Ok. Was you able to get it to work then? The rom should be found in the download file which is located in the sd file. I'm not sure why some people are having problems with method. Alot of people have had lots of success with how I explained it. I guess you could always use the computer method but this way just seems better for me and faster.

I got the roms working and i started trying to play super mario brothers but i can't figure out how to get the a and b button on the screen so i can jump and what not, any help?

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

Hey,

im afraid youre wrong, They talk about ASTRO File manager.

Once the game is on screen, press menu button on phone, select settings, scroll down to virtual keypad and check it. There ya go for the directional pad. I use the A and S button on the key pad for the A and B button. Not sure if those can be put on the screen.

Use astro to find the file, hold your finger on it till the options popup, choose edit, then delete. =)

I've still been using nesiod. Been working fine. Maybe try to delete and redownload it.

long-press the link and select "save link". the browser is trying to read the file by opening it in a browser session.
