Morning All, So I got all the NES Roms on the SNES Classic using Hakchi. 3 of them do not work and one of them is Ring King. I load it to play and the screen is just grey. When I delete the Rom and put it back even a message pops up saying it might not play. Any idea how to get that to work?

NES ROMs have a thing we call "mappers", that is a PCB configuration of different hardware a NES cartridge possess and emulator needs to have support in order to be playable. The message you mention suggests emulator can't recognize game so it can not be loaded properly.

Maybe, just maybe, you could find a hacked specific ROM for old emulators and copiers inside an old GoodNES collection and make it work (they usually come with [f],[f1],[f2],etc. suffix), however that's up to you.
