How do i rum ROM's on vista?

Posted by Eltelelel - November 21st, 2007


i want to run emulators on vista to run roms and the problem is, save states arent working cause lets face it, sonic 1 cannot be beaten without save states. i found this nice revamped custom rom o0f sonic 1 and i want to play it but i am not going to play it without save states. do you suppose there are any vista compatible roms?

Nothing is really Vista compatible....

thanks for your help

I've got Vista & all of my roms work fine & it says nothing about Vista compatible stuffs.

Ether your computer sucks, you've got a bad emulator, or rom, or there's something wrong.

Hes right actually, Vista needs patch programs for EVERYTHING. From Wi-Fi things ( The nintendo USB one) to printers and even GH3 and most games except halo 2, I would just wait one more year (It aint that long, trust me) and go check out the Emu community then. Or. Get XP.

i do not have a usb cuntroller so i should not have bothered asking how i can get emus to work. also woo its just like a friday except its wednesday! im gonna do all the fun stuff in my room till i pass out

dude, dump vista and go back to xp for another year, like ProBo said, almost nothing is compatible with vista

i cant go back to xp -.-

You think I posted a link on something on your blog? I dont think I did. Sorry.

then it probably wasnt you

you can go back to XP, but you need to go to altex or your local pro-comp shop to get it done. XP costs about 120$ which is good considering all the stuff you can use with it. be sure to check that out. there may be hope for you yet. XD

are you fucking joking me? $120?

not fucking worth it, not fucking worth it

this is why vista sucks and i love mac
but i dont think roms have to do with vista.
just got to File>Save state...and your done. what's the problem?

it says i dont have permission even though i have administrative access

I think I might know!
If you bought a disc & put Vista over your XP then I can see why it's messing up.

I have never seen a computer work right if you put a higher version over an old one.

i got vista brand new on my super laptop so thats not the problem

right click on the shortcut for the program choose run as admin itll let you after that

thank you so much! i can now do quick save and load states on my emulator and it saves in the same folder as the genesis emulator.

p.s. AAHHHH!!!! UGLY SHAPE TWEENS!!!! :-O

its my first animated GIF so what do you expect? ;)

have you tried running the emulator in XP compatability mode? I've had a handful of programs that won't run unless they're I use it, but work fine when I do, although I haven't used any console emulators in vista.

well the problem has already been solved
