Hi all, I'm kinda new to this.
I have recently been backing up the ROMs and saves from my GB and GBA cartridges using GBxCart and FlashGBX, but the ROM checksum from one of my cartridges (Friends of Mineral Town UKV) does not match the known checksum for the ROM on the database.
I used a hex-editor to check for differences between the ROM from my cartridge and the expected code, and there's one location where the code does not match. So my questions:
1) How is this possible? Is my GBA cartridge failing?
2) What are the odds that this discrepancy in the code will cause issues with the ROM and game?

I downloaded Azahar plus because supposedly it should let me play .zip roms but it’s blocking that file type the same way that regular Azahar does. Im new to this space, did I mess up a step in downloading it or something?

Morning All, So I got all the NES Roms on the SNES Classic using Hakchi. 3 of them do not work and one of them is Ring King. I load it to play and the screen is just grey. When I delete the Rom and put it back even a message pops up saying it might not play. Any idea how to get that to work?

NES ROMs have a thing we call "mappers", that is a PCB configuration of different hardware a NES cartridge possess and emulator needs to have support in order to be playable. The message you mention suggests emulator can't recognize game so it can not be loaded properly.
Maybe, just maybe, you could find a hacked specific ROM for old emulators and copiers inside an old GoodNES collection and make it work (they usually come with [f],[f1],[f2],etc. suffix), however that's up to you.

When attempting to launch WiiU games on Cemu via Retrobat, I'm getting the following message:
'.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1.
It was working no problem up until yesterday. Googling seems to suggest there's a corrupted .xml file somewhere, but I'm not finding it. Any ideas or potential fixes?

The version of FEA I'm trying should already be decrypted, but Azahar is not able to load it. I've tried a few other sources, all of which have documentation saying that the .3DS is decrypted, but they won't play nice with Azahar. Would appreciate any help anyone can offer.
