    that explains the disappearance... have you tried searching the file yet...

    Next time you should set the download directory of your browser..

    so you didn't find it, the files I mean?

    Have you ever tried using a download manager?

    I keep searching in like every way I can think of and I can't find the files.

    Well according to my searching, the emulator and game files have completely disappered. :eek:

    Ok, I just re-downloaded the emulator...what do I do with it quick!! Before it disapears!!!
    Post Merge: [time]1244355949[/time]
    Aw man...never mind, I'm really sleepy. I'm going to bed. Let me know if you figure something else out because I still really want to play the game. My only other option is to buy the game console and then the game >,<

    ...I read this thread...and I'm just as confused as you :(

    I'm gonna put in some simple steps that are general, and may have been repeated...

    1.Make sure you have downloaded an emulator (no$gba for ds/gba games, works with both)

    2.Make sure you have win rar or 7-zip installed (both work the same)

    3.If you got one of the 2 options I listed in 2., you should be able to right click on the mouse button

    4. If not, prehaps it wasn't installed (win rar/7-zip)

    5.When you download via internet explorer you have the option to save a file or open it after download, make sure it is being saved, not opened, other wise your looking at something that's gonna disappear after looking at it's window :(

    6.When you save you can choose where to save it, make sure it's on the desktop (so you can confirm it's there without opening 100 folders)

    7.Download managers are good for downloading many files at once...I don't use one since my net is too slow to bother downloading many items at once :(


    8.If your using winrar, the free one is always an evalutation copy, it SHOULD be fine, it just shows an annoying window everynow and then reminding you to buy the full, some have said it works fine even after 30 days...mine expired but other's have said it should still work...so you shouldn't have to worry...




    Ok, don't give up, but you sound like your panicking, that ain't gonna help, it's easy, just right click, extract the contents (or do what I do, just open it and pull out the 1 file I need...if it's a ds game it the one with the .nds at the end of it...the file extension) and after I open my emulator I point it where the .nds file is...


    ...I'm a noob, but I figured out all of this...just keep trying, and try my method (look upper paragragh) and you shoudl at least have something to go on...


    Good luck

    It sounds like when you downloaded the file you chose 'open' instead of 'save'. This causes it to be downloaded to a temporary directory, and deleted when you close the program. You need to choose the 'save' option, and then open it after it has downloaded to a location of your choice. The 'open' option does not work properly in a lot of cases, so don't use it.

    Well I'm downloading the game again and I already re-downloaded the emulator, but when I try to open the emulator it says that it doesn't have something needed to run. Help me? :-[

    It says that it can't run because it doesn't have zlib1.dll to run the .exe. Do I need to install some pulg-in or something? ???

    You need the zlib1.dll file.

    Read the ePSXe tutorial:
    https://www.romulation.org/forum/index.php?topic=8528.0

    It has a link to it.

    Or you can extract it by using WinRar

    That won't help him with the zlib problem at all :)

    this is basically a mistake on the part of the ePSXe team, the emulator zip should have included the file and didn't.

    Understandable mistake though. The developing and testing team probably had the DLL from something else and didn't realize it :)

    Read the tutorial carefully. It does a pretty good job of explaining it.
