On a side-note. Added ynxa to the softlist and it works. So a secondary idea that might bypass the problem one have from loading from terminal, is have a secondary softlist that's not distributed with mame, that can be used to load games like this? |

I tested a zipped set with lynx and it told me to insert a game. So I looked in the zipfile and there were 2 readme files included. Once I deleted them I tried again and this time it worked. So I'd suggest to remove any non-game files from your zip and give it another go. |

Looks like the OP isn't around. I've confirmed this, but not because of the specified game or system, it's a general problem that's always been around. If you specify a zip as a filename on the command-line, there's no way to specify which file inside the zip to use. So it just grabs the first file and attempts to use that - even if the file isn't on the extension list. The process should look further for a suitable file. |
