this makes no sense

first of all, the droid won't let you download these roms because it doesn't recognize the file (although you can hack around it by using 'Download Crutch Lite' app)

second, 'astro' is an astronomy program, kinda like google sky, what this has to do with roms i have no idea...


what does work is just downloading the roms using your regular computer and dumping in a directory somewhere on your sd

Why must you jump the gun? Give it a try first before you post.

BTW it works. It's sweet when Super Mario Music starts blasting from my Droid while I'm at work. THANKS haha.

OK first, I said in the how to that u may need to download crutch to enable ur phone to download roms. Second, astro is file download program letting u extract the zip file that u downloaded. Sorry I did not specify astro download manager. Everyone that has tried this how to has had no problems using it. Try it out before criticizing something u are not knowledgeable about. You can download roms st8 to ur phone without a computer and play games. Its not that hard

Hey, ive downloaded three emulators (SNES, NES, Gameboid) and downloaded a few roms with my computer and placed the roms on my SD card, but the files do not appear when I try to open in the correct emulator. All have no files.

i tried searching astro it didn't come up with the file manager, weird... anyways, you don't need to unzip them as most emulators take zips directly...

sorry, didn't notice you mentioned crutch

Just follow the directions given on first post exactly and you will find the roms. You dont need to use a computer to download the roms. I've never done it that way. Everything was done with my phone.
