Broken zip file in MAME

[sci]

Hi, hate to be a bother, I've D/L Mame-0.72.7z.001 X2 and both copies state an error within this specific file.

Thanks, can you send me a notice when it's fixed? That would be super!

Have you downloaded all the parts of the archive into the same folder and then tried to decompress it? I suspect you have just downloaded the first part which will not work on its own. Download the readme.txt from the same folder for full details.

Yep. I did mate. There are 9 7z files. All the other multi-archives unzipped.

OK let me check now quickly and possible upload again.

EDIT: I just checked it and it seems to be working? Strange.

Would you try and download again for me?

And the mystery is solved. I was missing the .007 file. Go figure. RAR is an excellent compressor. The programs ability to tell us where the owie is? Not so much. Give it a try. Take out the .007 and see what error you get. Thanks for the help. I also donated £15 on your sister site.
