This is a "feature". From the wiki, which I wrote :
"VirtuaNES is stricter with ROM (headers) checking than FCE Ultra which means instead of bizarre behavior, VirtuaNES will not allow bad ROMS to be used."

Most Emulators don't complain, because the headers aren't needed for emulation. HOWEVER, they can be sign that the entire rom is corrupted if your header is bad.

I suggest getting clrmamepro and/or goodtools and checking your roms. On the bright side, you're likely to have a whole lot fewer problems, but until you get good roms you'll see a few of these messages.

The source for VirtuaNES is available, so if you can't get all your roms perfect you could comment out that warning if you just don't want to see it anymore. There might be a flag you can pass but I didn't notice one and I've only ever gotten this message once.

Basically I used goodtools to eliminate all non-usa roms etc.. I was tired of seeing a list of like 8,543 and only playing a few of these games and after having my friends say uhh do i pick the E one ? the UE the a1, b2, beta, prot,Hack The Tgs version etc.. etc.. so on and so on.. so at the end of the day I was left with about 655 USA Roms and of those only about 30 had this header error in VirtuaNes So I hand tested all 655 individually which was tidious to say the least.. plucked and replaced all of the header error ones. The one other thing I guess I cant complain too much about it but when i Escape VirtuaNes with the ESC key to go back to the mamewah list VirtuaNES sometimes displays the gui menu ontop where as sometimes itll exit with one ESC button push instead of two. Just a slight annoyance.. but happy that its 98% the way I want it.
