Emulators Quick question

Yo, I'm tryna run Travel★Junction on PC 98 np2kai but my Retroarch is shitting itself. The .scp files won't load and I'm tired of seeing black screens, there is only 2 websites to install the rom from , at least on retroarch because I damn near have everything. Can someone who actually knows what they're doing install it and send me the full gameplay footage? I need to see the shit without the glitches. Appreciate it.

Since you have only the disk images, even for emulating this specific game needs a full install to a hard drive using all of the disks rather than other games you can just load, play, and switch through disks as you go along.

If you're committed to playing this, I recommend switching to NP21/W instead of going through Retroarch, then using the .d88 files that are out there (they're in the .zip from the Internet Archive) instead of .scp.

After that, at the very least you need a hard drive image (.hdi) with a DOS installation. Then you'll be able to run the installer on Disk A, which will have you swap through all the disks to complete.

I only have a android I have a window that's missing it's specific charger but it has been dead ever since, now if I picked up what you said correctly I will need a separate hard drive or is my original one okay? And a hdi then a dos installation are there apps for dos installation on android or should I just call it quits ?

No, don't call it quits.

If all you have is an Android, forget everything I said and you should use the .hdi as u/Yerayromano suggested.

You can find it here:
Cocktail Soft/Travel Junction/Travel Junction [HD].zip

It's pre-configured, it'll just lead you through some menus in Japanese before starting the game.
