    Red face Problem: Unzip rom files - emulator running

    Hello

    I don´t know if I post my issue the right place but here it is:

    I have found this game on emuparadise.me:
    http://www.emuparadise.me/M.A.M.E._-...st_World/14287
    When I have downloaded the file lostwsga.zip I have to unzip it and then I got a lot of files with stranges fileextensions. You can see them in the attached picture. Do I have to unzip them to get the rom or how do I do it?

    Also I have downloaded and installed this MAME emulator but it doesn´t work for me:
    http://www.emuparadise.me/M.A.M.E._-...2_(64-bit)/469

    Shall I get an other MAME emulator or what do you suggest?

    Lars

    All files are required to make your ROM work. Hope this helps!

    Don't extract the rom or rename the zip, just put the zip file as it is in the roms folder of MAME

    All those files are separate rom chip dumps, unlike console carts that use a single rom chip arcade cabs use tons of rom chips

    The version of MAME you got is not a gui version but it should still work, so I would ask in what way is it not working

    Last time I looked at this game via MAME (Not recently) it was not fully emulated in fact it could not be played at all but this is stated on boot of the game, if this is still the state of the emulation for this game then you are better off looking at SuperModel that is a Sega Model 3 emulator, it's an old emulator that is far from perfect but can play a few games better than Mame can
