    Default A Trimmed 32X Game Not Working on Kega Fusion

    A trimmed .32x file is not working on Kega Fusion. Any ideas? I know that a .zip file works.

    I don't know much about trimming 32x roms or even why anyone bothers but trimming roms in general can cause the roms to become corrupt instead of just saving space, it depends on the rom and the internal checks made and data stored between junk data.

    For emulation especially rom I wouldn't bother trimming any roms and just zip them up instead, I can understand more with something like GameCube [because of the large file size to start with 1.4GB per disc image] (as it happens some games on the gamecube can also become corrupt using some trimming methods with some games) DS lots of games become corrupt after trimming and that's more understandable for those using flash kits with smaller microSD cards.

    Simply answer is don't trim them
