need help cant find my games anymore

Post by kuksoolwon »

Ive had Zsnes for over a year now and everytime that i opened it from exe it worked no problem my games were in order.!But a few day's ago i open it from my Desktop and i couldn't find any of my games!It kept showing my other files like Torrent,My Documents,the basic stuff but ive never seen this before so im wondering how can i find my games again?Aparently it is in a particuler folder but don't know which one i alway's just clicked it to open it and clicked on A throug hZ and it gave me a list of Games and now i can't find any of my games.

Probably your ZSNES folder if you never touched anything. Search your drives for "*.smc" and you will likely find where they are.

Just curious; how did the ROMs end up on your computer without you knowing to where they were written?

The latter makes me think the former won't (read: stupid RAWMZ set downloabladed through pipes / copied from friend::CD, because it's so cool to have 3452 games you'll never even load).

What makes you think WE know your hard drive's directory structure better than you do?

So, you payed a guy for something thats FREE and illegal... zsnes should never be bundles with games unless there public domain.

That's all very interesting, but still doesn't explain how we should know your directory structure.

Search for the supported extensions(RTFM!) and you will eventually find them.

well, it is entirely possible that kuksoolwon was such of a PITA that 20 dollars was hardly a fair trade, franpa.

Maybe he should have spent $20 towards learning how to use a computer. :p

there was virus that delete anything with *.jpg; *.jpe; *.jpeg; *.mov; *.mpg; *.gif; *.png; *.mp?

lets hope his computer doesn't infected with modified virus that delete *.sfc; *.smc; *.swc; *.jma

He wrote me a couple of PMs (for some reason), it seems he was just not trying hard enough before asking for help.

Exciting update: Now he sent me an e-mail, at least it ends with "i won't bother you anymore."

Add to this idea.

Tell him it needs an extremely fast CD drive, and send him a slightly cracked disc that should have GAEMS on it.

We can only hope he sits in front of his CD tray and it is at least chest-level.
