[RESOLVED] Broken zip support in update?

[tomf80]

After I updated today when GameEx goes to unzip a game it dumps the unzipped files to c:\users\username\appdata\local emp\Unzipped7-Zip\, but the files are only 1kb. The contents of the unzipped files are nothing but a capital D.

Unzipping them myself, using 7za.exe that came with GameEx, they are extracted at their expected sized. The files themselves are zip files, and the results are the same regardless of what game or system chosen.

I am unable to replicate or determine what may be the cause of your issue. You may want to download the latest version and install over your current install (should have no adverse affects) and see if this resolves the problem. Otherwise, will need to escalate for further troubleshooting.

snes.cmd looks wrong to me in you r command line. Please fix this.

PS: To clarify your command line looks wrong. I don't think zip support has been broken. Please try the latest version though. It is normal to see those zero byte files. GameEx uses those to detect what is in the zip when loading the game info page.

The command line hasn't changed that I can tell. I didn't mention it before, as I didn't expect it would be relevant, but the same happens with NES games.

If those 0 byte files are normal, where do the roms get extracted to when the emulator runs?

I will download the latest version and install over my installation. I assumed that was the most recent version, as it had downloaded just before I went to run the game.

It extracts to the same location but it also does a very quick extract just to list what the contents are. It will clean up the folder each time so you wont see the files.

The update is downloading now, it seems you update often.

The problem has been resolved, it was not the zip support as I had guessed. It turns out, I had also updated RetroArch and the update to it included new Direct3D support that was built-in and I had it configured to use an old, and now incompatible, external dll.

Thanks for the help.
