help with mslug3n.zip converting to aes

Post by Cormega »

I can't seem to translate the file into a aes file, every time i use the ncgui application it keeps coming up " not valid rom set" so I select the different regions in the application and it still keeps giving me this result. Here's the roms that I've in my zip file:

256-c1.rom
256-c2.rom
256-c3.rom
256-c4.rom
256-c5.rom
256-c6.rom
256-c7.rom
256-c8.rom
256-m1.rom
256-ph1.rom
256-ph2.rom
256-v1.rom
256-v2.rom
256-v3.rom
256-v4.rom

Please someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, I checked the romrc file and it gives this same description so I have no idea what the problem is.
thanks :)

So, try renaming your rom files from *.rom to *.bin.
In a DOS prompt, type ren *.rom *.bin <ENTER>
Retry converting it.
