New ROM! (Nightwulf, you rule...)

[Dryden]

NesEm is the one you want, the full version, as the ROM is 260k to get it to run (it only correctly runs the overstuffed ROM, don't know why that is...)

[nightwulf]

Yeah, you'll need the non-Lite version. Even the "normal" ROM is 96k, and uses the MMC3 mapper (mapper number 4 in iNES notation; the Lite version only supports mappers 0 and 3).

I really wish theirs was an open source project; I'm dying to know why the 96k ROM won't work.

Thanks to Dryden I have the NesEm.  But where is the RBI ROM?  Help.

Vitb6...this is turning into the battle of the idiots: me v. you, for I have the exact same question.  

[Vitb6]

I can't get the NesEm to work on my PDA though.  It says, "NesEm requires at least PalmOS version.

Does it work for you?

[Glassjoe]

In all honesty, I haven't tried yet.  I'll let you know when I do, though.

What is an overstuffed ROM?

[Glassjoe]

Thanks to Dryden I have the NesEm.  But where is the RBI ROM?  Help.

I was able to install the trial version of NesEm.  But I can't seem to get a rom to hotsync to my palm.

Dryden...can you please post a ROM on this thread that I will be able to hotsync to my Palm Tungsten E and play?  Ideally, I'd like the original RBI (nintendo and arcade).

[Glassjoe]

Everytime I try to install a ROM or the NesEM RomInstaller, my Hotsync Log says "Install To Card synchronization failed."

Please help??!

[Dryden]

OK, I'll try talking louder and slower...

In the Rom installer zip file there is a program called nes2pdb.exe.  This is the only program you actually need.  From a command prompt, run nes2pdb.exe RBI.nes (or whatever the nes ROM you want to put on your palm is called).  This adds a small header to the nes file that lets it be synced to the palm as a pdb.  Sync this file to your palm and you should see it appear in nesem.

To answer your earlier question, the "overstuffed" ROM contains duplicate copies of all of the data in RBI, that's why it's so big.  See http://dee-nee.com/rbi/roms/ for more information - it's the overstuffed licensed ROM.  At least on my palm, this is the only rom that will run properly (or edits of this rom, such as my all-time teams rom).  The regular 96k rom will not work correctly.

Hope this helps.

I WILL KILL MYSELF!  I finally got over my retardation and got it all working--only to get the message "Sorry, the preview edition is limited to 40KB or smallers roms."

I HATE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
