Ever wanted to know how to play Gameboy games on your computer? Well, I will show you how. First off your going to need two things to play your game. Your going to need a ROM first off. A ROM is the files for the game, that's all you will need to know. Also you will need an Emulator. Think of an Emulator as a Client to get onto a game.

First lets get a game shall we? Here is the link to Pokemon Fire Red:

http://www.romulation.net/GBA/1636_-_Pokemon_-_Fire_Red_Version_(U).rar.html/

I would suggest making a folder for all your games.

Now here is the Emulator:
http://www.emulator-zone.com/download.php/emulators/gba/vboyadvance/VisualBoyAdvance-1.8.0-beta3.zip

Now after downloading the Emulator and the ROM is downloaded, look into the ROM for the biggest file. That is your game. After extracting the Emulator drag and drop the file from your ROM ontop of the Emulator. There you go.

You can play any GBA and Gameboy ROM's on the Emulator I gave you.

Well there you go. Happy gaming.

This is a classic. I love playing these classic games on my computer. I went out and bought a $10.00 controller that is similar to the SNES one and it works great. Post the other emulators as well (SNES, NES, Sega, etc.)

As long as you find the ROM you can play Mario and all the classics on your computer. Also you can play playstation games too. You just need a different Emulator. I will make a guide later with all the emulators.
