Emu Games & Weird file name
I am new to the emu scene.
I have some of the old game systems & games
My perplexity is this:
I have dowloaded the SNES Emulator to my x50v
I have tried multiple ROMS & Sites but all I can do is unzip a ROM
to a temp folder on my pc.
I cannot copy to my ppc
The file usually has some weird & unrecognized extention
Could someone point me in the right direction?

Well, as you might know, commercial ROMS are illegal.
Free developed Hombrew ROMs are legal.
That's just for the understanding

ROMs do usually have the same extensions as their system like Gameboy Advance = file.gba or Nintendo Entertainment System = file.nes
If you have an Emulator on your PocketPC, you have to place the ROM e.g. in your Program folder on your device (or somewhere else the Emu can find it, if Emu uses gsgetfile.dll, you can place it anywhere).

Usually you then just have to open the file through the Emus selections menu and it'll start the emulation.

What problem is there with the transfer to your device?

You can not use the Emulators for the PC, only the ones coded for the Pocket PC will work (and there are also differences there, too like special versions for special devices like e.g. the one with support for x50v's 2700g)

You may want to view my EmuPage. It's German but it's the largest direct-download and up-to-date database for PPC Emus (although e.g. texts are not finished yet) and I'm working on an English version right now.

Thanks I'll see if I can get through your site and find something I can use.
When I unzip ROM file it won't let me drag it into my axim

Well, seems pretty strange cause it should be very simple to use ActiveSync for this transfer.
If you want, I can give you a freeware/hombrew ROM of mine for a system of your choice to check if you just got a corrupt file or if there is a general problem with your transfering process.
(It's pretty late here so cya in 9 hours then if you want ^^)
