Hey guys!
So I’m trying to get Pokemon Red up and running and I keep getting an error saying “failed to validate the ROM file”. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
We just updated the FAQ with this one, take a look at https://crowdcontrol.live/faq#i-get-an-error-that-reads-failed-to-validate-rom-file--access-to-the-file-was-denied
It’s not there anymore 
Nothing there seems to address the “Failed to validate ROM” error. Seems to be an issue with access to the file? Do the ROMS need to be in Bizhawk local directory?
No the ROM can be in almost any one location, but requires it to be writable. Make sure your permissions are not read-only on the ROM file.
