go to file manager, click the rom and scroll down to vgba, it should open up, works on all the roms i tried.

make sure the extension is lower case (.gba). If that doesn't work, open the rom in file manager and choose vgba from the "open with" list.

One way is to click the file in the filemanager and when it asks you to open the file with a program it shows the filename with the extension in the upper left corner.

To change the extension though you will need to either connect via USB or use Xterm.

if you plug in the n900 in mass storage mode it should be as simple as renaming the file
