Can't open PocketNESter

acsurfer · 03-13-03, 11:32 AM

Help! I'm trying to download PocketNESter and when I try to open it with winzip I get this error message.

"The WinZip Wizard cannot open this file; it dose not appear to be a valid archive. If you downloaded this file, try downloading it again. If you want to add the file to an archive, first create or open the archive, then drop the file again"

I'm new to all of this, I don't know what they mean by archive or how to create one.

OK I got it to download from this sites downloads.

Now on my X5 when I open the file all I get is a black screen.

What do I do now...Thanks

when you have pocketnester open, click file, then select open rom adn select the rom you wanna play. that's it!

Thanks red-i

I did that and yeah it opened something. In one drop window (Folder; All Folders) and in the drop window below that it says
Type; NES (*.nes;*.zip) but nothing shows below that. Do I have to download games into there? I'm not sure how to do that.

:rolling: why isn't anything easy:rolling:

I just made a roms directory in my compact flash card and put all the roms in there, and it shows up fine when i go to open a rom in pocket nester. try that.

I got it to work. I did "simple searching on Google for "NES ROMS"
and now I know what to do.
