having some troubles with roms

[McGuinty]

I can't get any of the roms i downloaded from here to extract. When i download the zip files, i get "-----.zip is not a valid win32 file", and when I downloaded everything again in rar, I get crc errors and "unexpected end of archive" when extracting on every single one. I'm getting n64, snes, nes and gba roms, and i have nemu, snes9x, vba and nesten to run them. both nemu and snes9x run all the games i already have, so this little problem is a pain in the ass. Is it something wrong with the roms or with my extraction software? Also, i was reading another thread about n64 roms that said nemu and other emulators can run roms straight from zip files without extracting. Is this true? the only emu i ever got to run without extracting was mame

Yes....MOF i don't know of any emu that does not suport playing from .zip's (Non Disk based systems)

sweet, I'll try runnin' em like that, but i'd still like to know why the rar's won't extract, that's bullshit

You might need to update winrar?

Other then that, they may be incomplete downloads.... (they should not run if they are imcomplete though)

yes that's just the problem. should i be downloading Roms thru FTP as well to avoid this? it is very weird

My first N64 downloads also gave me an error - message. I downloaded them with download accelerator. Emulator and unzip programs didn't work.
After renaming the file with .exe at the end the did work. Don't know if you got the same problem but maybe it helps...

sometimes if you download with dap you will get this kind of errors,try to download with your browser that should work
