Ok so I am having a problem with the gameboid app. I downloaded a bios file, and out of the 8 or so roms I downloaded, only one is working. When I tried to load the other ones, it said gba rom load failed, or something.
Anyone know why they won't load? Could it be I need a better bios file or would that make any difference at all? I don't think it could be that the roms just aren't supported, they're fairly popular games, like super mario advance and whatnot...
Thanks!

Could be a corrupt BIOS download? Try re-downloading the BIOS file, and then run it again.
Wouldn't a corrupt bios file mean none of the roms would work? One of the roms is working, but the rest all say failed. Anyone have that problem, if it is the bios file? Can anyone confirm that either redownloading the bios file, or getting a different one, would solve it?

Oh yeah, sorry my bad. I didn't see that bit!
You could try re-downloading I guess, it might make a difference. What does it say when you load the non-working ROMs?
It says "Load Rom failed. Please try another file." or something like that. so far only Pokemon Emerald worked out of like the other 8 roms I downloaded from CoolRom.com.
maybe I should try a different bios file. I'll try that and report back to see if that's the problem. I was hoping maybe someone was having the same problem, and tried a different bios file, and then it worked. If that happened to anyone, please could you post the site where you got the bios file from? Thanks!
Tried a different bios file, games still won't load, except for same one. Hmmmm.... anyone have any ideas of how to fix this? Or could it just be that the emulator isn't supporting these games? Should I try to download a different rom file for the games that aren't working?

Please Help
Ive tried everything to get the gameboid app to work. I dont know what to do, can you tell me exactly what you did to be able to play game boy advance games on your mytouch? I have the emulator i just dont know where exactly to put all of the files.
Well first, you should connect your phone to your PC, and make a folder for the games you have. Alternatively, you could download a file manager app from the market and use that to create a new folder.
Then, you need a gba bios file. You'll have to google that though. Once you found one, put it in the folder you created.
When you open the Gameboid app, you have to specify where the bios file is, so find it and select it. Then just search for where you put your ROM files, and select one, and you should be set. Keep in mind, you don't need to unzip the ROM files you download, just download, and put in the folder you created, that's it.
I am still having trouble though myself with the app. I don't know if it's my phone(mytouch slide), or the bios file I downloaded, or just the rom files I got, but alot of the games I tried didn't work. more than half of them actually. Can anyone confirm if they were able to play these games:
Classic NES - Super Mario Bros.
Castlevania - Circle of the Moon
Dragonball GT - Transformation
Mario Advanced 2 - Mario World
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Monster Rancher Advance 2
Shing Force - Resurrection of the Dark Dragon
Three StoogesTy the Tasmanian Tiger 2
Those are the ones I have so far that don't work. A couple just go to a blank screen for a second, and then it goes back to the ROM select menu, without any kind of message popping up, and most just don't load or do anything, and say Load Rom failed. Please try another file.
should I contact the developer about this issue, and see if he's working on updating the gameboid to be more compatible?

Oh, and also, you can use the Gameboid app to search for ROM files(games), just open it up, and press the menu button on your phone, and either select Search Roms, or the Rom Buddy option.
I'm having this problem with my epic as well. i would love a solution for this. its making me miss my psp.
Hi ti everybody.
I have to say that I tryed a few games ( other games, but I'll take a look to the listed ones ) and they all work except for one: Pokèmon Emerald ( Italian version ).
I've downloaded my bios over here: ww.emuparadise.org/biosfiles/bios.html
If you cold send me or post a link to the bios you use, I'll test it.
My phone is an Xperia X8.
EDIT: Ok, I've tested your emerald & it works.
Games I've played & Work are:
-2 in 1 Uno & Skip Bo(EUR)
-Dragon Ball Advance(EUR)
-Pkmn Fire red (ITA ver)
Games that don't work for me are:
-Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories (EUR)
So, I'm wondering if you did the same dumb thing I did. Are the games you are trying to play for the classic game boy or the gameboy advance. Many of the roms out there don't always separate them if you download them as one large file. The only game I wanted was Metroid II, greatest game ever made btw, and I was having a really hard time playing it.
Since it was an original game boy game, I couldn't use gamboid, I have to use Super GBC Lite and it worked immediately without the need of any bios file.
Hopefully it's that simple for you
has anyone figured out what the main problem is yet? I have tried a few different BIOS files and that hasn't fixed the problem for my atrix. I'm looking for those italian versions of pokemon now to see if they will work
Loading BIOS failed. The valid BIOS file must be specified in the settings
Loading BIOS failed. The valid BIOS file must be specified in the settings I Have This Message When I Choose My BIOS And Play A Game .
rom file was the problem
guys, if it happen that you can play only even one game, that only means that there is no problem with your bios file but the rom it self because the proof is you can play other rom so for those roms that you can't play I suggest that you look for a different rom provider like loveroms.com emuparadise.com roms4droid.com and many others.. hope this helps...
HI all,
I've tried psx4droid recently,
download the scph1001.bin and set it..
now , when I'm trying to open FF Tactics.img, the apps goes back into the home screen..
I've tried several ideas like :
1. unecm the file ( there's some error : "no header found, not ecm file)
2.
convert it to eBoot.pbp using IceTea V1.3
after I convert it, I try to reopen it, and still the emulator is not working
PS : I'm using Asus Transformer TF101 Tegra with honeycomb 3.1
Thx
I usually have best luck with .bin or .iso images.
Also try the emulator FPSE its much better than psx4droid.
PSX4Droid basically doesn't work with anything Android 2.3 or newer from what I have tested. The developer also dropped support because he couldn't sell it anymore. Use FPSE instead.
oh i see, thank you for the information , I'll try moving to FPSE.

I have a ? about this, I have a Galaxy Note, and a few games I bought on my previous phone won't install. I edited the file to reflect I had a different phone. But neither will install. I contacted 1 of the developers and thy said the game (Pro Soccer Zombie) works with Note's. They asked if I was running a rom on my phone, which I am ICS Perfections #2. What exactly do I need to change in my prop build to get these 2 games I'm having troubles with to run.
Hey guys,
I just rootet my Galaxy S2 and installed CM Mod 9 on it.
I also installed the App "Ghost Commander" with the play store. My problem is that for some reason I can not open files with the ghost commander anymore.
If Iam choosing an apk-file for example it just asks me to "run a command"
But what I actually want to do is to just install the apk file. I have this problem with all the files in ghost commander. I can not even open a regular pdf-File with Adobe reader.
Has somebody any idea where my problem might be? For some reason I can not try another filemanager, because in play store almost every app can not be installed because it says that its "not compatible with this version of android" I am lucky that at lest ghost commander was working for me...
Hope my english is not to bad

Ghost commander has 2 different operation modes - normal and root:.
You're stuck in the root: mode.

When i run downloaded games like asphalt 7 heat and mc4 , it actually doesn't run.
For example ashphalt 7 , i copied it from my friend(for whom it is working)
i installed the apk , pasted com....gameloft.... that file in android obb in my internal memory.
When i run the app online it says checking for game files and says everything is downloaded you can play click okay. When i click it it either gets struck or just keeps loading and starts blinking and then again gets struck. At times a blue line starts appearing but then again loading symbol appears.
I have a rooted canvas HD with 32 gig internal memory.
Used motochopper to root.
I think the problem might be due to the way i rooted cauz i also installed nfs the same way but had to place it in android/data but these ones in android/obb. Should i unroot and use cwm ...... but then my mob. doesn't get recognized.
What do i do to play these games, where is the problem help me!
Please explain in detail.
