Installation
#

Get the GBA BIOS
#

In order to play all of your favorite GBA games, you need a dump of the GBA BIOS.

The BIOS cannot be provided with Hades for legal reasons: you’ll have to find a way to get it by yourself.

When you’re ready: open Hades, click on File -> Open BIOS and chose your BIOS file (usually named bios.bin).

Run the game
#

To play a game you need a dump of that game’s rom.

Just like the BIOS, Hades can’t provide them for legal reasons: you’ll have to find a way to get them by yourself.

When you’re ready, click on File -> Open and pick your game’s rom file (usually ending with .gba). You can also directly pick the archive containing the game’s file without extracting it beforehand.
