Launchbox can't find my roms. Working in emulator

Hi all,

I've been working on this issue independently and I've searched the forums, but I haven't found my specific issue. It seems like it would be an easy fix, but for the life of me I can't figure it out.

I only have this issue with N64. Here is what I've tried so far....

I originally tried to setup N64 with RetroArch. I was continually getting the error and I gave up on it. I recently came back to it and saw a newer video posted by ETA Prime recommending Project64. So, I gave that a try. Still the same issue. I'm trying to load all of my roms from and external HD because my internal drive is not big enough. I thought that might be part of the issue, however, I'm playing roms from this drive on the other emulators. Next I noticed that ETA's rom for N64 were already unzipped, so, I unzipped them.... No Go... Next I went ahead and moved the N64 roms to the Games folder on the internal drive thinking surely this would fix it... NADA. I've tried selecting all of the games and then "Change Rom's folder path" and "Export/Copy rom files to new folder" from the tools menu. 

Here are a few tabs from my Project 64 edit screen...

What am I missing???

I've done this several times, but I'll go step by step on what I'm seeing. I select all games, choose tools/Change folder path. I see this and select the folder that I have verified the .N64 versions of the roms exist. It says please select the folder that now contains the 304 selected games...

The only other odd thing that I've noticed is... when I select an individual game, it looks like it is looking for the .7z file...

Try turning on "Extract ROM Archive" in the Edit Emulator window for your Project 64 entry in LB.

If you already have that off i'm not sure what else to try other than removing your N64 games and re-importing them. You won't have to redownload any media so you can uncheck all of those to speed up the import process.
