Roms, and Emulators, having trouble.

Postby Sparticus316 » Sun Jan 09, 2011 3:44 pm

I'm having trouble with the downloading, and installation process of the Roms, and Emulators, from your site, and your affiliates. It keeps wanting to download as a PDF, adobe file, and not unzipping, or whatever it is supposed to do. Can you help me out?

That's interesting... can you post a screenshot of what it's doing for us? If it is the suggested reason below, I'd go with WinRAR. It's absolutely the best. ;3

It sounds to me most likely that your PC does not understand what a ZIP file is because WINZIP or the like is not yet installed.

Find a free copy of Winzip and install it (maybe some of the gang can provide a link). Then when you download the files they will automatically open in winzip.

Failing that let us know and as Kherr said, post a picture to help us diagnose this issue.
