Games will not load

Post by HelperUnknown »

When I try to load a game, it says, "Could not open [game name].zip." Does anyone have a fix for this?

How did you run the emulator? Where did you store the emulator and the roms?

They're all in my downloads. Should I store them somewhere else on my computer?

Are you using command prompt? If yes, can you wrote what did command lines you wrote to run the emulator?
Please note that if the roms is in the different directory than the emulator you must wrote the full path of it, and if it contain spaces it's must be wrapped in quotes ("") to each end, for example:

Code: Select all

"D:\Emulator and Roms\model 3\daytona2.zip"
And no, you don't really need to move them actually.

Haven’t used the command prompt. Don’t know the slightest bit about how it works. I might move my supermodel folder anyway for convenience sake.

What are you using then? Frontend GUI?

Are you talking about how I use the emulator? I'm using Sega Model 3 UI r886.

Update: I got it working now! After moving where the emulator and games were, I opened the directory and chose where they were. Surprisingly simple fix! I have another issue to tackle, but I'll do that in another thread.
