hmm. Let's start with the stupid question first:

You are talking about the O2 and/or O3 bios roms, correct?

and it is labelled correctly, right?

And you have specified the file by going to settings and telling it which to use and where to find it, right?

And thanks for playing the greatest game system of all time:

The Odyssey2. :D

ok, i was playing around w the settings. making sure all the directories were pointing correctly. now it says error loading roms. the bios is this one http://www.videogamearchive.com/emu/o2_rom.htm

Okay.

Stupid questions time again (the only technical ability I have is to think up the dumbest question possible):

You have your rom files in a file marked roms?

They are .bin files?

The directory setting for roms is set for the right place?

Are they showing up in the launcher as a list when you switch from settings to roms?

You know, you're doing so much better than I did when I started using O2EM. I kept trying to use it in windows and wondering what I was doing wrong.

I forgot to load the launcher. :embarrassed:

Well, that's pretty much everything I could think of.

Unless there's a problem with your hard drive, the game roms you have are somehow corrupted, or the game roms were downloaded zipped and are still compressed.

If you have an Atari 2600 bin file on your computer, see if it'll let you load that.

It won't run the actual game, of course, but the file should be readable by the emulator.

If that works try loading one of the O2 bins in a 2600 emulator. If they won't load, it may be the files.

ok i got it to work using o2em101 instead of o2em 117

thanks

Cool. I hope I was some help.

Be sure to check out the tutankham proto at www.dieterkoenig.at/ccc/

and

Superbee and Jake - I'm hooked on these two prototypes for the O2.

Have fun with the greatest game system ever!
