I thought this deserved its own topic as I thought of this great idea. For those people who've tried to send (via IR) the Gameboy Roms (I've had problems sending the 1,024kb+ roms) to the phone only to get a General Error that the memory was full and to close applications and then try again later.. This little stunt fixes this problem. Its also for those of us who can't afford the zip program.
NB: All stuff here is freeware (except the Roms).
Requirements
*GoBoy (from http://www.wildpalm.co.uk/GoBoy7650.html)
*IR port/Bluetooth port (you need to be able to send data)
*Windows 2000/XP (or whichever ones support IR file sending/Bluetooth file sending)
*Nokia Data Suite for 3650 (from http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,5184,5341,00.html) - or the 7650 one if you have 7650 presumably (i haven't tried 7650 yet)
*FExplorer (from http://www.gosymbian.com/)
*Enough memory to boot~ (an MMC is good.. sorry but this ain't free either)
Method (please read through whole thing before doing it)
First get the ROM, for example "Zelda.gb" (don't ask me why but its an example). Say its 1,024 kb (or 1meg). What you do is use Nokia Data Suite to transfer the rom file (large one) to anywhere on the phone; preferably root.
Then using Windows IR/Bluetooth, send a smaller rom (or a small file) which has being renamed to the filename you want (or something similar) like "Zelda4.gb". You can rename a text file to that if you want (anything'll do). Just send it and make sure its saved okay. Move it to a folder you wish or whatever.
.. Now if you haven't already done so, install the File Manager (FExplorer) and then go to the drive where you stored the small rom/your SMS's (C: for normal phone memory, or E: for MMC) and then press the Left Menu Button (the one directly below screen) and scroll to File, and then scroll right and down to Find. Type in the name of the small rom (this is why its important to name it 'similarly' but not the same) and then when it comes up, click Options again and go File and then Properties. MAKE NOTE OF WHERE THE FILE IS (it'll be something like *:\System\Mail\00000000). Then what you have to do is navigate to the root of the drive (or wherever you put the BIG rom) and Press Options, Edit, CUT.. and then move to the directory you took note of above and put Options, Edit, PASTE. Viola! Your nearly there.
.. Now the trickyish bit. Rename the small file to something with ".old" so for example; our "Zelda.gb" becomes "Zelda.gb.old". And then with your new file "Zelda4.gb", you have to rename that to "Zelda.gb" (so it effectively replaces the old one). Then you can (if you want) delete the .old file (the fake one).
.. Now go into the Messages App; look in your inbox. You should see something from "Infrared Device" (or Bluetooth if thats how you sent it).. open it. It'll run straight away (woohoo!) assuming u installed GoBoy already. I move all my gameboy roms to a folder in "my Folders" called "Gameboy" (clever name isn't it?).. helps organise me better. I wish GoBoy supported running from C:\ or E:\ though.. would make things alot easier.
I hope this helps.
I'm open to any comments/suggestions. Sorry for bad instructions but I'm sure even the most illiterate can understand it.. but who knows? My english is pretty crap.
BUMP.. not happy that my great thoughts went 2 waste 😞
sounds cool, maybe it will help users for the 9210 2. IR has limits for us 2.
Thx

"How to install and play gb, gbc files. pls help me
read the instructions!! i spent a while typing them up nicely u know.. not just to loook good but because they have some content.
seremify, is this how you have to install al roms or only the big ones? Isnt there a easier way to get roms in your inbox? Thnx
well normally you can just send the file over (click on the IR link in the taskbar near clock).. but sometimes the phone runs out of memory (when files are 1meg+) so you have to do this method.
Hi I have two questions about transfreing the rom files to the phone.
1. What is Nokia data suite, don,t you mean pc suite.
2. How is it possible (with pc suite for 7650) to transfer files to a folder on the phone.

1. Same thing~ i think it used to be called data suite.. or something did and thats why I always use it.
2. Yes. You need to create the folder first through a file manager or just in the images (or something with file-manager-like capabilities) application.

How do you do this with pc suite 7650?
Can it be that it's only possible with the 3650 version?
I found out a much easier way to transfer roms bigger than 1mb.
Copy the rom to the public folder in my bluetooth Places instead of the inbox.
which zelda u guys use jus outa interest colour or normal? and does it hav sound and good gameplay as original?

hmm.. i'm pretty sure you can. its just like transferring files normally. as if you were transferring a picture or something to the phone.
[quote="fearce"]which zelda u guys use jus outa interest colour or normal? and does it hav sound and good gameplay as original?[/quote]
colour - zelda: link to the past
no sound though.. and gameplay is sorta hard because i find it difficult to press all the buttons to save.
I still can't transfer files with pc suite ,but it doesn't matter because transfering the big rom files to the public folder in my bluetooth places works perfectly with any rom size and the roms are automaticaly transfered to the inbox. 😃
But still thanks for your help Seremify. 😊
Seremify i could kiss you. It works a treat, i have spent countless hours messing around with zipman but it never worked. Cheers a bunch mate 😃
I have tryed to play games over 2mb but it dont work (GoBoy)
Or you could just transfer the .gb/gbc files straight tp your memory card!
Its alot easier and you can store shit loads!!
I transfered GTA rom(4mb)to MMC,but when i open it via FE,it says that file is corrupted...WHAT TO DO...I tried seremify trick,but dont work..
am i the only one who finds that when you save games (like zelda) and then when you start the game again, you have to start all over again as the saved game is lost? Is there an updated version of goboy?
Not yet,...there is no any new ver.of Goboy.
Hey! Do you can send me pokemon rom to [email protected] ?
😮 the roms on the gameboy can be played in a smaller memory if you first zip the files then send it to your cellphone......you need to have a zipman progra to extract the zipped files sent into your phones.......[/b]
