Click to expand...Which version of the emulators are you using? they can use bios, but as far as i know they are not necessary. Try the Stable Build, and check if that works better for you.

i guess direct linking to the files is a no go here, just google the needed bios files, they are easily found

Give a shot to those i mentiones on 1.3.6 release.
