The problem could be your romfilter. Instead of setting it to *.s*, just use *.* and make sure your rom path is correct. If everythig is set up right in zsnes, and there are ONLY roms in the roms folder, it should work.

[LB11]

Exit gameex completely and go to:

Start>Programs>Gameex>RunLastGame.bat and see if it works.

[dalomarius10]

I checked the folder. And there were other non rom files. I took them out, restarted GameEx, and it works perfectly now! Detects All roms! Thx a bunch all!!
