I don't know what emulators you use in your phone, but MSX needs system ROMs.
Most console systems don't need roms, like NES, SNES, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, Master System, Genesis...
MSX is a personal computer system, it is more complicated than a simple console.

I ve got the emulator to recognize roms but in the section where you choose the machine type I cant change it from none is there a simple solution.

If it's a game for the MSX1, you also must install "msx.rom" to make it work. Note that the system ROMs are placed under "rom" directory in the device and game ROMs under "data" directory. The emulator won't let you choose a machine type if it cannot find the proper system ROMs. If you do not have the required system ROMs, have a look around the web, they are easy enough to find.

BTW, you don't have to use the PC tools to install the ROM files if you have an MMC card on your phone (like the 3650) and you have installed the emulator on the MMC card. You can easily just copy all the necessary files to the right directories ("x:systemappsfmsx
om" for system ROMs and "x:systemappsfmsxdata" for game ROMs and DSK files) using MS Windows and an MMC card reader connected to your PC.

Also, you don't have to gzip any of the files if you don't want to. All system ROMs, game ROMs and DSK files also work in uncompressed format. It's just a feature so that you can save some space on your phone...

I'm sorry if you find all this too difficult but I don't know how to make it much easier without including the necessary files with the emulator. If you have any suggestions, they are welcome! Maybe if I made the PC tool a separate, single Windows application with a nice GUI instead of the separate command line tools?

Thanks! I'm sorry to hear that your favourite game doesn't work. Does it work with fMSX/Unix?

I think it's because the site you linked to is full of warez.
The game is so-called 'Matraware' isn't it? It should be for download here: http://www.matranet.net/
But I see the Matraware section is 'Coming Soon' :/

Anyway, google is your friend.
