    Finding roms for a phone emulator

    I have a brand new Motorola XT720 and I downloaded an emulator from the store but I only see 1 app about snes roms. It's 1$ and it's rated 2 stars by 300 something votes, and it's really small so I know it's not snes roms.

    If there are none in the store, how do you put any in your phone?

    The app puts a folder on your SD card that the rom files go in.

    You download them off the net on your PC as if you were going to play them there, and put them in the folder.

    Well what the app actually did is open my web browser and sent me to a fucking rom search engine. So I decided wtf i'll just dl it like that, but it's zipped, and for some reason it just refuses to unzip.

    Do you not have a SD card? Just put it in your computer, upload roms, then put it back in your phone.

    If you don't, then, uh, you can just download them I guess. The snes emulator should be able to open games while they're still in .zip format, assuming they didn't throw some stupid "DOWNLOADED FROM MY SUPER AWESOME WEBSITE" text file inside it, although I don't really know if that matters or not.

    ROM Gripper from the Android Market has always worked perfectly for me for GBA and SNES ROMS. Like someone said, the app itself doesn't contain ROMs, but links you to just about any game imaginable. I don't think I installed that 99 cent version, but I did it a good four months ago iirc.

    Not sure why Gripper has gotten such poor reviews in the market. Probably because most people are fucking morons. Or do what everyone else said and put shit on a SD card.
