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!

sci

could you please quote the error about the files?

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.
