Thanx for the reply, right ive done that - "goodmerge/7zip/rar - Yes" It was on NO so i changed it to YES went in to the zipped file and deleted the readme. file in there too so it is only the rom and nothing else in the file and still no luck any other ideas or can i acquire another commodore file and run it via game ex or will it only run ones downloaded through gameex??? is this a logical idea or not?? thanx!!
