ZSNES is reporting RD as damaged, no matter where I get it.

Perhaps try another emulator maybe? I always use ZSNES, but I've heard snes9x is just as good. It seems highly unlikely that the ROMs would be corrupt from every location that you download them from.

Yeah, there's a bunch of wrongly-sized RD ROMs floating around out there. The size of a working English-patched ROM in bytes should be 2,097,152 bytes.

Best source I've found is rom(word that describes a a tightly-knit group of people which share a common culture).

I once tried RD in the snes9x, but all the letters were blurred, and couldn't understand a single thing.

Sad to say I also tried SNES9X *lowers head* Square hates me for being a real life version of one of their creations.

Strange...I found the rom quite a while ago, and it runs fine on SNES9X, but I haven't tried it out on ZSNES. These roms are un-patched, right?

Which version are you trying to run? Untranslated or translated?

Try running an untranslated version first, if that works, then it's probably something that can easily be taken care of.

I had(maybe I still do) have a working copy of the RD rom, but I do recall I had to download 2 other files, one to translate the game, and another one for the Stellaview(was it called the Stellaview?), since RD was released for that satelitte  program for the Super Famicom.

I had to practically merge all 3 of them on the ZSNES emulator, the best SNES emulator on the net by the way. :D

You shouldn't need the SatellaView BIOS; ZSNES emulates it by default. However, if you still need it, PM me.

Alright, it works, although upon first boot, it said the saved RAM was full and each slot had unicode symbols. I erased one to start the game and so far so good. I take it the gameplay consists of a story being told and periodically I choose the path of the story?

Yep, looks like you're good to go. :)
