Well first off, this belongs in the support section. But that's not a big problem.

And about the problem, A little more info would help

what OS are you using?
What program are you using to try and open it?
Does this happen with any other zip file, or just the emulator?
Have you tried re downloading the emulator?

There that should keep you busy for awhile Tongue
PS, Welcome to the forums Big Grin

Which emulator(s) are you trying to get? I just downloaded FCEultra with no problem, but I'm wondering if some of the source files might have problems?

All the emulators are like that, except for the GBA ones..

you might need a new extraction program.
A nice simple one is
http://www.extractnow.com

Or you can find other nice ones at
http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/downloader/fwzip.html

I have a felling that is the problem, I have no trouble download and unzipping them. Tongue

Wtf? Stop misleading him. The one and only extraction program to use is Winrar. I haven't touched anything else in years. Well, at least nothing else in Windows.

Extractnow is the easiest and fastest way to extract Roms, it allows you to unzip (or unrar or unace or.....) a batch of files. it's very helpful for extracting a bunch of Roms if yo need to.

For extracting theres nothing better Tongue

For compressing I don't have a favorite.
But I do like IZArc

I think you need to start looking at new software Anile8 Tongue

Thanks Abobo, you've helped more people than you planned on.
Congrats.
