There are no Emulators
-
@boneclaw exe is not a recognised ROM file for any emulator. Please read the documents!

So I need to find a GBA bios and a suitable Rom to get it working?
When i click on any of the 4 emulators, i cant download them i just get to a forumlike website. -

you already have the emulator. read your own first post.

@boneclaw That is not how you install emulators. Again, I suggest you do some reading. Until then I am unable to assist you any further. Good luck.

well i watch a few videos, and read some website, and all say i need to put the Rom in the folder for roms on the USB but whenever i download a rom its in the exe format, not GBA like its written in the link that u gave me.

Then it's the wrong ROM - the correct ones have the extension the docs mention or have a zip extension - they're an archive for the .gba rom inside.

@mitu i finally found a website that should have Roms with right datatyp (.gba is shown) and currently waiting until it has copied the file to the sd card in the raspberry
-
a rom that's an .exe is almost certainly a virus or something like that. i'd always wondered who gets caught out by those.
-
Well it worked with a rom that has .gba (2 Games, after changing the configurations a bit).
As i am quiet new to this (only used a Emulator on the mobilephone) I did not know that .exe isnt used for the emulator. When i used roms before they worked fine, maybe i just hat luck and only found those with .gba not .exe. -
Glad you got it working. As @dankcushions said, any .exe pretending to be a ROM is most likely a virus, so beware.
-
@boneclaw Try another website for your roms (Google "roms" and use the first result). And NEVER open that exe. Most likely some form of malware.
