    I don't think this works for Mac..

    1. Double-click on the NDS/GBA ROM, a window should popup.

    2. Click ''Browse''

    3. Browse your computer's (or external) hard drive for No$GBA or No$Zoomer

    4. Double click on the exe file (or click once and press OK),

    5. Tick the 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file' box

    6. Press OK, the .nds/.gba file should now get the icon of the emulator after a few seconds.

    7. Open your .nds/.gba file to test it. The emulator should pop up with loading the game.

    If it works, congratulations!
    If it doesn't, please create a topic.

    Notice: Sometimes it doesn't work, the .nds/.gba file doesn't get an icon and everything remains the same...
    Try it again then, if it doesn't work after trying again with No$GBA & No$Zoomer, create a new topic.



    You can do the same with all ROMs if you have their emulator.
    For example, Project 64 and .Z64

    For which OS is it?

    XP
    - Double click a .nds file
    e.g pokemon.nds
    - Choose 'Select the program from a list'
    - Click 'Ok'
    - Click the 'Browse' button
    - Locate your no$gba.exe/no$zoomer file
    - Tick the 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file' option
    - and then click 'Ok'

    But keep in mind,
    No$gba is designed for NDS games, not GBA games.
    Use VBA for GBA games.

    no$gba is also designed to play GBA Games. In fact before it went full NDS support n0$gba was competing against VBA for the best GBA emulation support, that's why no$gba has solar sensor emulation making it the better platform to play the Boktai games, whereas VBA lacks said feature making running said games extremely problematic.
