Arcade Games are Unzipping on Launch

[Jason Mangano]

Hello,

‌ I have noticed this in earlier versions… I am currently on the 9.9 big box/launchbox frontend. I am currently experiencing a bug that causes games to unzip even when the emulator has no checked boxes directing it to do so.

‌ Arcade roms are filed and stored as .zip files. Launching a Arcade game forces the game to launch with the “unzip before game launches” setting. Changing my first & main emulator “Retroarch” from unzip to just launch the file fixes the issue in other emulators. I am wondering if other users are experiencing anything similar.

‌ The fix to this issue is unchecking the box for the first emulator in my list which is Retroarch in order to fix my third emulator in the list. MameUI64???? weird right.

Hi Jason, let’s look into this on the forums, if possible. Since nothing related has changed and this hasn’t been reported by anyone else, I’m guessing it’s just confusion surrounding which emulator is launching, etc. You can call me out on the forums with @Jason Carr and we can troubleshoot.
