[bigballa1087]

Hi im a little new to the emulation thing but im kinda getting the hang of it. i downloaded a n64 emulator pack and ive been trying to play diddy kong racing on it and everytime i try to play it gives me an error like "rom" not supported. or it will say something like the microcode is wrong or something. i tried DLing different roms and the same thing always happens. anyone know what the problem with this is???

What is the file type of the ROM?

[bigballa1087]

ive tried a lot of different types. some are .z64, v64, .rom, and i think ive tried some other ones too

Well I was wondering if it was a .rar or not, but I guess that is not the problem.

[bigballa1087]

yea. im not sure what is wrong with it. it even still tries to play it but it comes up all messed up

You said you downloaded a "n64 emulator pack"

Maybe you should try getting Project64 and support files from the official site?

To me it sounds like either a bad rom - unlikely as he's downloaded several versions, or like SegNin has hinted at the version of the emulator he has is potentially corrupt. In particular it seems the .rdb file.
