I just got my Vita earlier this month so this is my first time with VHBL, and this really helped me a lot. I think a sticky is in order.

Since you have a Vita now, viewtopic.php?f=53&t=10859

I have my directory ROMS under vhbl/snes9xTYL/ROMS...it freezes when i click on roms to try and load. Does the ROMS direcory need to be somewhere else? I dont see why it matters, everything installs fine thru 138 menu.

The snes emu is SMOKE's. And i have re-zipped as STORED, but thats kinda obvious since it installed, lol.

EDIT: May have resolved it...be back in a bit after installation...

OK, so rom list loads, but it's the old listing in had and new one combined. No matter what game I try, either a zip or smc file, it does the checking, and error occurs, and kicks back to vita dash.

If you install the SNES9xTYL I've provided (which is a modified version of SMOKE's), it'll look for the ROMS directory under "VHBL/ROMS/snes". I've found that not doing it this way freezes for me as well, so please try it this way.

Thank you ! I'm glad I helped!

Theres probably two ways to fix this, one you either have too much snes roms in one folder such as 100 or more, or when u put the roms in the folder make sure to store them when RAR ask you.

Yea, i had like 1000 games, thought maybe that was it, so now i have 50, and i did the store mode, i do it every time, and still locks up.

Hope i can get it to work, i go out to sea for a month on Monday lol.

Pico and Nester work great though!!

EDIT: GOT IT FINALLY!!!!!!

how did you fix it? pass down your wisdom for the next guy.
after a few days i was able to get emulators masterboy, gpsp, snes9xtyl and nesteraoex working, after i realized the install.zip folders were already available on the download page things became much easier. when i was starting the process i thought it would have been helpful to provide 1) proper ROM file extensions for each emulator 2) a list of all the various shorcuts for the emulators and 3) whether BIOS files are needed etc. i know some of the info is in the readmes, but not all of it is.

Could you add this.

On Gpsp, to keep your saves. Go to Misc,
