can't get zsnes to "see" other ROMS in ROMS folder

Post by scruffy »

so I go to LOAD then I select where I have my ROMS(ProgramFiles x86/Games/Zsnes/ROMS), and it only "sees" one ROM. the first time I installed it I got it working fine, but then I made some changes and now it just wont see the other ROMS in the ROMS folder......

I'm on W7 SP1


thanks

what extension (the part after the last period, e.g. ".smc") do your files have?
Why yes, my shift key *IS* broken.

Don't use Program Files for stand-alone programs, since Vista, Windows will virtualize the directory to make it function in a multi-user environment where "Users" can't normally write to the folder. You will have to move it to a folder that won't be virtualized by Windows (like a C:\Games or even in your Documents folder) or always run ZSNES as an administrator.
