Re: Super Mario Bros stymied

Pardon me.  I definitely didn't make it clear that I'd like to be able
to play the series, 1 through 3, and eventually even Super Mario World
(SNES).

This will give me my fix on the first one, (thank you!) but I'd like to
find out how to run the NES and SNES roms with AdvanceMESS if possible.
Has anyone seen the "Emulator XXXXXX without rom files, ignoring it"
error before and successfully ripared it?
