Decompression error

You are welcome, thanks for bringing my attention to it.

Evening,

New member to this great site, but I'm having this same problem with various ROMs I've downloaded, wish I'd noted before and made a list.

I downloaded Atari-ST-Demos.zip from Atari/Single-Download-Mega-Packs.
The 285MB Atari-ST-Demos.zip unzipped fine, but I noticed that some of the zips within would not decompress.
A few examples are:

Ambition (1994)(Crystalic).st
Bird Mad Girl Show (1992)(Fraggie's).st
Cor Blimey Megademo (19xx)(-).st
Decade Demo (1990)(Inner Circle)[Preview].st

Tried a couple of different unzippers, all fail.
7Zip says Unsupported compression method for 'Decade Demo (1990)(Inner Circle)[Preview].st'

Latest version of WinZip 17.5 gave:
Extracting Decade Demo (1990)(Inner Circle)[Preview].st
Central and local directory mismatch for file "Decade Demo (1990)(Inner Circle)[Preview].st" (compressed size - local: 350835 central: 351180).
Severe Error: Local and central compressed size values don't match.

Windows XPs built-in extractor says something like unexpected end of file.

I have had the same on a couple of MAME roms and Atari ST game roms I've downloaded, but didn't think about it any more at the time.

Quick update, just been trying a few more from the Atari-ST-Demos.zip and found that Life's a Bitch (19xx)(Lost Boys).zip does not unzip.

So I've just gone & downloaded just that single zip from http://www.theoldcomputer.com/roms/inde ... ST/Demos/l and it too does not unzip.

I will check these tomorrow when I get a minute.
