AOR Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 I have successfully been able to get MAME,NES,SNES,ATARI 2600 working on Lunchbox 13.7 I imported my Sega Genesis roms the same way by moving them into the Games/Sega genesis folder inside of Launchbox. Launchbox automatically found them and imported the artwork. When I try to start any SG game I get an error message that reads. "7-Zip returned an error when trying to extract the archive." I went to tools/emulators and it is set to use Retroarch. What am I doing wrong? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombob Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 In my experience, it has been best to not use .zip structures for console games. I have a folder with all the .md files together. This seems to have less issues and saves the step and time of having to extract a game every time you want to play anything. Most these files are less then 2mb so its not like your saving much space having it zipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it works, then we know you have a wrong setting in LB. If you have the checkbox enabled to extract archives for Retroarch then can try unchecking that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AOR Posted October 31 Author Share Posted October 31 thank you I will try those things both of you suggested. I am not really a windows user. I only use it for Lunchbox. Is there a way to unzip every folder inside of a folder or would I need to manually do them? Skizzosjt are your SG roms in zip format or unzipped?
