bermudezjm Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Hey everyone, I tried to do a search before I posted this but I couldn't find my issue. I was able to import the set of MAME roms fine and I can play them. Next I tried to import the same way the mame roms were done but every time I try to import a set of roms I get this error for both for dreamcast and SNES.

Lordmonkus Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Did you just import one giant zip file of SNES roms ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bermudezjm Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 no, multiple. I even tried one game just to see what happens and it still game me that error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I see no error though. What I do see is one imported file called Super Nintendo Entertainment System so that is why I asked if you imported on giant zip file pack of SNES roms.

bermudezjm Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 no, they are zipped one at a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 can you zip up your supernintendo.xml from your data folder so we can look at it. It will be in your platforms folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I don't know if you are aware or not but we have a lot of great tutorials over on the Youtube channel for new users. Here is the Super Nintendo specific one to check out: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bermudezjm Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 I followed those to the dot already. here is the XML Super Nintendo Entertainment System.7z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 hmm I've never seen .sfrom.zip before don't know if that is causing the issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Can you show me a screen shot of the folder where you are importing your roms from ? The rom file names in your xml file look really oddly named, I have never seen a .sfrom.7z file before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bermudezjm Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 I got it to work by extracting the zip files. That was weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I'm fairly certain that the oddly named zip files were causing problems with the scraper and not matching it up to the database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bermudezjm Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Now I will try the dream cast ones, they are all zipped too. That one gave me issues too. thanks for the help guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 You can keep them zipped but if the naming of them has a lot of really weird extra stuff in them it can cause issues. For cart based systems we recommend No-Intro set roms, they are named with a sensible naming scheme, are most compatible and known to be good working roms. For CD based stuff we recommend Redump where possible. Now while we recommend those they aren't all that will work, those just help ensure compatibility and are easier to work with.
