Cant run rom

I just started speedrunning and I downloaded Gambette and the red rom but when I try to run it it comes up saying: Could not load GBC bios. Gambatte-Speedrun requires a GBC bios to function. Pleas use settings > Select GC Bios image to specify the location of such a file.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

download the one that says gbc [put it in a location where you'll be able to find it, because you'll need to

Then open gambatte, and go to Settings --> Select BIOS image --> load the file that you just downloaded. After that just load up a rom and it should work.

Check under guides for "Any% Glitchless Beginners IT Guide (No Mega Punch)" it has a link to the BIOS.

Or you can also just google "game boy color bios", and find it that way.

"you need a bios image (colors of the game)"

That is... Not what a BIOS is.

A BIOS is a firmware file that basically governs initialisation of the hardware. It's what identifies to an emulator that it's running a "Gameboy Color" as opposed to a "Gameboy", etc. Any time there's multiple releases or revisions of a console, they're differentiated by their own BIOS versions, and this applies to region differences too.
