Oh BURN!

In case it's unclear, you're obviously using a pirated version, which we (the users of the OFFICIAL DraStic forum, which does not tolerate piracy) now hate you for.
Go actually BUY the game (that means use money), and then ta-dah, all your problems are fixed!
...
UGH! Another pirater! That's like the third one this month!
I'm getting frigging tired of this. People take Exophase's good work, crack it, and then distribute it FOR FREE online. And then we end up with cheapskate morons who are like "The screen is too small please help me" and we have to tell them "IT'S SMALL BECAUSE IT'S PIRATED IDIOT! GO BUY THE GAME NEXT TIME!". And I haven't even delved into how much money Exophase could've made if these hacker jerks didn't do this crap!
Seriously, we need to CRACK DOWN on this before it gets out of hand. Any ideas on this issue?
(Sorry if I offended anyone saying this, I just needed to get my opinion out there.)

You can also find me on Reddit (u/Ericbazinga) and Discord (in the DraStic Discord server). You'll find me in those places almost daily and here almost never.

Looks like OP simply isn't versed with emulators, like most. Probably something like wrong format, folder, etc.. A more thoughtful explanation would be better, but oh well.

Yeah let's not jump to conclusions, I doubt the poster is fluent in English. My guess is the ROMs are just not being put in a place that the OP is able to find, but it's kind of hard to explain what to do here.

i didnt really imply OP was pirating it. i was actually playing up on the weird way he worded his issue.

it may also mean he didnt download roms properly

Untill s/he explains what happened there isn't much to do.

Can you say where to download ROMs here on ban? The rules say no but this is often a sister subject to emulation.

well, emulation is emulation but piracy is a no go on this site.

you want to do that stuff, then you do your research like every one else.

Thanks Jay, just asking since it's a grey area that often comes within discussions and it might be OP's problem.
