Your commandline looks fine. The thing that looks weird to me is your rom filter.

You have:

*.WinRAR

What is the extensions of your roms?

on the emulator on the association files i check the box binary, so when i unzipped my roms they come out binary and not gb or gbc, so my filter dont reconize them. so i left them on winrar, so the filter maybe is rar instead of winrar? and do you know how to switch the binary thing? let me know

[celly]

For your rom filter just try *.zip

hey guys i dont know how associate my game boy rom with binary, and now when i unzipped them they come out binary and the rom filter dont read it, i gotta get it back to default so i can use the filter as *.gc if you guys have any idea let me know. thanks

What do you mean by binary? They have the *.bin extension? If not then what are the extensions of your roms? Before you mentioned about them being rar'ed. I'm not aware of VisualBoyAdvance or GameEx being compatible with rar'ed roms. You can use rom tools to rebuild them and recompress them or you can use winrar to even do that. But I need to understand what you mean.

i still have them in winrar it like zip. but before i unzipped them the extention are .gb but when i unzipped them the come out as binary. the binary extension for gameex is *.bin ? but the roms comes out on the list, the play game is not on, so i thinks is the emulator, but you guys know about this let me know

Your rom filter should be the extension of whatever your roms are. So if you roms are *.zip then you need to add *.zip to your rom filter as celly said. Just leave them zipped. No need to unzip them. VisualBoyAdvance will run them zipped.
