In Off-topic

I was posting hear, and then I went to the homepage, and it said "Free NES ROMs" I was so excited. Since I use to have at least 50 games on my computer, but then they were deleted. Does anyone know how to download the NES ROMs? Thanks for your help!

I know they're a little hard to find, but when you go to the "games" section and click a game, if there is a ROM of it, it'll show up. it looks a lot like the google ads, so just keep your eyes open.

Also, we have a sticky thread about places to get NES ROMs in the Emulation forum. You might want to check that out.

Thanks.... I'm not too sure how to get Nesticle working.... I used to have it and it worked, but downloaded it today, Un-Winzipped it, and when I click on it nothing happens.... just wondering if anyone knew what might be wrong... thanks.

I just couldn't help it.

That really doesn't help...

Yo Malon, this is NrG/Day-Break, glad you like the place. Just so you know, here is a heads up too.

Roth and Nes-Luke are the mods and dkal is the admin who owns NES Files,we call him derik though

Z.E.N: Know how people have a way with words? Well Z.E.N has a way with pictures as you can see

daynum shows up everyonce in a while and is real helpful, so is Roth

Star Tropics, Zombie, Devil, and faile are other common users.

Also last but not least is manuel, he is pretty active here so you will see a lot of him and he is a pretty freindly guy too.

Hope I can get more ppl from the Ign's classic NES board to here

Hey _NrG_. Thanks for letting me knwo about this board. But does anyone know what to do about the NES ROMs (my bro really wants to know). I posted what happened 2 posts ago. Also, thanks _NrG_ for the user imfo. I hope to post here as much as IGN.

Malon, if you can't find the NES ROMs you are looking for here, here is a list of other really great site. Check 'em out.

My brother looked at that, and he said this (it was in another post)

I'm sorry for all the confusion and everything.

he needs help downloading them.

Get WinZip, from winzip.com

Then look for the emulator NES you want. (Try vimm.net and look under emulation, get the nesticle of FCE Ultra.)

Click on down load, wait for it to download, click Open. The winzip thing might pop up, click "Evaluation version." In the next screen, it will seem real colorful with all these options. Click to highlite the emu you just downloaded. Click extract, then click on the + sign next to the C:Drive and then look for the "My Games" folder, if you don't have one make one. Anyway, click on the folder icon next to my games, when the folder looks like it was opened, press ok.

Do the same thing for Games

THANKS! I have one more question though. (sorry for so many) When I play the games, the jump button is like the same as pause so it pauses when I jump. Can I change it, or does this happen to anybody? Thanks.

If you're using FCE Ultra, click on Config.

Next click on Input...

From there you can configure what buttons you want to use on the emulator. I use version 0.98.12. If this is the one you use, click on the Configure button to bring up a dialog box that has buttons that are in the same shape as the ones you would find on you're standard NES controller.

Click on whichever button you want to change, then press the corresponding button/key that you want to use.

Do this for every button, and then hit the Close button. Close out the other menu, and you should be ready to go. Hope this helps!

I've noticed there has been a couple of topics from people recently asking about how to do emulation and was wondering if anything happened to Dereks idea of an article for newbies:



Shadow wrote a nice precise guide and Roth did a more comprehensive one.

Unfortunatly that topic got lost a long way down the emulation forum. Maybe it would be better if it was a sticky topic?

Thanks a lot guys! Thanks for all the help.
