can't run roms in zsnes

[John T Fountain Jr]

I have zsnes 151, and I have your rom pack from before the crash. I unzipped the big file, and all the games are in 7z format. I run zsnes, and try to play any of the games, but they all say "bad rom" at the bottom and the screen just stays black.


Am I missing something?

Un-7z the files, as Zsnes don't do 7z. If ya tight on space you could zip it with winzip.

As a general rule most emulators can only read roms packed in *.zip format or extracted roms

The best option is to extract all rom based games and recompress them in zip format, CD/DVD games in general need to be extracted

Personly I use winrar to do this as I can set options like compress each file to it's own archive and select a bunch of roms, you can also set it to delete files after archiving that will remove the files after to save you having to do that manually
