Did you remember to extract the ROMs from the 7z or RAR file? Use a compression app like 7-Zip to extract the files.

You should ignore the BAD ROM message if the game is playing. Chances are the game was prepatched.

NES games run on NES emus. ZSNES is an SNES emu. The SNES never ran NES games.

LOL I can't believe how many people don't read or even use their common sense. If he even bother to read the forum he would discover that Nestopia is a NES emulator and realize that a .nes ROM will run on that emulator.

Let me know how many of you have one. Oh wait, it's less than those that actually still own an SNES at this time.

I'm have a similar problem. ZSNES will not play my Sega or MAME roms either. Can someone please help?

I'm not sure about Sega, but ZSNES only supports a subset of the MAME platform. Specifically Cinematronics vector and Cinematronics Laserdisc games.

Isn't that mostly a Famiclone?
And yeah, I'd have bought one if the NTSC version wasn't rare as hell (I hear the PAL version, TriStar is much easier to find).

(thought admittedly, it's sorta pointless now since Famiclones are so cheap)

google is your friend

it's a piece of shit anyways, I would never own one. but that's like saying the snes never played gameboy games.
