How do you save roms to your inbox?

hmm...works fine on mine (goboy v.1.2 installed to MMC, and phone firmware is 1.34....messaging set to MMC as well)

Things to try/check:

- Upgrade to goboy 1.2 (if you don't already have it)...1.1 didn't work for me

- Does it work when you shutoff/on your phone?

- Do you have any apps which automatically run (hidden in the background?) during bootup? try disabling

- Are you sending the zips to the phone or the gb/gbc files? (I have sent them all in their gb/gbc format)...maybe the zipman app is hogging memory

- Do you have BT/IR turned on when you are trying to run the games? Try turning BT/IR off before trying...

- If those don't work...try freeing up some phone memory...(I have 2600k free)

That's about it off the top of my head...if I think of more things I'll let ya know...

I could be wrong, but I have noticed if I open almost any program and then go on to Goboy, it considers memory is full. I suggest to try and download Appman, a really nice memory program you can get on shizo's site. Use that to actually close all programs, then use the compress memory feature and you should have 2.2+ mb free and able to play Goboy.

Remember unless you choose "exit" you are not closing the program. It's like multi tasking in windows. You need to actually close the program to free up the ram. If you are still having problems send me a PM and I can help you figure it out.

I still don't understand where to put the roms on the phone? Whenever I run GoBoy it always says No Rom Selected. How do I select a ROM?

Simply open the message from your inbox and the file extension will automatically open up Goboy. It's like clicking on a Microsoft Word document without opening up word, or an mp3 etc. The file extension will open Goboy.

However, you should be able to use eFileManager and stick them all anywhere in a folder of your choice and use EfileManager to open them up. But I recommend using the inbox method since it saves a small bit of room in your ram.

To ge them in your inbox, I use a different program than the Nokia suite. I use wireless link that comes with Windows XP. However, if you want to use the nokia suite to put them on your mmc then you will have to use something like eFileManager to open them.

Wireless link will send the file and other programs to your phone as a message.
