December 5, 20223 yr comment_194707 What is a .bin file and how can you play them? I found .smc files that run on my SNES emulator. Just curious how those work. I don't own a computer so editing/compiling is out of the question. I play on my SNES console and on a android TV box. Report
December 5, 20223 yr comment_194708 .bin files are binary dumps. Typically Genesis ROMs are .bins, so you can play them in any Genesis emulator. Report
December 5, 20223 yr comment_194709 That's cool. I'll have to try that ECHL.bin out. I love the Cincinnati Cyclones. Report

You can get ROMs off archive.org. n64 games - click "ZIP" under "DOWNLOAD OPTIONS" to get the list of all downloads - https://archive.org/details/nintendo-64-romset-usa I couldn't find "Press your luck", what system is that on? After getting the ROMs, you need to add the appropriate "core" to RetroArch so it knows how to play games from that system: https://www.retroarch.com/?page=cores Report

You can't change it to bin, it's a different thing. Try installing the DOSBox core in Retroarch - https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/01/dosbox-pure-for-retroarch-aims-to-simplify-classic-ms-dos-gaming/ Report
February 21, 20233 yr comment_195869 If you don't see "Download Core" in the Load Core window, go to Settings-User Interface-Menu Item Visibility and turn "Show Core Downloader" to on. 21 minutes ago, D. Sekreterenson said: Ok cool thx Report
February 22, 20233 yr comment_195876 Ok,but the prob is really they're not even showing on the thumb drive when i put it in my ps3. The ones from here do. But not these ones from the other sites. Report
February 22, 20233 yr comment_195881 Hm you might need to run the appropriate core and then navigate to the game file. Otherwise maybe it's just remembering the old core you used and only showing you games compatible with that core? Report
February 23, 20233 yr comment_195896 I'm downloading that n64 right now. I'll have to check the press your luck thing after that. Man this is gonna take a while,shouldn't of started it this late... Report
