and the pocketnes.gba. Double-click the pnesmmw.exe and click the "Make Rom" button. You should now get a PocketNESMenu.gba in that directory.

Flash this to your Flash Card and play!

There are also several other PocketNES menu creator programs out, see downloads. Read their respective documentation for info on how to use them.

Glad to see this getting some news coverage. It's a great emulator and works at least as well as most of those NOAC systems you see floating around the 'net. Long live the GBA! :)

    @RedColoredStars, but what is the game about?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @RedColoredStars, Never heard of it. Any good?
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    You control a kitten. You fall out the window and have to make your way back home. Solve some light puzzles, do cat things like knock stuff over and steal things, trip people up when theyre walking, pounce on birds, complete goals/tasks etc. in the process of getting back to your home.

    @RedColoredStars, I'm a cat person so this game must be for me. :D
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @RedColoredStars, sounds kinda neat
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    @SylverReZ It's short but adorable imo. Im a HUGE cat lover.Can be completed in a couple of hours if just going for the main goals. But can be stretched out a good deal by exploring and doing everything there is to do and see.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    So a man goes to the doctor because his boner wont go down. As he is laying in the hospital bed, with his thing propped up in the air, a fly is flying around and landing on the tip and bothering him, so he calls in the nurse. The nurse comes in, swats at the fly but can't quite reach it, so she climbs his boner to get better aim. After a few tries of swatting and sliding back down, she says sorry I cant get it. He says keep going, a few more tries, and I can shoot the fly down.
