Rom will not work

Post by No one you know »

So i know i shouldn't write it down on this poll but i don't know how to start a poll :?
I just downloaded my Zsnes for ubuntu (you know: sudo get-apt install zsnes) and started downloading some roms. I downloaded Blackthorne first and played a lil bit with it then moved on to downloading The legend of zelda (original) downloaded it moved to the right spot but when i went to star it the screen went black showed the normal texton the bottom and the i waited for a gol-darn 3 minutes or so and nothing happened i thout it was strange and downloaded a new rom (after that i deleted the old one) and it still didn't work i deleted the new rom and downloaded Godzilla monster of monsters and... you guessed it didn't work i don't know why this is happening i tried Blackthorne after that and it still worked and i notes on the botom it sayd FAILED and BAD ROM.

post, not poll. pick "new topic" when you're NOT inside an existing one.

either it's a bad ROM or it's compressed and you need to unpack it first. what's the file extension (after the dot)?
Why yes, my shift key *IS* broken.

Most ROM sites don't bother labelling the type of ROM it is, try searching in your preferred search engine:
[game title] (U) [!] and it should be fine (or instead of (U) use (E) if a [!] U dump isn't available). Avoid anything with a on it.

I can't give you the ROM myself or even link to it anywhere.
