I'm trying to get this emu to work for the 7800 games. It seems fine, but it won't work because it won't find the Bios file. I have the file (I downloaded it from the emu section here on the site) in the right folder, but to no avail. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong!?!?!? Do I have to do something special?

Try this first and see if it works:

Nope. Tried zipping, unzipping, all that fun stuff. It just won't recognize it. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I was just recently messing around with this and I read somewhere to rename 7800.zip to a7800.zip and leave it in the BIOS folder. I did that and it started working. Give that a shot bro.

Yep, that did it. Actually, I downloaded the file from Atari Age. Way to get a step behind DP! ;)

Now, in order not to start a new topic, but how do you "reset" to play a game. I.e., to play TD Football, it needs to reset, but if I reset using the option in the menu bar, it literally resets the game. Does that make sense??
