Im not sure exactly what to do with the rom players on the Droid. Can someone tell me the steps . I saw the Rom for Pokemon Emerald mentioned in another thread and id like to start with that.
Is it the same process for all of the Players ?
thanks for your help......Im open to any comments that i may not know .

I'm assuming you want to use the Gameboid emulator, so here are the steps for that:
1) Download Gameboid from the Market.
2) Download the gba_bio.bin file on your computer (I got it here: gba_bios.bin)
3) Hook your Droid up to your computer with the USB cable, pull down the notifications window and select "USB connected" and then Mount.
4) Go to your SD card and create a folder (I used "games") and then a folder for your Gameboid bios and roms (I used "gameboid") so you have sdcard/games/gameboid.
5) Copy the gba_bios.bin into the gameboid folder.
6) Download .gba rom files for the games you want and put them in the same folder.
7) Turn off USB Storage, open gameboid, navigate to your gameboid folder and load the rom.
8) Start playing!

And if you want the Pokemon Emerald rom, just search Google for "pokemon emerald rom" and you should find it in the first few results.
I'm not sure for all of the emulators, but I don't think you have to download a bios for SNESoid or NESoid... all you have to do is add the roms to your SD card.

Your copy of the game might be messed up. I've got like 30 roms but 5 of them kick me back to my home screen. Just try searching for another version to replace that game.

I have a Motorola Droid & wanted the gba emulator light. & it told me to specify my BIOS. So then I downloaded it from a website, but now What? ? It still says I need to specify. Do I need a computer? Any way to do it without a computer?

Mount your phone onto your PC, go to your SD card, make a folder called "Games", in that folder make another one called "Gameboid". Put your .bin file in the Gameboid folder. When you get a rom for a game, put your rom into the Gameboid folder as well.

You can do it all using Astro File Manager if you don't want to use a computer. Steps are basically the same.
hey!! thanks it worked perfectly for me but 1 probllem ( cos i have a sony ericcson x10 it dosent have any keys and i dont know how to make it into a d pad !! please help!
Hi. I just got the Samsung Fascinate. This is my first smartphone, so i've never downloaded apps. Anyway, I downloaded a gba_bios.bin file and I created the subfolder "gameboids" inside the "game" folder and moved all the roms I downloaded to the gameboid folder. Now here's what happens
1) I open the gameboid app
2) it asks me to select a ROM and it presents a list of all my roms
/sdcard/games/gameboides
3) I select gba_bios.bin
4) the screen transitions to show a gameboy controller with buttons to click on (they vibrate)
5)This is where I get lost. I have no idea what to do afterward. I did everything but actually load the ROM.
Is there a way to load games back up without buying the full version? If not, is there another gba emulator that does do this? TIA
I believe the free version allows game saves, just no save states.

Just do a google search and you should be able to find at least one working link.
Emulation is not illegal. Having ROMS of games you don't own is. Luckily, however, the law doesn't bother near as much as it used to, with the most commonly emulated systems being dead.

That's why I got the game gripper. Not quite as nice, but much more compact / discrete.

Reason: Also: the legality of BIOS applies in the same way as ROMS

THANKS!!!
When you put the ROM into the gameboid folder, don't extract it. Keep the .zip file and it should work then. I know im like 2 months late and you must've figured it out by now but the info will help others hopefully.
hi just wanna ask. When i open that link you have written it just says "starting to download" and then it ask me what program i wanna open the file in, but when i choose a program it just open in VLC media player?
when i tried to click on gba_bio.bin it said that it was removed for violation of their terms of service... do u have any other suggestions about where i can download a different one?

when i clicked that i came up with the same response but there was still a download button on the page and it let me get the info anyways, try clicking download.

ok so I downloaded the snes emulator and a street fighter game. All works great thanks to the directions in this post. My only problem is the game comes up and says press start just like if I was on a snes, only problem is there is no start button. Is there anything I can do ?
OK have the Bionic and just installed gameboid and bios. Ive tried multiple different roms both extracted and not extracted ill get to the screen to load the rom and click on one then the screen will go black like the gameboid is going to start but then i either get kicked back to the load rom screen or my home screen. Do i have to change the filename of these roms to get them to work? Ir is my gameboid player at fault?

This is the forum for the Motorola DROID (the original, that came out right at 2 years ago).
You should be posting in the BIONIC forums, not here.
So im using a Garminfone Android and the main problem im having is that i cant create a folder for my SD card because my computer wont read the sd card thats in my phone. What would you suggest to fix this?
I can't get GBC AD to work. I made a new folder "Gameboy" on my SD card, put the gba_bios.bin, pokemon.GBA games and even tried leaving them with .zip extensions... either way I get unable to open ROM when I try to load them? The .zip folders are all that are visible in the emulator too, it doesn't even show the .bin or .gba files?
im running GBC A.D. for the emulator and using DroidEmuROMGet to get the roms. when i play pokemon yellow its in black and white. anyone know how to fix it to run in color?
help w/GBA Roms . how do i play them ?
( cos i have a sony ericcson x10 it dosent have any keys and i dont know how to make it into a d pad !! please help!
