    Mame does not support Rar or 7-zip file compression. You will need to extract the 7-zip file into your mame. This will produce a zip file.

    If you're nervous extracting it into your roms folder, extract it elsewhere, and tell mame where you put the file using the directories structure for the roms. Try the game and see how it works.

    Since it is self extracting, it may have already done this and the rom exists in your ROM folder.

    Hope that helps

    Odd...Were these roms that you downloaded? Or did they just appear in your folder mysteriously. I have several versions of mame running on my XP and I checked all the folders...no 7-zip files.

    All my roms I got in a package form (400 I beleave) from a file sharing software.

    7-Zip

    Just an FYI.
    ______________________________________________________
    I am searching the Google now for Roms in the 7Z format. I can't find any for Mame, but there are package roms for Snes. They are bout 50 mg or so.

    Since a Mame ROM is so tiny to begin with, I think I will have to search for a pack of roms.
