When I rename the rom to metal_slug_1.zip and >metal_slug_1.png for SNAP folder, AdvanceMENU does NOT detect the rom!!! How's that weird? That's just as normal. AdvanceMAME / AdvanceMENU will look for, and recognize only mslug.zip. You can't change the file name to whatever you like and expect it magically finds out what that game is. AdvanceMENU isn't NeoRAGEx. >Please if anybody has any info on how I can get this thing up and running >it would be GREATLY appreciated! > >Eugenio Get WinZip and open mslug.zip with it, then write down all the files and CRCs that are inside them. You may need to enable CRC showing in WinZip settings (Options > Configuration > select "CRC" > click OK). After doing it, send an e-mail to the list with this information. Also test the archive with Shift + T. See if shows all files as OK. Filipe Estima -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
