NES won't work on out of box install of 4.4
-
Installed RetroPie stock image 4.4 on a pi2 on a brand new 32g sd card. Copied my Roms ZIP from my FCEUX folder on Windows -- all these roms work fine (it's the no-image set).
Have tried all 3 NES emulators. Have tried the whole archive, or single files (both zipped and unzipped). No Roms will load.

@glimo this is explained in the docs - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-Entertainment-System/
You need ROMs with headers. Headerless ROMs will not work.
