Assignment 20 - Justin Zhu

How to install Pokemon Roms and Rom hacks on your computer
1. Install an emulator dependent on what game you want. If you want to play a game from generations IV to V, then a NDS emulator is necessary (DeSmuMe). If you want to play a game from generation III or earlier then a game boy emulator is necessary (VBA).
2. Install an unzipper, I prefer the unzipper WinRAR but 7zip also works. After a month of using WinRAR, there will be a small popup every time you use the program, but you don't actually need to pay anything. The creators intended for the program to be free but use the popup so large companies are forced to pay them. Screw corporations right?
3. Find the rom of the game you want to play. Any google search will work, but make sure not to misclick and download any malicious files. Roms will never download as a program but just as files openable via WinRAR or 7zip. The rom itself should be inside and should be a .gba or .nds file.
5. Make a folder where you want to play your games and place your emulator and the rom you want to play inside.
6. Just drag the .gba/.nds file over its respsective emulator and release. I window should pop up and now your pokemon game is playable!
