.dst won't allow me to select as rom on Desmume

[Thejewishpeople]

So I stopped playing on my rom version of Pokemon Platinum to play X and Y a few months back and today I decided I wanted to go back to restart my platinum because I was getting bored of x and y and when I went into Desmume and found my rom file, it was grey'd out meaning I could not select the rom as an appropriate file to the Emulator. Is there a reason for this? I'd be really grateful to any help. Thank you. :smile:

.dst are not rom files; they're save states (RAM snapshots).
