#1

Hi,

I search the information anywhere without finding a FAQ explaining how to run Nintendo games.

I se that he had put the following files in the repéretoire /storage/system :

  • disksys.rom
  • nstdatabase.xml

i have load a Nestopia Core, and after Information -> core information :. i can see the status : Present, required

But when i launch a NES game, the game is kill and i can return into the lakka interface

How can i play a NES Game ? Can i have a possibility to see log to understend why NES game don’t work ?

Regards

Certainly a header problem.

Let get the roms from the no-intro romset from 2016-01-03_Fixed

#7

yeah !!! thanks a lot for your help

i have tested with a no-intro romset from 2016-01-03 and works perfectly !

#8

Good. We need to make a page on our wiki that tells what versions of the roms are supported.

#9

So…NES games/emu need BIOS files too?!?

#10

No, NES ROMs need a header on each ROM that tells the emulator how to load the game. No-Intro (a group that releases sets of ROMs that we base our databases on) got a little overzealous awhile back and removed the headers, making the ROMs un-emulate-able.

The BIOS and NstDatabase.xml are necessary for Nestopia core to run Famicom Disc System games.
