Bios not recognized

I'm trying to start up Heart Gold in the demo emulator. It told me to come here to figure out how to install my bios. I got my bios (biosnds7.rom, biosnds9.rom, and firmware.bin), put it in the files/system directory, and went back to the drastic demo and got the same bios issue. I reset my phone, and that didn't help. Any advice?

Well, there's two things you can do. Either decrypt the roms so you don't have to bother with the bios or rename the bios. The correct name should be in the faq

Well, sure, the correct name should be in the faq, but as far as I can tell, it isn't. I tried the name that the drastic bios file has, but that didn't work any better.
Or, how would I decrypt the rom?

I found one way to decrypt the rom, but it requires Windows, which I do not have right now.

the bios files need to be named nds_bios_arm7.bin and nds_bios_arm9.bin they should be in drastic/system
firmware.bin is not required

Well, that worked, thanks.
Somebody should probably put that in the FAQ.
